It's 2020 and...

El Reg,

That sarcastic joke has served you well in the past. It's 2019 and - funny. It's 2018 and - funny. Et cetera. But it really is 2020. Effing 2020. It's not funny this year. Trump didn't shoot anyone on 5th avenue, but he has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Johnson's killed even more Britons per capita.

Mentioning 2020 at all in terms of an IT fiasco seems as tasteless as comparing it to a genocide. This is a 20/20 vision of damnation. Let's not mention that again until we can say, "It's 2022, we are still alive, and there are still stupid IT vulnerabilities."
