"Did you know, for example, that your chances of surviving an atom bomb attack are excellent?" - Groucho Marx
You're not insinuating that Groucho would lie are you?
Decades ago the US government came up with an ingenious "Duck & Cover" strategy that rivals the "lock yourself in Mom's basement" Covid strategy that was recently all the rage.

I also understand that you can find a barn & pile hay along its sides for even more protection.
Whatever happens we should all sleep soundly knowing that, in the event of a nuclear bitch slap, Joe Biden will be in a bunker somewhere spouting red, white & blue gibberish until the Ensure runs out.
If there are enough shovels to go around, everybody's going to make it."" Scheer, a Los Angeles Times reporter and former Ramparts editor, got that assessment of American civil defense capabilities from T. K. Jones, current Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, Strategic and Theater Nuclear Forces, and a former Boeing manager. What ""T.K."" meant was that, with a shovel, anyone can dig a fallout shelter--a simple hole in the ground with a door over the top and three feet of earth on top of that. ""It's the dirt that does it,"" he said.
I read that back in the 80s. It was very disheartening to say the least that freaks like the ones in the book are planning our doom on our dime. Fucking psychos.
I've been to a nuclear survival shelter near Ottawa called the Diefenbunker, a fancy name for a really big tomb. The thing that struck me is that they had a jail there for survivors who went insane.
I suppose that a post apocalyptic bomb shelter spree shooter would be mighty inconvenient.
My own post apocalypse goal is to be able to choreograph my own shadowing so my bomb created shadow is in the process of making that stupid gesture of surprise where both hands are mimicking an exploding head.
A little post modern self referential ironic humor for the surviving cockroaches.
This has always been my favorite nuclear madness site:
Call me crazy but I would say that going insane deep underground, knowing for sure that all of your friends, family, indeed, your nation, is dead, is the sane thing to do.

Nothing else should matter.
"With enough shovels"

I did too. I was young enough then that I saw some point in "surviving".
Since I have learned that fighting over a scorched and irradiated can of beans at in the remnants of a supermarket is not really a life worth living.
They were shoveling something all right, it just wasn't dirt.
People, quite correctly, used to fear nuclear war.
Today, they seem to be insisting on it.
Where are the protests?
Yeah, Eric Weinstein said that we need to restart above ground nuclear testing because people seem to have forgotten how horrific those weapons are.
I tend to agree.
Although I think that Forrest Gump once said that "stupid is as stupid does," so maybe that covers it.
I am thinking that Putin may nuke say, Chicago, as a wake up call.
I only know that if he nukes East Palestine no one will give a shit.
If Putin was shooting the legs off Pals, then it would be an issue. As it is?
I think that Vlad is trying to demonstrate his Juggalo bone fides
It was Trump who said he didn’t understand why we had nuclear weapons if we weren’t going to use them

That is fucking priceless.

The cafeteria has beach scene murals.
Bad ones.
It sounds like they might need bigger jail.
That's a great idea!
