Because that's never happened before, so nobody's given a thought to, I don't know, hardening the grid or anything. Ok, well the power would be out and a lot of people could handle that (well the Amish would certainly survive at any rate), but they figure a grid down scenario would go on for at least 18 months during which a LOT of people would die. A LOT. <br /><br />The fun thing is, you have all of these nuclear power plants everywhere with exactly what, 8 days of diesel backup to cool their cores? Once that goes, they start to melt down. Figure the CME only hits one side of the planet, so only 200 or so power plants are affected this way. That's 200 Chernobyls. Yeah, nobody without a hell of a bunker is going to make it through THAT. <br /><br />So hey! At least with Ebola there's quarantine and isolation, right? There we go, things are looking up already! :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-85570644981950319282014-11-06T06:43:27.854-08:002014-11-06T06:43:27.854-08:00Hey Aesop.

That chokes off the money. Not good for politicians to oversee choking off the money. I leave what to think about how this affects reported numbers to your imagination.<br /><br />As to beds we're building over there, I make the same point, except in this case it's the beneficiaries of government contracts to get everything over there and do stuff related to the building. (Didn't Obama ask for something like $500 million for this? Where does that money go -- to whom? Does it have anything to do with stemming Ebola?) <br /><br />So, of course, even if it is so that the numbers actually are dropping and the drop, if real, is a true trend, we're going to build the stuff or figure out some other way of paying those involved what was promised, regardless. <br /><br />Root of all evil, they say. True enough as far as that goes.
