    I’m still not clear how post 1950 governments, especially the united states, never made any effort at all in creating underground cities.

    The ONLY reason we haven’t paid for it, is because the USSR wasn’t actually dumb enough to start the nuclear war. Because there were times where we sure were.

    But in any event, if you put a city 2 miles underground, you can bomb the fuck out of the surface. It’s just grass.

    Obviously you can’t make the whole country underground, but you could make individual cities. Concentrated pockets of people, all safe from all bombs.

    Although, if we transitioned 100% to that model in the 1950s, covid in 2020 may have been 10000x worse.

    So, you take the good, you take the bad, you put them together, and what do you get? The facts of life. The facts of life.
