And that’s why we should never go Full DIGITAL ‼️

[YorkshireD]

Never give up cash. Digital credits would spell disaster in more ways than one

[ashleyoasis]

the fact the entire world runs on one system is just out right scary

[davefroby]

Not like the WEF pledged to do this or anything...

[Jojohumf]

And they want everyone to use a digital currency🤣 what could possible go wrong

[andyjm]

Funny that the WEF kept telling this was gonna happen...

[stoicsceptic]

Thank god Crowdstrike ( who admitted responsibility) are NOT a corporate partner of the World Economic Forum……oh 😮

[tariqlatif]

They wanted tech, above all else..they got it...

Computer failure doesn't stop you spending cash.

[leecromer]

Oh, the irony, a system designed to stop hackers f***s up the whole world😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍

[jasonleigh]

Have you tried unplugging it then restarting it? 😂😂😂😂

[alanyoung]

However, instead they had to phone me "because their comouters were down..." Phone call appointments versus bloods taken...hm, I dont think technology has yet reached the point of 'over the phone phlebotomy' ?!😮🤔🤭

As an electronics engineering student this is exactly why I think things should not lean towards software so much.
Advanced mathematics & physics > code…

I was laying on a lounger, by a pool, in Tenerife, with a beer in my hand. Didn't even know it happened until about an hour ago 😂😂😂

[Bart-Did-it]

Can we turn off the Internet now please and throw our phones away for ever . Aaah the bliss of the natural world back would be overwhelmingly good .
