There is plenty of blame that can be placed on all political spectrums.
What is unfortunate is the unintended results.
Many schools have resorted back to remote learning?
Why? Can't get enough bus drivers, of all things.
Need a car repair; it may be difficult to get parts.
And that may be the very problem the blind tech companies could be facing
in some instances.
And there are all sort of anomalies at pllay right now that give the U.S.,
in some instances, the feel of a 3rd country.
And if that is the direction we're heading in, many of the businesses
people on this list depend on, will cease to exist.
And we'll be worse off for it.
So, I guess, we need to show some patience in many of our demands and hope
and pray that those businesses we depend on for our software, hardware,
services and the like
can simply survive and get through this.
And, if formalized tech support declines, hopefully the companies that run
the email groups can keep their heads above water as we'll be more than
ever dependent on the peer-to-peer support
lists can and do provide.
Right now, my heart goes out to small businesses as their bottom lines are
more tenuous than bigger firms who might have a bit more leverage and a
base to spread things over.
I'm glad that Dan was able to figure out his JFW problem; and for the
moment, we may find tech support, in general, not what we expect in a lot
of places given all that has happened including the pandemic
which stopped many things dead in their tracks.
