Didn't Switzerland pull shit like literally put explosives around bridges and data links so if someone invades people could, quite literally "go to the mattresses"? I heard lots of stories like that from people who would claim they have friends in GCHQ or whatever as I'd repeatedly remind folks I have never filled out an SF-86, I'm literally just some guy that people with TS:SCI clearances have talked too much in front of since childhood. I worry that kind of movie plot threat modeling is why you saw what happened in Texas, repeatedly: https://stateimpact.npr.org/texas/tag/2011-blackouts/ https://stateimpact.npr.org/texas/tag/2011-blackouts/ https://www.npr.org/2021/02/16/968230163/millions-without-power-in-texas-northern-mexico-as-blackouts-and-bitter-cold-con https://www.npr.org/2021/02/16/968230163/millions-without-po... People made decisions that seemed right at the time, but didn't factor in the costs, in all senses of the word, of upkeeping a complex defense system with physical components that may... decay. You cannot do things like maintain a separate power grid to make it easier to secede, then pair that with no state income tax to ensure upkeep of your parallel infrastructure, or your people will die in large numbers, multiple times, as some Glasnost loving, chicken fingers addicted autist repeated comes onto The Website to remind folks: you were told that exactly this scenario, on this day, would happen if you ignored the warnings delivered in person, face to face, repeatedly, for over a decade, of the consequences of your decisions. Now, wall of text aside, this is a fascinating article. My hometown can get into the 90s with high humidity, but has abundant caves if you know where to go (we used to mine coal more than we do now), so I find this kind of writing extremely educational, and I thank the OP for pointing me to it.
