Repairing your own vehicles and machinery - caikgoch - 07-30-2021 Quote: It's real simple, follow the money. A friend of mine was one of the engineers that automated the Exxonmobile plant in Baytown. That's a 3,400 acre facility with more than 10,000 union employees. After the job was complete it became possible for 2 management personnel per shift to operate the entire plant. How long has it been since you've seen a strike or nasty contract negotiation in the news? Of course someone will eventually have to get their hands dirty to do maintenance but there's always Brown & Root for that.

A closed network would work as well without exposure to Ransomware or GRU. Repairing your own vehicles and machinery - caikgoch - 07-31-2021 Quote: Why would anyone want to lay miles of dedicated fiber in expensive rights of way that would be used to 0.0001% of its capacity when there's a ready made, it just works, network already in place? You may not be aware but the plant isn't 1 contiguous lump. One of the adventures of working there is signing in and out of various gates to cross or traverse Baytown city streets. And you had better not take any short cuts. Now think of how much more true that would be of a pipeline. In fact, one of the things that broke Enron was laying fiber down their pipeline rights of way on pure speculation. |
