Not to defend Colonial, but they are a business and they’re in business to make money. Also, the computer systems have replaced the manual paper systems of yore. You can’t just suddenly grab a pad of paper and a calculator to replace complex automated billing systems and having them on standby doesn’t really make…

A company couldn’t bill its customers and they’re greedy and evil because they should have just given away everything for free instead? What?

And fossil fuel subsidies?

Seeing as the US is basically just this week starting to open up after hitting vaccination target, this seems a little premature. Taking care of this country first is essentially to getting the public’s buy-in on helping other countries. Charity starts at home and all that. 

This is next-level trolling.

The basis of this article is so fundamentally stupid I don’t even know where to begin criticizing it. How did this get published?

1st, India is in the Northern Hemisphere. That bugged me.

As another commenter stated Moderna is not enforcing its patents. And India actively decided NOT to allow Pfizer and other foreign vaccines to be available in India, a decision which they have now reversed.

India in.. the.. Southern Hemisphere?

yeah no fuck that. ip laws are important. china already steals everyones shit and makes cheap copies and resells it. at least for now there are legal repercussions. and like others have said india did this to themselves. their government did anyway. they had access and sold it because money was more important than…

All this. But also, India is on the northern hemisphere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Hemisphere

Their tight hold on the technology for their covid-19 vaccines has made them billions of dollars.

No Golden Glove for you!

As someone who works in comms (though external, not internal), trust me when I say these final versions are not our choice - we may write the statements, but it’s the senior leaders who want this voice and will keep rejecting it until we take it there.

Read: You didn't get it and are furiously backpedaling. 

Wow, Cellebrite. Way to say absolutely nothing. That’s not a comment, that’s an automated telephone line introduction.

I don’t have to read shit anywhere. I see the bullshit right here.

Ah, and there’s the ignorance that makes up the current woke cultural warriors. You can’t you imagine anyone other than some right wing nut disagreeing with you on today’s hot topic. Can’t imagine that a normal person who supported Bernie Sanders and has attended BLM rallies would ever not toe the line with your…

Your virtue signaling is just sad.

The term is manslaughter.  But you probably knew that already.
