As I was saying before, the American way of disaster as it is of war is to throw very large logistical resources at a problem, which is their strength, in this case to be admired, because no other society in world history has anything like it.
It’s also a source of their conspiracy—from weird ones like Chinese warfare, to the ‘Elon is helping!’—the idea that problems can *only* be met through application of high technology is very set in culture.
