On the bright side, a disruption in supply may teach us what we really need, and what we don't need. Maybe after this breakout we'll realize the importance of slowing down, consuming less, and resting more.

Which will lead to massive layoffs, starting with the most vulnerable (small businesses, hourly workers, etc)

I'm mostly hoping people start taking their flu shots...

I'm pissed off the iPhone 9 won't come out. With time I will get more pissed off.

This is the most absurdly entitled thing I have read today.

I had a phone stolen a couple of weeks ago, and initially I was trying to buy a new phone outright (ended up filing a claim and having my new one overnighted, but lack of SMS access would have prevented me from doing my job, hence the urgency). None of the local Verizon stores had any phones (11 Pro Max) in stock (they explicitly said it was due to China supply chain), but Best Buy did.

It's not even about a super fancy phone either, it's the bargain bin version of the iPhone.

I don't eat bats and I don't travel, so I don't see why it's fair that I should be affected by this.
