The federalism point is under-discussed in most coverage right now. Distributed jurisdictional power creates friction against centralized overreach in ways that are harder to replicate in more unitary systems. I've seen this play out in contiunity planning scenarios where local capabilty held when federal coordination failed. The technology piece compounds this, tho surveillance cuts both ways obviously.
Thanks for this. Appreciate your take on it - it also seems to me that this topic is getting under-talked-about; especially in media. I've seen it play out for sure in continuity & disaster scenarios and disasters - intriguing to hear you bring that up. And the point about compounding things. Thank you again - Vanessa

"Apocalyoptimist - thinks everything is going to hell but will somehow end up okay"
That's me!
The "somehow" is where all the good work and good trouble lives and where I will do what I can to ensure that the kidlings can have the "okay"!
