Is Delta Community Credit Union compromised?

Do you think the IRS would be staffed to go through half of America not paying their taxes? (honest question) I'm curious to see what that mess would look like LOL

I wish everyone were down for a tax revolt. The government would react in the most violent ways we've never seen before if people actually started starving the leviathan.

Both federal and state, err don't wanna say the liability amount xD more than I wanna pay that's for sure! and yeah I received the 1200 stimulus in 2020. No legal spouse cause uncle sam shouldn't be involved in marriage anyways and I found out my liability when I was near the end of filing online.

Na, that stuff didn't happen here. Rioters would actually be shot here lol and yeah we have a state tax though

HA! its crazy you mention that because the person I was venting to said the same thing. Just gonna hold off for now and see what happens in March..

See again, you don't understand why it's relevant. Some people just have no shame in showing how stupid they are I guess. AGAIN, for the HUNDRETH TIME, companies aren't deliberately trying to put people's lives in danger, it's just that there's no human that can calculate the amount of force needed at these booster stations to keep the petrol flowing as quickly and as safely as SCADA can. There's literally no reason for people to be stationed there IF THEY CAN'T EVEN DO THAT. That's all the booster stations are for, just to keep pushing the petrol down the pipeline. SCADA then sends alerts to operators in various states who monitor literally THOUSANDS of sites.

Exxon, Southern Company, Colpipe and others, aren't going to pay THOUSANDS more engineers to man these sites, because as I've already explained, they can't even do what SCADA does on the fly, and secondly, that would be an absolutely INSANE expense for the company. They're either going to take it out of engineers' salaries, or push it onto the consumer. Controls engineers and petrol engineers are already a niche role and scarce, so they'll likely push costs onto the consumer which means your gas would cost something retarded like 10 dollars a gallon if they shifted in the completely ridiculous direction you're suggesting.

Economically AND technologically illiterate. Man you are on a ROLL. Keep it going! xD

And I already pointed out the flaws with your so called "solution". I used petroleum as an example since it's the one I know the most about, having worked with engineers at a petrol distribution company. I explained how booster stations work on the pipe line and why it's impossible for them to only be manned by humans and you never even addressed it, just ignorantly keep asserting that you're right while cherry picking the argument.

You made the claim. The burden of proof is in you. Now you're just dodging answering the question because you don't know shit about networking.

Are you drunk and just forget things that you say? I literally quoted you in my question and you addressed nothing. I know what a LAN is. I work on them everyday. Lol

SCADA uses HMI's as well as PLC's which means that at most they operate at the data link layer. Knowing that this is how they operate, how is it that a WAN network is an option for convenience when these are remote locations?

Demonstrating your illiteracy AGAIN. I've already thoroughly explained how humans are literally incapable of dynamically calculating pressure changes needed that quickly on the fly with say petroleum in transit so it's pointless to have a team of engineers at every booster station. This is what SCADA is for and how product is able to move so quickly to everyone. This situation in particular is not even a matter of the companies deliberately trying to put cost effectiveness over public safety, it's literally the limitations of the human brain because we're not fucking computers. Maybe we could do this after Elon Musk implants everyone with Neural Link but until then, it ain't happening buddy.

Again, you didn't READ. I just mentioned that SCADA is used in the water, oil, and waste industries' logistics, etc. Me pointing that fact out is not me saying water plant = nuclear plant YOU FUCKING MORON.

Also I never claimed that a nuclear power plant was literally the same as a water plant. Learn to read. But water plants do unintentionally create toxic chemicals through the treatment processes. Look it up.

To further break it down in a way you can understand, as it pertains to petroleum being transported through pipelines, humans calculate the initial pressure needed to send the petroleum from say NY to TN but there's booster stations along the way to help it maintain a certain amount of pressure for it to reach it's destination. The reason why these booster stations are unmanned and SCADA is so useful here, is because it can dynamically change the pressure needed to keep that petroleum flowing through the pipe without causing it to burst or it can detect issues in transportation and close valves automatically as needed then send an alarm to a designated SCADA team. Humans cannot calculate the changes needed in pressure that quickly with tons of oil moving that fast. It's literally impossible.

From an economics stand point, your idea of having fully manned sites for all these companies, would cripple them financially and you wouldn't even get your oil or water in the first fucking place because they'd barely be able to afford to keep the lights on. A senior fluid dynamics engineer costs about 100k a year and a SCADA engineer is about the same and you're talking about having a whole team of these dudes on every site. Might not literally cripple them but quality in other areas would suffer because the oil companies and water companies would cut costs somewhere to compensate for that.

Being able to work remotely prevents workers from dying due to incidents like Chernobyl.
