Widening power shortages in China have halted production at numerous factories including many supplying Apple and Tesla, while some shops in the northeast operated by candlelight and malls shut early as the economic toll of the squeeze mounted.
How did china manage to get hit by power issues :sadness:
There won't be anything to loot. We have a just in time supply chain, so it's 2 weeks of food and consumables max before we're just done.
Same goes for power and shit, the hundreds/thousands of cities that still rely on coal power will just go dark suddenly if coal flow stops for a few days. When that happens, it reverberates through the entire grid.
America is literally on the verge of complete collapse. Not even necessarily "politically" or whatever. Like physically, the infrastructure necessary for modern society just no longer exists. Everything we're using is running up against the 2x engineering tolerances they were built to, the lifespans are being stretched by a factor of 2 as well. The scariest thing is that a huge amount of our infrastructure was built at the same time, so all that new deal/pre Reagan shit is coming due for changes.
Out where I'm at they've been furiously replacing bridges because they're all at their end of life. Only about half have been replaced so far. The highways that have become necessary for life in most of America are crumbling, there exists no housing or civilization by rail that could be salvaged except some major cities. Here they actually tore up a bunch of rail lately to make room for more kitch breweries and condos in the old industrial area.
I'm legitimately worried about how bad it's going to get...like this is one of those things where it could just snap one day and the cascading failures will be totally uncontrollabe.
I don't think you really are understanding what this means. The rich will be fine, they'll escape to another nation and leave the American workers to starve to death in the waste dump they created. Like the famine that will result from the American grid collapse will make all the fake ones they attributed to communists look like skipping lunch.
