A total collapse of the power grid and the internet for , say , months and I would think most Australians would be dead.

I would like to know. Making phone calls. There are some phone booths propped up I’ve noticed.
We still have a landline phone.
Would my kids be we able to call me from a phone booth to my landline?
Note: only reason I have landline is because of adsl2, I have no nbn in my area…. We still left behind a bit….but maybe might be a blessing if I am still contactable by landline phone?

The exchange still needs power. The closest cell tower near me only has a back generator for about 12 hours.

I've done some work before in the local exchange, albeit about 5 years ago now, around the tail end of COVID, and it only had battery backup back then, so everything is reliant on local power.

The only way you could get around it would be a starlink with local solar, but that requires startlinks base services to remain operational.

Well, suicide now and avoid the rush.

Buy your burkas know before the patriarchals for real take over against our decadent and poof-laden west, which, the way the dopey sheilas are undermining and white-anting it - won't last for much longer unless we True People take back the asylums from the rat-bags, and then they'll begin to know reality in the hands of those who don't coddle women in every way.

We have constructed a society that is just too fragile.

Interesting that Russia and the USA are food and energy self sufficient.

We should be and we are very stupid that we are not.

In a globalised world we would lose all our technology very quickly.

Back to what faced governor Phillip in Sydney Cove.

Worse probably as he had a skilled workforce and he still needed resupply for decades.

I think having a Nuremberg type suicide pill 💊 is something to consider.

When you get stabbed in the belly by a mob who then eat your horse. You don't want to lie there for 5 days slowly dying of septicaemia

Put in a good word with the Boong to finish you off quick, dear.

Probably most of them would have lost the skills to survive as well.
