“Then you have to hope the people that run the facility make it there”

Ha, great book. Full Circle, Bruce Arris, 1963.

Very obscure, not even on Amazon. I have a hardcover copy.

The nearby rednecks made it instead of the soldiers, and only a few came out a hundred or so yeas later with no natural immunities, to get wiped out by accidents and disease, while the native American Indians had reclaimed the land.

Too bad if they are still on the Russian’s target list - usually assign 3-4 warheads per silo, just in case the warped capitalists are lying ...

TNT’s Snowpiercer has been better than expected.

Have you been watching it? I've been recording the episodes but haven't watched any of then yet........

I did watch the original that had an ending and I hope this series has one also......

I’ll take that trip gladly.

There are a lot of abandoned missile siloes around the country, and if some rich guy wants to spend his money on one more power to him. Of course the whole plan will collapse as the aftermath stretches from weeks to months, and as several wise people mentioned, there would be armed “guards” out there getting pretty hungry, who know exactly where it is and how to Get in. Might be fun for a while though. Party hardy guys.

‘Five or ten years of confinement” is a fantasy. Most of us have barely been able to tolerate a few months of leisurely house arrest during the ”pandemic.”. This scheme works short term only.

Clearly an old middle silo.

Same here, am caught up through yesterday.

Did not read the book. Did not know there were TWO trains there, suspect that’s what the sequel will be about.

I’m seriously jaded on series myself. So many just die. Haven’t found much on lately, took a chance on this.

Less violent than the movie, but with more outre sub-plots.

I hate getting involved in series such as this and watch for one, two, even three series then it's discontinued without any legitimate ending.

In my opinion, any series purchased by either cable or networks should have an end of series final scheduled in the event it is not continued........z

Colony immediately comes to mind.........

Agreed.

My brother won’t watch a series until it ends. Smart guy.

To: Red Badger; All
Do they have a Homeowners Association (HOA), with CC&Rs and Bylaws?

How many members on the Board of Directors?

How many years in a Director's term of office?

Does the HOA have both an Operating & a Reserve fund set up properly?

Ya think the HOA will have a problem collecting homeowners' unpaid monthly assessment-fee debts?

How will the HOA enforce all its Rules & Regulations?

Does Kansas [or the local county] law prohibit a homeowner from renting his residential unit to a tenant for fewer than 28 consecutive calendar days unless the owner collects & remits to the county a "transient occupancy tax" on such short-term rentals?

Asking for a friend.
