    We are talking billions dead. A new dark age. A total collapse of global civilization. No food, no water, no electricity.

    Go out this weekend with nothing but a tent and live in the forest. That’s what you’re about to experience.

    Ain’t no “new government” gonna spring up around you bro. Refugee camps have better conditions than where we’re headed.

      With respect. I didn’t say I would be safe. It is ridiculous to think that technology and infrastructure would just vanish. It’s more realistic to think some military force would take control of it and that there could be conflict for those fixed resources. Empty store shelves? Sure.

      A lack of basic modern amenities? Maybe short term.

      I would be more concerned about being able to prove valuable enough to access resources in this future fiction.

      That said. We aren’t going to the dark ages. We’re going into global instability. It’s not Mad Max bro, it’s Children of Man.

      It still sucks but it’s kinda dull too. People always approach these things with some strange romanticism.

      Millions of Americans are doing that right now (hunting season is upon us, which won’t be a thing is there is no government)
