The affected "healthcare" providers are slurping up people's money left and right, but cannot dispense the thing if the receipt printer is feeling unwell. How fucking ironic.

(Yes, the ubiquitous security theater - featuring such classics as "I was just filing out spreadsheets" by multiple Nortony award winner, best director of the decade Aud Itor, production by the Revolving Door of CISOs Comedy House - also can go and fuck themselves. But let's assign credit where it's due. If IT is critical, then treat it so. Instead what hundreds of millions of people have to suffer through are systems so incompetent and so reeking of agent-principal problems that just the knowledge of how this shit "works" gives me secondhand shame.)
