[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4021848, member: 27098"] Back in the 50's and 60's the gov't had plans that actually helped civilians if the worst happened, like CD Fallout and Bomb Shelters and our National highway system. The shelters were equiped with the best equipment available at the time, food, water, medical equipment, geiger counters (10's of thousands) and booklets with good information that may just keep one alive. The last Geiger counters issued for CD was back in 1977 (only 700 and are extremely collectable.) Now in a nuclear attack it's we'll alert you on smartphone, shelter in place (assuming EMP hasn't killed your phone and there are buildings left that you can shelter in.) Here's another example, the traditional 90 volt phone systems were designed to work for a minimum of 8 hours on backup batteries at hardened POP centers and survive emp. Now everyone offers VOIP phone service even if you don't want it, and do you really think they would survive a computer virus attack or emp of any magnitude? Do you really think they handled Covid well? Polio and Cholera were handled better with old school medical tech. Sorry [USER=42584]@Chuckie[/USER], you won't convince me that they are as smart. If they are as smart as back then they are incredibly evil which bodes even worse for us. [/QUOTE]
