    It doesn’t make sense even on a technical level. Cities are all near water and their fallout plumes would irradiate huge swaths of the earth to the east in addition to everything downstream.

    The infrastructure of civilization is all clustered around cities as well, so we’d lose access to the best spots to live.

    I got nothing but sympathy for you, thirty years ago that bit would have killed. Today everyone assumes you’re serious.
