I am a member of the board of an organization which is so pathetic that it recently elected me chair. In furtherance of my duties, I proposed to set up a shared Dropbox folder, which I attempted to do last night. I experienced difficulties sharing the folder. I did a bit of investigating and discovered to my dismay that the Dropbox service was down.
Now, this is a service that has been around for a while. This was not a question of start up woes like those that plagued HealthCare.gov. This inexplicable failure to provide perfect and bug free service is obvious proof that private enterprise is a total failure. This morning, the service is still down. This means that millions of people have been deprived of access to their files for at least 15 hours, a longer wait than that experienced on healthcare.gov. The only solution is to 1) force Dropbox to cease doing business; 2) abandon the entire idea of cloud based storage; and 3) dismantle the free enterprise system.
I mean, I even had to save this post to local storage on my Ipad instead of syncing to a dropbox folder as I normally would. This kind of torture can't go on.
I'm writing this now because I want to be first with this meme, as I'm sure the right wing, consistent as always, will be trumpeting capitalism's failure any minute now.
