lmaoI ride around in a Faraday cage that's mounted on a Segway.
Sorry, man. If something like that happens, I'll just have to end up as one of the extras in a Roland Emmerich film.

I think China would be terrible because they have too many people and a similar amount of resources. I think in a war situation the US would control the market too.As far as untapped natural resources, probably. But in terms of operational resources, enterprise, and food supply, we're definitely top. Arguably, the best country to be in, in such a scenario, might be China just because they have comparable agricultural production and government control over the supply to control the market and prevent malfeasance. But they're extremely export-oriented, so I don't know how much of that is on-hand at any given period.
That is because it is.
JUDI DENCH: (As M) Set off a nuclear device in the upper atmosphere, creates a pulse, a radiation surge that destroys everything with an electronic circuit.
BRUMFIEL: That's from the James Bond film "GoldenEye." There is something Bond-like about a bomb that would create a power surge and fry all our modern gadgets. So I Skyped Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear weapons expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies and asked him, could North Korea really do this?
JEFFREY LEWIS: (Laughter).
BRUMFIEL: Take that as a no.
Well, he would finally be able to keep up.
China has such bad food shortages they make resin eggs to feed people, resin eggs....As far as untapped natural resources, probably.

Good thing the neighborhood had several days' worth of food.I remember the last time we had a bad storm and lost power for several days. The entire neighborhood started killing and eating each other within hours.
For everyone shitting on the 90% number, that is worst case scenario, and it isn't absurd.
You guys don't get it. Vehicles won't work either. Nothing with electronics in it will work.
5 years later America would most likely still be in blackout in the vast majority of the country.
Fucking Powell also covered up the My Lai massacre the piece of shit secured his career on the back of slaughtered women and children."My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence"
