Inflation hasn’t begun to spike and there aren’t yet any empty shelves at Walmart and Home Depot and Target, and nobody has had their Social Security numbers sold to crypto kings operating out of Pacific islands nobody has ever heard of.

The outage began soon after midday Spanish time and cities across the country have been impacted, although the popular tourist destinations of the Balearic and Canary Islands have not been as badly affected.
