Darn, I’ll miss talking to Rajiv in Bangalore for tech support. Maybe his job can be re-onshored.

Probably the best thing that could happen to us is to lose the internet and cell phones... especially cell phones.

Social media is about the most destructive thing ever.

>>The economic impact of an internet disruption for a day in the United States is estimated to be over $7 billion.

So, Biden’s infrastructure bill will be the equivalent of a 500 day internet apocalypse.

Only when everyone gets the new internet protection download, then everything can get back to normal. Build back better. Isn’t that every dictators sales pitch?

We are being prepped for an EMP event. Not that the sun cant do this. I’ve often wondered if a hostile actor (including our own gubmint) would use EMP weapons and then blame it on a Carrington event. A few weeks of no power at the right time could kill hundreds of thousands of people and soften up areas for control by foreign adversaries bringing “humanitarian aid”. Give us your weapons, we will give you food water and other assistance.

They’ve been talking about this for years, which doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen. The effects of a severe solar storm could be comparable to an EMP attack, i.e., atomic bombs ignited in the atmosphere to wreak havoc on the electrical grid.

It depends whether you include Traitorjoe's inauguration as President.
