      Honest question, will they ever have an epiphany? Florida having no warnings for hurricanes seems like it’s going to be an issue that affects them.

          There’s a German novel called “NSA - Nationales Sicherheitsamt” (which is a literal translation of the US National Security Agency to German).

          The plot is an alternative history in which the Nazis had some of today’s tech (read computers, internet, databases), although quite “ancient” and not with the full potential unlocked, that we have today. Then an analyst realizes, what one can do with this tech and that her queries endanger her friends more and more.

            They did have computers back then. ibm helped them right out, just like modern tech is helping the nazis now.

              Yeah, but that novel assumes, that they also had internet, electronic cash, mobile phones, etc. so you get the modern tracking possibilities combined with the literal Nazis. They just weren’t really proficient in using that, but that changes through out the story.

      Don’t forget actual laws passing in poorly educated state legislatures banning “chem trails” 🤦

      Who’s going to fund the billionaires? They need a lot of money to keep themselves rich? You think they hoard because they are capitalists? They’re paycheck to paycheck. You should all be ashamed disregarding the cannibalism route as a solution.
