    Yeah, that’s what most people fail to grok. This summer, 2023, will be the coolest summer for the rest of your life. In frightfully few years, weather catastrophes will be as commonplace as gas station stickups, and all of the ‘modern conveniences’ will be doubtful at best.

    The internet will be frequently and increasingly unplugged, highways will buckle, flying will be only for oligarchs, hospitals will be amateur efforts, Hollywood will be in flames, pro baseball will be untenable, and wild hoards will roam what used to be the cities, searching for food.

    In this mix, it’s laughable to imagine there’ll be full, stable, well-trained staffing at nuclear power plants.

        The whole comment was me retyping something I’d texted to my oblivious Republican nephew a few days ago, and he’s a baseball fan. :)
