Spillover from the political forum

[jaguar]

Hm you're right, i guess I look at different scenarios.

What interests me is how little it takes for cities to colapse. When you talk to guys that play out scenarios like this for a job, particularly for risk assessment work for financial firms. Take for example the heatwave in Chicago in 95, it was close to causing breakdown of the emergency services. It was a heatwave. Our infrastructure is incredibly vunerable, it's not designed to cope with any major rapid change or any kind of major breakdown, the scenarios that can cause mass death and total colapse of authority are endless. The edge is always closer than we think.
