This reminds me of 1960 all over again and the rush to build fallout shelters.

“This reminds me of 1960 all over again and the rush to build fallout shelters.”

It sure does. Maybe the “duck and cover” drills will be returning to a school near you too.

"This reminds me of 1960 all over again and the rush to build fallout shelters."

Was in grammar school in the 50's. We had regular air-raid drills, although I don't know what good they were. They used to take us out into the hall to sit quietly along the walls on either side of the building wing. There were windows up and down the hall, so there wouldn't have been much protection if they had dropped the big one.

My elementary school had a decent fallout shelter. But it could accommodate perhaps only 1/4 of the school. Every kid not assigned to the shelter had to go stand in the hallway, and face the wall.

My class was assigned to the hallway. So that’s where I went when the practice air raid siren went off. Sadly, no kid in my class was rebel enough to lead us into a pitched battle for the limited fallout shelter space.

The Rooskies never pushed the button. So I guess all’s well that ends well.

Duck and cover. “Be afraid, be very afraid.” Interesting that this is just the rinse-and-repeat game. Ah the legacy media....

Building fallout shelters when you have a crack pot like Biden for President makes sense.
