There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

In the US, the power grid is split in 3: East, West, and Texas. For all three to go down would probably mean terrorism or war, so the military response would be relatively quick. If we ignore that and restrict response to mean relief for citizens, we have a recent record of federal response times for a Texas crisis: 4 days. It took two days for Texas to declare an emergency and two more days for the federal government to declare one on the federal level and send additional help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Texas_power_crisis
They only need to get two then, Texas will take care of itself.
yeah but thats texas. if its a state that votes democrat then trump will tell them not to authorize a national emergency. So like if the west grid goes it will be declared a national emergency for some states but not for california.
Yep, that's the problem. That space here in the U.S. is that even completely non-political things are made instantly political by these fucks.
