Passport Database Outage Leaves Thousands Stranded

Posted by Unknown on from the maintenance-considered-harmful dept.

linuxwrangler (582055) writes Job interviews missed, work and wedding plans disrupted, children unable to fly home with their adoptive parents. All this disruption is due to a outage involving the passport and visa processing database at the U.S. State Department. The problems have been ongoing since July 19 and the best estimate for repair is "soon." The system "crashed shortly after maintenance."

    Why would you want to work in China? That place is a shithole. Only people who work there are those who can't get a job in their home countries because they have terrible skills or no social skills. They fit in perfectly with the rest of the moronic chinese society who just blindly obey their parents and government.

    And a contract in China is worthless. Doesn't matter what is written there, they can violate it left and right and you can't do shit about it. Unless you are rich enough to bribe the police.

    Fuck China.
