'''A:''' Yes, PBEM has been recruited by [[wikipedia:Illuminati|The Illuminati]] to use NET to cover up the JFK assassination and this is the first step. I've already started photoshopping NET hard hats on the grassy knoll and printing NET IDs that say "Clint Hill" on them. You found me out. But no seriously, I wrote a whole section answering this question, [https://volunteerpdx.net/index.php/2023-2024_NET_Program_Realignment#What_is_Driving_Realignment? please go back and read it]. Also, do you realize what happens if NETs don't approve these changes? ''I have less work to do.'' I'll bet you didn't expect "Creating more work for myself" as the breathtaking ulterior motive, did you? | '''A:''' Yes, PBEM has been recruited by [[wikipedia:Illuminati|The Illuminati]] to use NET to cover up the JFK assassination and this is the first step.

===== Q: But NETs will self deploy in response to a windstorm, like the Columbus Day Storm! ===== | ===== Q: But NETs <u>will</u> self deploy in response to a windstorm, like the Columbus Day Storm! ===== | ||
'''A:''' | '''A:''' Admittedly not impossible, but very unlikely. Hurricanes, for example, can and do knock out cell service (Hurricane Ian, with highest winds at 160 mph, positively murdered cell phone coverage...by comparison, high winds during the Columbus Day Storm were 170 mph near Portland). So yes, in that scenario, a self deployment is possible. But the storm would also need to sneak up on us, without warning. If we saw a storm like that coming (and we almost certainly would) we would prep teams for deployment and therefore it wouldn't be a self-deployment. | ||
So | So sure...not impossible, but very unlikely. I would prefer to focus on the widespread self deployment we would need in the event of a CSZ quake, because that would be several magnitudes more complicated. If we can handle the earthquake, we can handle a windstorm. | ||
