You can choose to shut down one company's operations for 24 hours. Who and why?

Whatever the biggest branch of Banks are. I'd shut them down. Watch people who can't manage their money panic. I would lose my shit.

Go after visa or mastercard instead,the majority of banks run their debit systems off one of those two, also takes out credit, watch the world stop as no average citizen can buy anything.

Their advice can be great in a pinch and for bizarre one off situations but the frugality suggested by most over there is just no way to live and still feel alive, its great to plan and save but whats the point if your not living to feel alive.

Coca cola. 24 hrs should be plenty of time for me to steal their secret recipe.

That'd pretty much only affect America though.

I was under the assumption that Amazons catalog sucked outside of the US. I know it's awful in Australia at least.

Thanks!

AWS, kindle and fire tv would all be down. A lot companys use the amazon cloud. Also happy cake day.

Amazons online store is more of a side business for them, the effects on the internet in general would be HUGE.

The Electric Company. It would force everyone on their cellphones to go outside. (Hopefully not start a riot) Hospitals have power generators.

That only affects one country. I would shut down McDonald's and watch the world burn

United Airlines. A great chance to make everyone boycotts them.
