So your collapse envisions the entire globe without electricity for 20 years?

Would love to see libs have to live without electricity. Us conservatives would be fine, but the libs would have an absolute meltdown without their stupid arse video games, Facebook, and Reddit

A pretty good Series of books starts with just this scenario. The first book is called "Going Home" by A. American
Posted on 6/18/24 at 8:08 am to udtiger
I've read it and agree it's eye opening. There are also two more books in the series that follow the main character and his situation as more time had passed after the initial event.
The story paints a very reasonable view of how things would likely play out as society collapsed following the loss of everything we take for granted. How life can change in a second from the spoiled existence we experience today to an existence of pure survival.

I mean Rog posted about a "post-apocalyptic rebuild".
If the US crashes, the world follows soon thereafter and conflicts emerge across the globe, so it's very possible there isn't that sort of infrastructure.
The direct war may not occur in those outer areas, but once global trade implodes, it's going to be chaos and conflict everywhere, trying to secure whatever goods/materials possible. That secondary conflict is where the apocalypse emerges from.

It absolutely does.
Capable people will do capable things.
You'll sit around waiting for them to help you. Youre not capable.

Which can be a thousand different possibilities.

Rog, you're used to surviving in Alaska with only primitive goods?
No tech, no firearms, wood-burning hearth, etc.?

We are programmed for survival, not necessarily leisure.

Youve developed a caricature of an ideal what this would look like.
It seems you may be highly influenced by Hollywood.

The premise of the book is that basically we're plunged into the 18th or 19th century tech wise, but with modern knowledge.
Of course you wouldnt survive. But millions of capable people would.
