What will get shut down next?

I wouldn't be surprised if Internet and cell phone services are partially shut down.

We're in terrifying times with that effing maniac at the helm.

This reminds me of hysterical posts months ago saying the electric grid would go down.

I’m still laughing at the toilet paper panic so many participated in.

This whole thing has shown how much good internet is needed. That’s some infrastructure that the providers can pony up for too.
