This doesn’t belong here. But I will say this: Those suggesting the world would be largely unchanged in a post-coup USA fail to grasp the scope of the ramifications. No where on the planet would be safe/unchanged. Do not go there.
How does this not belong here if it could potentially have this big of an impact? This is exactly the type of thing hackers would be curious about. We want to know how a system would react to a change in the parameters and figure out if it is useful and how so. Why would we not be curious about something like this?
