Utterly absurd

Warning: Spoilers
I feel asleep and Tubi auto play meant I woke up to this hysterical documentary which talked about how in the case of a major disaster the government had "secret bunkers" where "elites" would relocate in order to continue continuity of government (COG). It had me laughing out loud as it presented it like it's this huge conspiracy theory. Of course there's plans to ensure continuity of government! I would certainly hope we are planning for and have the ability to continue government during a wide range of disasters. And of course one strategy is to have COG capabilities spread around the country because different areas are prone to different disasters. So if one area is hit by a devastating hurricane, or whatever disaster, personnel in another part of the country can step in and take over.

I hate to break it to the filmmakers, but it's not some huge conspiracy. This info is readily available. All anyone needs to do is look at FEMA's website. Sure there's plans to make sure leaders such as cabinet members, Congress, and judges get relocated, (remember Jan 6?!) but relocation personnel also includes career civil servants that are hardly some "elite" group. This isn't some "shadow government," these are the elected officials and civil servants who serve the people every day.

I'm over here dying laughing at how absurd the 15 minutes I watched were.
