The latest bad news GPS failure

If you purchased GPS 3-5 years ago you were the envy of your friends but you overpaid. If you purchased a GPS a few years ago you were getting good deals and better features at lower prices; and the past year it has been bargain basement GPS prices with great features.
This was to be expected like all electronic purchases. But who would have guessed that satellites that guide our GPS devices would be falling out of space, rendering many of our devices working inconsistently or with severe interruptions.
I had just commented to my wife how great it was in today's corporate environment where consumers have to buy everything except the air we breath that we finally benefit from tax paid technology probably aimed at military technology from the 90's that consumers can actually use a few years later such as in 2005+, in the case of GPS units. This is how technology development should work in our society where everyone benefits. Sorry if this sounds socialistic where consumers who pay taxes actually benefit from taxes being paid instead of just Instead of just bowing to corportions and the military. SO.....now the corporations sell us the GPS units just in time for the GPS satellites falling out of the skies. Millions of consumers with GPS hand held/car/bike units rendered ineffective.
Who will pay for the new consumer-based satellites that will be required for our GPS toys to work again? Hmmmmm

 

Because........I didn't know where to post it, maybe.....
