Workers Cause More Problems Than Viruses
Technical Writing Geek writes "A new report finds that, for the first time, virus infections have slipped to the second spot on the list of computer security troublemakers. In first place— a company's own workers. 'The Computer Security Institute has just released the 2007 edition (PDF) of its long-running "Computer Crime and Security Survey," and it offers some dreary news for overworked computer security admins: average losses from attacks have surged this year. More surprising is the finding that the single biggest security threat faced by corporate networks doesn't come from virus writers any more; instead, it comes from company insiders.'"

Thus, we are all forced to work beyond our capacity to tolerate it with no appreciable reward.
No one is motivated by anything beyond fear. They don't value the system, they hate it.
Thus, things are falling apart.
There is no alternative, only stopgap measures to try to keep them all working, which will eventually fail.
Before it's all done, we will have to abandon the system, we will have to fight those who hang on till the end, and we will have to find another way to stay alive. Most won't.
But they're still trying to establish a fascist state, with locked borders, police acting in an arbitrary fashion for political reasons, etc.
There is no way out of any of this. None at all.
Just wait till it hits the tipping point. Then things are really going to get interesting.
Can't wait, personally.
