This is just a modern iteration of the book HOLES, and it takes place in a landfill instead of a dry lakebed.

One of the last true Mega fauna
Highly dependent on the degree to which it's contagious. But you're right, especially considering we're looking at one of the worst flu seasons in more than a decade currently. If all flu cases were 50% lethal that'd be 10-15 million deaths.
My gut instinct is that this sign is fake with the end goal of driving outraged calls to the real Lt gov., but who can even tell anymore?
It's really difficult to tell to what level and for what end they're trying to collapse the country. Is the goal just a grift? Is it to secure permanent corporate governance? Is it to collapse the US for techno feudalism? Is it to utterly annihilate the US on behalf of a foreign nation? All of the above by different individuals?
I swear they're going to argue the founders themselves misinterpreted the language of the constitution and the amendments are all invalid and no longer applicable.
Yes, and all the real data about that is on a separated computer and network system, with separate infrastructure. You require physical access to a terminal and getting even that is difficult. The entitlements on the system itself are very specific, very limited, and have multiple approval authorities for each person. The regular, external facing network and systems are mostly just for emails, memos, things like that. General business operations.
Super secret stuff only happens in SCIFs and vaults.
Biggest foreign intelligence success of all time
I will say that at least the main shit of consequence for the DOE is on a separate system which cannot be accessed externally.
The big event will be someone with regular human flu getting bird flu, giving the virus opportunities to swap DNA segments. If it gets the transmissibility of our standard influenza and the lethality of bird flu, it'll be a rough six months to a year before we have vaccines for it as it rips through our population.
Especially considering flu vaccines are made with eggs, and this disease is currently thoroughly decimating our egg producing livestock.
Between this and Gaza (and everything else), I really honestly don't think we have seen a person in all of human history who checks more boxes of being the antichrist.
Like fuck, he literally brings pestilence and disease with him.
I mean, I was taught that this was specifically an executive check on judicial power in school 25 something years ago.
But again that sort of implies that it "would only be used for good" by an executive against an out of control supreme court. It didn't really account for a fascist just telling the courts to go fuck themselves just because.
