We're getting booed by Canada. We're losing track of radioactive material. We're about to send Europe into a panic and maaaaybe even break NATO? I don't even know. It's still the weekend. He hasn't even been here a month.

@quinn No, that's not how it works.

There's a whole lot of people running around talking about the sky falling, but they're just promoting misinformation. That's not how any of this works.

Don't believe people who try to sell that kind of sensational story.

Isn't it obvious? If a couple of days of employment confusion leads to such dire consequences then we have much much deeper problems.

Our systems are much more rigorous than that. You think we're going to set up a system that can so collapse if somebody is out sick for a couple of days? No. Obviously that's not how we do things.

And as for source, this is a field I work in. I'm part of the team that makes sure things are not so fragile.

Don't believe the sensationalism. Those stories just don't make sense.

@quinn

@volkris @davidaugust what if you're living in that world and you just haven't realized it yet?

@quinn I deal with those systems. I'm part of the effort to ensure that we don't live in that world!
