There has been a considerable loss of skills in technical services and emergency support thanks to Covid. Or rather, thanks to how we HANDLE covid. A lot of senior workers have retired early. Not just in nursing, but in electrical and trades. We also hear about supply problems for spare parts. Production problems, stuff is simply not being made. For example I order parts for work and am told the deliver is 1.5 years. Estimated, not guaranteed. If those parts are mission-critical, we are done.

Imagine if we had an ice storm now like in Montreal in '98. It took them weeks to get power back on in the middle of winter. Hard to solve problems if you can't GET a transformer, let alone find someone qualified to do the work.

That's why. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, Billy.

You're one of those people who takes a dump in his living room and then complains about how dirty it is?

No. I’m not your mom.
