Also, the Mellenials moving into red states head right for the blue enclaves, like Austin, Texas or Orlando, Fla, or Nashville, Tenn, or Asheville, or Durham NC...

The rot then eats its way into suburbia of those growing blue cities...

"the more elegant name usually wins. Like Edison over Tesla?"

Edison's loss to Tesla had nothing to do with their names. Edison advocated DC electricity, Tesla wanted AC. AC allowed the use of transformers making it much more efficient to send the power over long distances compared with DC. There are too many losses in the power lines with DC power, considering the technology of the time. The use of solid state 'inverters' now makes DC more efficient, but they were not available at the time.

That’s exactly what happens. We(Florida) have two counties that screw up the entire state. Dade and Broward,liberal “something for nothing” enclaves where English is a second language and bars are on the windows of almost every house in every neighborhood tell who rules the night.

Well, to be fair to the book, the initiating event takes place in the late 50’s, with a Navy aviator shooting a missile at a Soviet ship in a Syrian harbor unloading munitions...

This leads to a world-wide all out thermonuclear war.

The protagonist is a small rural Florida town lawyer, whose brother is a full Colonel assigned to SAC at Offutt AFB. When they were kids they used to live near a black AME church where the preacher always gave sermons on the End Times, crying out “Alas, Babylon, in one hour your doom has come! Alas, alas Babylon!”

So, when things start to get real hairy, the Colonel sends his wife and kids to be with his Florida brother. He meets him at McCoy AFB (closed, was in Orlando) on the tarmack and tells him, “You know when we were kids, and old Preacher Jones used to shout Alas Babylon? Well that will be a signal from me if it goes tits up.”

So a few mornings later, he gets a telegram. It simply says, Alas Babylon. The brother goes to the bank, withdraws a couple of thousand, a ton of cash then, and buys all the canned coffee, whiskey, other canned goods (but no toilet paper!). The town thinks he’s crazy.

The next morning, the bombs start going off. Huge flashes from Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee, Tampa, etc. All around them.

The rest of the book is written from the perspective of the local inhabitants, as seen mostly by the younger brother, Randy. He has to hang a few desperadoes, and everyone has to learn the old ways.

My favorite was the ending. After a year or so, a US military helicopter hovers over the town. The people wave. The chopper lands. Men get out in hazmat suits with geiger counters. Randy tells them its safe, they take off the hoods.

The men explain that the provisional government is trying to find survivors in all the unirradiated locations and their small part of Florida was good.

Randy asks them who won the war.

The guy says, “Why we did! We clobbered ‘em! Not that it really matters, now...”

Seriously?

Dude... Just no.

If President Trump was not the rough, tough New Yorker that he is we’d all be bowing to President Hillary right now.

He is what he is.

And I want him to fight back EVERY day. We’ve had it with kindness. That gave us the Bushes, the Clintons, the Obamas.

The other day I heard stopping the Corona virus with a mask is like stopping mosquitoes with a chain link fence.

Not really accurate. The virus particle is 0.125 micrometers. A PM2.5 dust mask stops most 2.5 micrometer particles. But most cloth masks are less effective and leak all around the edges. More like a incomplete chain link fence that the deer just walk around. An N95 mask blocks about 95 percent of particles that are 0.3 microns in size or larger. Still not effective for particles even if properly fitted.

I think the issue is droplets and droplet sizes can be large. Droplets can have a million virus particles. A cheesy mask can prevent outgoing droplets in theory. With the gaps, it can't really stop them, but it can probably stop some spray from people who are talking.

Being here on FR for a long time gives you no entre into asking meaningless questions like that, silly boy.

"Seriously? Dude....." ----- save that crap for someone with a "Clinton" in their name.
