My wife was flipping through news articles last night and informed me that several localities are going into a state of emergency due to the eclipse.

Have the men of the world now succumbed to the point of ignorance and unbridled superstitious folly that they now fear a two minute shadow that's been forecasted to take place well in advance? Are the people of the land so pathetic and callow that they must be guarded against harmless celestial events?

Of course they are. I remember the Covidiots. I find myself surprised ihere isn't an "eclipse glasses mandate" for the 72 hours around the event, forcing people to wear them at all times, even when indoors and not looking at the sun, even not during the eclipse. Only for it to be revealed that the glasses gave a false sense of security and half the ones distributed actually were ineffective at preventing blindness.

Rural communities are preparing for a large inrush of idiots from the city for the day. They are expecting people to stop on the highways. They are also expecting people to not bring food, fuel and supplies and expect a town of 100 to feed 10,000. It is like that Bahamas (Firefly)festival when they built no infrastructure before everyone showed up. Difference is no one is paying so they shouldn't expect anything.
