@RedDeerGuy1 What could we do? Shield our critical electronics, reduce our reliance on the electrical grid, maintain non-electric machines in good working order as back-ups, and harden supply lines and information distribution services against the sudden loss of modern conceniences. We could also begin working towards local community self-reliance by decentralizing services like health care, agriculture, power generation, and small scale manufacturing.
What will we do? None of that. It’s estimated that if the Carrington Event was to happen tomorrow, it would take upwards of 100 years to repair the current electrical grid—assuming it could be repaired at all when technological civilization collapses suddenly and without warning.
For nearly 20 years experts on every side of the political landscape were sounding alarm bells in the wake of SARS and MERS that we are unprepared for the next pandemic which they said was definitely, absolutely, 100% going to happen, and sooner rather than later. You see the result. Even as it’s happening people are protesting in the streets to end what few protections were scrambled to blunt the impact.
Just pray that it’s the next generation which has to drink the bitter dregs of prophecy and not you.
