That makes perfect sense. In an emergency cut off people’s access to informant to their friends and relatives.

Many devices at home will stop working. Medical home devices will stop transmitting to your doctors. I wonder if EV chargers will work?

GPS will die, so evacuations will be a mess. Who has maps these days?

I wonder if gas pumps will work.

It makes sense that information will be restricted during an "emergency" like another blatantly rigged election. Restricting information makes it easier for those in power to remain in power. Shutting down the Internet means people's only source of information will be corporate and government media or word of mouth.

The status of the underground tanks, and how full they are, is monitored over the Internet.

Resupply is coordinated through the Internet to the supplier, whose trucks, incidentally, get their fuel, from distribution set up the same way as your local gas station.

Fuel trucks are routed via the Internet to those locations that, according to the Internet, sensors show they need filling.

Many years ago, I had a teenage job at a gas station pumping gas for customers. I had to open the tanks every night after closing and write down how full/empty they were, on a log that the owner would view the next morning and call the supplier to order a shipment of new gas. The stick I used was a specially made long "yardstick" that they don't even make any longer.

Thanks to the “internet of things” very little of anything not “primitive “ will work.

Sharp sticks and flints, stock up.

They’re gonna eventually MUZZLE us all, one way or another.
