@screwopenborders If federal and state infrastructure is so weak that it can be cyber attacked TAKE IT OFF THE INTERNET! Why do we have power plants being controlled remotely? There is no need for that. Stop being lazy. If your going to shut down something shut down the connections to that critical infrustucture, not the whole internet! I take it the government lacks common sense.

@diaryofascholar Though its actually much more complicated. Simply considering what a Distributed DoS is makes that obvious.
