We would do better to build more prisons for The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.
7000 sq ft, 12 acres, mine
Me too. There are blessings untold with basement life. During tornadoes, you never have to leave your bed. Just grab your mattress and roll over onto the floor and there you are...all sheltered! 🤣👍
bttt
Fallout is not really that big a problem unless you are downwind of a ground blast or a grouping of them. By the time the fine stuff comes down it is both dispersed and significantly decayed. Even with thousands of nukes the world is a big place.
The worst part by far is the horrific loss of life if one goes off over a population center. Presumably there is not so much reason to directly target population centers because you primarily want to reduce your enemy’s second strike capability. Targeting enemy population centers leaves their nukes intact and maximizes their motivation to use them.
Bomb shelters aren’t for protecting from fallout, they’re for protecting from the bomb blast. If you plan to stay in your “bomb shelter” until the half-life of the fallout has run out, you’d better install (and stock) one damn big pantry.
As all of the so called "competitive carriers" have been bought by and integrated into the most successful Baby Bells, I believe they are aware of these obligations especially after 9/11. I worked 25 hours straight rerouting American Express circuits around their catastrophic loss in NYC.
The three so called "Baby Bells" that had been under the AT&T umbrella after mergers and acquisitions are now called, AT&T, Verizon and Lumen Technologies
RBOCs were originally known as Regional Holding Companies (RHCs). Currently, three companies have the RBOCs as predecessors: AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen Technologies.Just between you and me, MCI still exists, DBA(doing business as) Verizon Business.
Why would you ask if he was kidding?
I cringe and wonder how the world has gotten to a place where some folks might actually be thinking that a war with sappers and grenadiers might be a good thing, a “winnable” thing.
I cringe and wonder how the world has gotten to a place where some folks might actually be thinking that a war with mustard gas, chlorine gas or phosgene gas might be a good thing, a “winnable” thing.
I cringe and wonder how the world has gotten to a place where some folks might actually be thinking that a war with aircraft dropping bombs might be a good thing, a “winnable” thing.
I cringe and wonder how the world has gotten to a place where some folks might actually be thinking that a war with directed energy weapons - particle beams, laser beams and microwave beams- sonic cannons, railguns, hypersonic cruise missiles, and hypersonic glide vehicles, might be a good thing, a “winnable” thing.
You might as well rail against sticks and stones. A nuclear war will happen and some will survive.
Who needs a bomb shelter. A federal agency has already issued instructions about using a N95 mask in the event of a nuclear war.
Ten years of nuclear winter with no ozone and under 40% of normal solar reaching the ground pretty much every land plant fails to have active photosynthesis with either of those two factors. So humans would need at least a decade of food stored up in a cave or mine shaft ala Dr Strangelove style. Ten to one females to male for the species of course.
