They managed to build and launch ICBMs with '50s technology, I’m sure they could still scrape enough together to ruin everybody’s day

Comicbook villain territory

Yeah sure, but if you go to a military base in your country and release a swarm of drones, they’ll likely at least attempt to shoot them down, the base has its own wall of defence.

So my thoughts watching this is that it wasn’t exactly a quick attack. The drones were actually being used as quadcopters, manually controlled instead of seeking a target or coordinates, and they seem to be launched sequentially, likely because they’re piloted locally by a limited pool of operatives.

This means that there was no useful jamming going on, and I wonder if any base personnel even tried to shoot them down.

Explain

Explain how fewer young workers can produce enough in taxes to run the country.

Our knowledge and craftsmanship improves continuously. Fewer people are needed today to produce and administer things than were needed years ago, we just decided to produce more. That is not necessary.

Explain how a dwindling tax base will support the elderly.

What do the elderly need? Essentially medical assistance. That’s what we should focus on improving right now.

Explain how to avoid an economic collapse as fewer and fewer people require fewer and fewer goods and services.

We’ve learned that “the economy” is mostly disconnected from the well-being of the average person. It’s a matter of will and organization, really.

Eh, here in Italy we’ve elected literal fascists years ago and we haven’t gotten as much damage done as Trump managed in months, things move slower over here.

Hey so… Could you guys maybe take it a bit easier with the self destruction? We still got some preparations to make here in ol’ Europe…

I loved the Planetes manga, too bad it was so short
