The Generator’s Gone
An amusing story about network management, right out of John Carpenter’s 1982 version of The Thing.*
It appears that there was a small bit of civil unrest, and a client lost connectivity, and they were unable to contact the client for some time.
When they finally managed to get an engineer over to reboot the network, the network was gone…as in GONE…the copper taken by looters, stripped right out of the walls.
The pertinent quote from the movie:
Garry: The generator’s gone.
MacReady: Any way we can we fix it?
Garry: It’s “gone”, MacReady.
Just go read it, it’s funny.
*Except, of course for that whole human replica producing alien thing, of course.

Because it appears that Sarah Palin is having problems getting 6 figure speaking gigs, at least getting them in places other than China, because, “The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot.”
OK, sometimes the market gets it right.
