The Verizon Headache: Strike and Sabotage

10 Aug
  • Verizon workers are angry.
    • At Verizon.
  • 45,000 of its workers have been on strike for several days.
  • Now there are reports of fiber optic lines being slashed by what are likely a few rogue asses.
  • Fiber optic lines carry cable, internet and phone service.
  • Sure there are cell phones, but what if you really really really need to call 911 from a land line that’s been destroyed?
  • In one incident, phone service to a police department in NJ was interrupted.
  • Messing with public safety because, like a small, pooping child, you have no control of your emotions is not very cool.

Not pretty. Not very cool.
