    This is the correct answer.

    So far, accusations have only reached the threshold of "allegation."

    The next step calls for motions of discovery, depositions, exhibits and expert witnesses.

    The lawsuit itself is harmless.

    Due process will prevail.

    Nothing to see here.

    People who are oppressed should have the ability and right to riot when other avenues are exhausted.

    When rioting fails, what other "rights," should kick in?

    First, you don't get to define "protesting" as blocking streets. That's "rioting."

    At the first management/vendor meeting, I got to ask the first question: "How will response time compare to what we have now, with our servers in-house?"

    "Oh, it will be much faster!"

    It got worse from there.

    I asked the owner if he knew that light slowed down in a medium and he said he did.

    We already used RDP to the desktop and he KNEW about the latency.

    Management ignored the red flags I threw on the play and put everything on the cloud against my recommendation.

    We were a law firm and a time came when an elderly couple traveled from far away to sign some wills and the goddam cloud was down.

    The family law practitioner blew her fucking top and confronted me and told me to implement Plan B.

    I told her, "Ma'am, Plan B is Plan A."
