I understand it would be ugly. I just don’t buy into the ELE part.
OK that’s fine. If a big enough one does hit, you might want to btush ip on your stone chipping skills. There won’t be much left of civilization anywhere on earth, and the unlucky survivors will be in tramatic shock, having to learn the big lesson —— food does not grow in stores. The minor one -— starting a fire with no modern gizmos is harder than it looks.
Oh and BTW, those cute, cuddly, furry animals with sharp teeth are hungry... very hungry.
So even if it isn’t ELE, then it will be damned close. For just a few bucks more all that could have been avoided, but no one had the political will... Sic Transit Vir.
