        They had large amounts of nets available and were able to produce more because they were already a fishing culture.

        Local fishing culture in the US is nearly extinct, and while commercial fishing nets might still exist, those supply chains are controlled by the same billionaire oligarch caste that will be unleashing these drone swarms on us plebeians.

        Also, you’ll have a bunch of nimbys taking down nets as fast as you can put them up…

          I live in Southern Oregon and between here and NorCal we have robust fishing industries but even more importantly our farming communities are thriving, feeding and providing food, wine, beer and cannabis for the nation. Trellises are abundant and serve the same function, there’s no shortage of trellis and netting.

              It certainly is, we are fortunate to have an amazing environment, diverse ecosystems, supportive communities and state and local governments that actually care and nurture the health, economies and well being of our people.

              Cascadia could be our own nation and is an example of how it could/should be done.

          We’ll have drag performers form a bucket brigade of fishnet stockings to keep everyone safe.

        Right but we’re not talking about a war here, we’re talking about a dystopian society. Most people are just going about their business, trying to keep their heads down. Maybe you and your friends are engaged in guerrilla warfare, but then you’re living out in your trenches in the forest or the hills, not walking into town to grab a pizza slice.

          Businesses already invest a lot to protect their property. Locks, bars, fences, cameras, guards…

          If a simple net can actually add real security from a real threat, then we are gonna see anti-drone nets everywhere.
