ArchivesThis could go on for weeks,or months - life changing stuff. Aside from the many thousands of stranded and/or disappointed people,we now have the imminent shortage of airfreighted exotic foods and the collapse of all sorts of just-in-time supply chains.
What will we discover about the way we live and work?
Let's hear it for teleconferencing, local foodstuffs, supply lines which are short and secure, and companies who don't shirk responsibilities to customers when the chips are down.
How is a civilisation with the collective attention span of a swarm of gnats going to cope with a news story which just goes on and on and on? What will the politicians do - because you can't negotiate with (or spin) a volcano. Primal forces just don't do deadlines.
This story isn't yet a week old. Watch and learn.
