When a single company becomes important enough that the government starts talking like this, you realize it’s basically part corporation, part national infrastructure.

The really unsettling thing is how quickly people adapt psychologically. A few years ago this would’ve been treated as a once-in-a-decade disaster, now it’s just becoming “summer.”
