   @rbreich A dictatorship is one run by a dictator, one who rules by dictate, decree, rather than things going through the regular process of government. That's what doing everything by executive order is: Trump just dictates what he wants, and the system falls into line.

   It was a dictatorship on Day One.

   My concern here is about much more than the unfairness to Krebs, though this abuse of presidential power certainly harms him and makes him and his family targets for threats of violence.

   My larger concern is that this represents a clear and direct threat to anyone, inside or outside the administration, who dares raise a dissenting voice or who exposes facts that might be contrary to the party line.

   It is diametrically opposed to what the first amendment is designed to protect.

   It takes a lot to piss off Canadians.

   Suffice it to say, a sleeping giant woke up from the snow, looked around, and didn't like what it saw. Lots of folks don't understand the depth of pride and identity that is embedded deep into the soul of our nation. They don't understand the visceral depth of anger that most Canadians feel right now.

   Ponder that word: visceral.

   There will be a lot of information in the days, months, weeks (years?) to come. I'll be working hard to temper my comments, moderate my opinions, and manage my emotions. This will be tough. I will note that my next keynote will be for the Texas farming and agricultural industry.

   Anyway, there is a lot to think about and a lot to share. A good starting point is to appreciate that yes, this is a zero-sum game. There will be losers, and there will be losers. There are no winners, except for those who wish to see the destruction of a century of global trade based on mutual trust and respect.

   The big issue is - what is the pathway out? That's complicated. 
   The best I can offer you is this insight, being shared online, by one Prof. David Honig of Indiana University. 

   Read the last line.

   It's in my post today.

   I jokingly posted it the other day.

   100% a joke, there was no way it was DNS.

   Today I found a configuration line.

   It shouldn't matter, but just to exclude the impossible we had to try it.

   It was frikkin DNS.

   Not a network mesh latency issue, not a weird thing with the database, just some service (a shelf product, not our code) that incessantly looks up whatever names on every single request, without caching, and it was doing it from another continent, slowing everything to molasses.
