"When you have an enforced connectivity regardless model pushed to the master revenue plan added to antiquated security systems and zip due diligence like LinkedIn – that's a FUBAR train wreck waiting to happen."
Sorry, what language is this - it certainly isn't English, even the US variety!
I can't help thinking that if anyone actually seriously uttered this gibberish, they definitely need nelp.
