You asked what impact there would be -- which leaves a working power grid optional. Now, if we are going to assume no power, then that's a whole lot bigger and important than a simple internet collapse. If THAT happened, there would be no way to fuel up our cars, so, as quickly and fuel-efficiently as possible I would make my way to the nearest store, withdraw all the cash I could, and buy as many basic supplies as possible. And I would figure out a way to get my hands on a firearm and ammo as well. Then I would get back home and hunker down with my wife in our bunker.

You have to give the dude a bit of a break, this is the only place he dares call names!

He can't do it out in the real world with people standing in front of him.

I remember him in my prayers each night!

hahahah, well that would be everyone's problem, wouldn't it. I'm sure with the vast majority of this lot around here, the INSTANT power and internet were restored, they'd make it their first order of business to get to the RHP and collect their wins.


Wife: "Darling! Power and internet have been restored! Oh, thank you God!! Now the kids can leave this storm shelter and go out and play in the yard! And we can cook! We can eat decent food!! And finally there is running water... we can take a shower and we don't have to use the outhouse! OMG I never thought I would appreciate the little things like this! We can go turn on our heater in the house and relax, safe from the freezing temperatures! Look! My cellphone is charging!!! I can't wait to call Mum! We can talk to our family and friends again!!! Hooray!!!! And we can... we.... um ..... honey? ...... Are you listening to me?

Husband, hunched over in front of his laptop: "Not now, bitch! I've got skulls to collect! 😠 "

Now, that's an enjoyable read. Ever considered quitting your day job

to write best sellers (and, maybe, even the Great American Novel)?
