Having good soldiers does not by itself typically make even a continental or regional superpower. They can shoot fine all they want, just like they did during the last civil war.

The Florida state government and I assume other southern states as well are incompetent as gently caress. Just absolute dog poo poo dumbass decisions all the time in a way that I can't even see being explained by some kind of corruption. A lot of southern local governments would collapse immediately after giving all the city treasury to some traveling grifter

mycomancy posted:Wait, why the gently caress are there long DC power lines running across the US? because it's better! we have good tech to convert between AC and DC now, and its more efficient to send DC. Plus you don't have to worry about matching the 60hz phase of the different networks.

DrSunshine posted:That's a good point. People are already fleeing cities for rural areas, either their home towns or their familiar vacation locations. Fleeing to cities in a crisis is literally unheard-of in human history except in the very specific case of entering a walled city ahead of an incoming army. With the advent of strategic bombing, that case no longer exists.

We'll see if that holds true once the utility companies stop maintaining lines out in the periphery just like PG&E did all this year, and the "state" (lol) does the same for roads and highways, and god knows what happens to the gas stations

Beowulfs_Ghost posted:Which is why you are more likely to see industry return to cities. Coming back to this part Manufacturing in the US has been leaving cities for decades. Modern factories have gigantic footprints, and taking advantage of the incredible cheapness of rural American land has been a central part of modern manufacturing's business strategy. US manufacturing will likely get a lot less complicated in a balk event (F35 parts are spread across 45 states + PR), but if you want to take advantage of what we've got, you spread out. Especially if the US logistics continue their truckward trend, which is quite possible if gas shortages don't happen. Dumb Lowtax posted:We'll see if that holds true once the utility companies stop maintaining lines out in the periphery just like PG&E did all this year, and the "state" (lol) does the same for roads and highways, and god knows what happens to the gas stations That hits cities worse. Like I know you want to fantasize about making your grandpa suffer or whatever, but maintaining or even intensifying a population density of like 10,000/km^2 (NYC's population density) requires a LOT of complex supply chains and infrastructure management every single day. Sanitation in particular - if that falls off schedule by even a few days, let alone a few weeks, a dense city becomes uninhabitable.

Tulip posted:
Most of that comes from none of the country's major metros meeting EPA ambient air quality standards, which then in turn mandates any new construction or expansion of plants in urban areas to use the best available air pollution mitigation technology possible. Moving your production to bumfuck county removes this need, as does balkanization turning some urban American areas into modern day maquiladora cities.
