All of your money is in the bank, or the market? Sorry bout that. Gas pumps? Not sure, but I think there's an electric component to those too.

In short, it would be a disaster. The internet and tv? We can do without those, but our reliance on the grid for our very lives is a serious matter.
It would be like The Walking Dead, without the zombies. Scavenging for food and water, having to protect yourself from bad people who want to take what you have. It would be a nightmare.

unless you happen to join up with the bad people, they may need my mid-level managerial experience to move their projects along

Did you read the fricken story, or do you just like to jerk yourself off by making fun of legitimate concerns?

Huh? Indeed. Hunkered down? Lmao....ummm..no. Being a Nevadan has nothing to do with anything in my post. I'm merely stating a fact. Sillier commentary, maybe intended as humor, maybe not, draws attention from people these days. Unpleasant people, who have the sense of humor of a rattlesnake.

At any rate, I'm far from dug in and waiting for some kind of fight. Lives to short.
