You are describing the current world, where politicians dissolve issues. There’s a saying in Europe that no minister of defense was ever nominated. Real ministers of war, when there is war, appoint themselves into position.

When there is a real problem, people act upon it (assuming society is functional - otherwise the country simply dies). That’s why there is no better training for war than war itself. Ukraine has already unrooted all of the peace & love & no armament folklore in France, and even turned a lot of ecologists into pro-nuclear voters.

So yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if guarantees of offline mode (with regular drills) were passed into law for electric cars and everything cloudy, including IntelliJ.
