For those of you with your head in the sand, let me help you understand something:
The world's economy relies on the internet functioning.
Over the past 48 hours, vulnerabilities -- extremely time-critical, highest-possible-impact vulnerabilities -- have surfaced, many with exploits ready to go, that threaten effectively 100% of the internet (and that's just 4: node.js, php, DNS, and the Hindu CA fiasco).
If shit online stops working, shit in the real world stops working. Money stops moving. Food stops moving. Goods and services stop being available. Shipping grinds to a crawl, if not a halt.
You thought the supply-chain problems in 2020-2021 were bad?
That was a fucking cakewalk compared to what would happen if millions of us weren't busy busting our asses 24/7 for the past few days, and for the immediate future, ensuring you still get your $40 burrito delivered to your door.
Because when that shit stops, the room-temp braintrusts take to the street and start burning and killing.
