I'm a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won't get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.

But the world won't end.

You'll all be fighting in the streets for food by the end of next week. Logistics literally moves the world. ๐Ÿšš

You mean the rice I eat that is grown mostly on other side of the world didn't appear at my door step magically???

Yup. I'm a warehouse manager. The logistics/ transportation/ warehousing industry is already stretched disturbingly thin. If we take away the people who run the places, the world will grind to a halt.

I pressed a few buttons on my computer and as a result am expecting a specific product to arrive at my door step later today.

The level organization and infrastructure required to make it so that I can have 1 of like a million products hand delivered to my door within hours of me deciding I want it is staggering to be honest.

I'm a forklift operator. A lot of things would stop outright. That, or become so slow it might as well have stopped.
