That's a great point, when my internet was down the other day I was bored out of my mind.
Wouldn't you want people to be able to keep using stuff like Netflix so their placated?
Instead, this appears to have made things much worse, since you have a lot of bored, angry people with nothing better to do. Something strange is going on, why wouldn't you gradually transition people to higher gas prices. I strongly suspect if you saw gas tripling price overnight in America, people wouldn't be so happy here.

Curious... Russia seems jumping at the bit to take over more territory... if there's so much turmoil in your country and discombobulation...what's stopping them from coming in and taking over? You're right there in easy grasp....
I was surprised by information vacuum caused by lack of Internet. I don't have TV antenna or radio, so I even considered going to meetings despite being a peaceful citizen. I just did not have anything to do.
I got Internet at 0:00. Hopefully it was not a mistake. I definitely would protest out of boredom if they'll continue to cut an Internet.
