Not certain about the mars trilogy but there is a collapsing space elevator in the foundation series (at least on the show, haven't read the books yet.)

I think that depends on how big the tether is tbh. It has to be usable as an elevator so it can't just be a thin cable. And your scenario is assuming that it would be cut down near the base, if it's damaged anywhere higher up anything below the cut will fall down to earth.
Ah thanks, I was a dingus and looked up the diameter instead of the circumference. Still doesn't really matter where you build it. No matter what it's fucking up a a good portion of the equator if it falls.
By the necessities of its design a space elevator has to reach geostationary orbit, which would make it tall enough to wrap around the planet twice if it fell. Wouldn't really matter if you built it on a west coast or not.
You just said that no one else is the problem except the people who voted for the Democrats. And you think that's an irrefutable case? You are delusional or intentionally trolling.
Moving isn't exactly cheap, some people really don't have that option
There are already users of these though? Meshtastic has plenty of nodes in the US afaik and is perfectly useable. It uses long range radios for communication so you only need a few people in a state to do it for it to work.
Dude, they just shot a woman in the face 4 times for driving NEAR them with literally no consequences. You think they won't just open fire on a group if one of them gets hit with pepper spray?
ICE has literally started going door to door in Minnesota looking for immigrants and activists. It's already starting, people need to be protecting their privacy now.
That's because the right and law enforcement are the same thing.

Why would you assume the ice isn't being squished/stretched as well?
