My office just sent out a message saying the elevator union workers are going on strike tomorrow and all elevators will be shut down.

The elevator industry is a huge cartel too. Lots of proprietary components and tools. If you need something rare or old, be prepared to wait 6 months to a year for service.

Damn things should just be standardized by law.

Dairy Queen is better.

All industrial machines are like this now because every manufacture has to build a perfect snowflake. We have some mission critical parts with a 14 month back-order, so one good power flicker or flood and we loose a production line for the next year.

Fuck you Lenze and Siemens. I have seen crowd sourced 3D printers more reliable than the crap you produce.
