How long would society last after an unexpected persistent continental blackout?

[1srelluc]

7-14 days depending on weather and area.

California with no water, millions crammed into desert cities, and traffic.

New York had looting by nightfall with the big Northeast Blackout.....Pepperidge Farms remembers.

OR.........72 hours after the EBT cards stop working.

You are generous.
I give it 5 hours, tops.

Five minutes and then they realize life is not worth living anymore.

 

[gipper]

If that were to happen, its likely society degenerates into chaos very quickly. After a few weeks, things will calm down as millions die.

Bill Gates and friends will be happy as their dream of massive depopulation is achieved.

Arizona is about to be out of water.

The state enters an era of relentless decline. By 2060, according to several published projections, extreme heat and water scarcity could make Phoenix one of the continent's most uninhabitable places. It's not much of a reach to conclude that Arizona is at the intersection of two paths to the future.Mar 28, 2022

10% of the population would be dead fairly quick just from diabetes.

I would bet 90% are dead after three months.

Sure, as long as the machines are working and you can dial 911. But you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, you scare the sh*t out of them, no more rules. You'll see how primitive they can get.~Quote from the movie The Mist.

All I know is.....

The faster all the highways and routes of escape from the big cities are completely blocked, the better chance America has of a fast recovery.

HA!!!

YOU are extremely generous!!!
I give it 15-30 minutes.
You forget how many doomsday snowflakes there are in this country to encite the sheeples to stampede!!!

And oligarchy takeover.

It would likely take at least a few days for any realization to sink in with most of the sheep. The government isn't going to appraise the populace of the severity of the situation. It will focus its efforts on continuity of government. Not the continuity of the people. As such they will continue to promote "normalcy" for as long as they can in order to position themselves, and their resources into position. By the time the sheep have figured out that no help is coming; it will be much too late for the majority of them.

I remember hearing about New York blackouts almost every year when I was growing up.

As soon as the lights went out, the criminals had a field day looting.

Even with that........we're still here.

A catastrophic failure would be a planned attack though. All these utility systems have failure backups, backing up failure backups, backing up other failure backups.

What happened in Texas was PLANNED. It was also initiated by ABBOTT, which is another reason I hate the fukker.
The winter failure itself might have not been planned, but the failure of the system was. You cannot incorporate ALL systems into one, without having the support structure in place first. They knew this, and the greedmongers did it anyway. They don't give a shit, THEY have resources stored up at their private residential mansions.

What they don't realize, is that once the people realize this......they are going to be the first places raided and ransacked, if there ever IS a long term blackout.

Naw.

You cut off the "GIMME IT NOW" generation from instant gratification, they're gonna stampede and whine and throw tantrums.

Let's try it out. Many of you would become food for my pigs if you make it to my place.

The very wealthy likely have bug out locations far from their mansions and with lots of armed men to protect them. They know their mansions will be quickly ransacked.

I wouldn’t consume those pigs after that.

yeah, but conspiracy theorists and those types that keep tabs on what these oligarchs DO and where they LIVE and hideout, know all their "secrets".
Just a matter of telling people in need, where these places are.

And no matter how many guards they have, they will run out after being attacked so many times................then its all over for them.

 

[ozro]

You would have already been consumed by my pigs.

I give it as long as it would take for the zombies to realize that their Holy Glowing Rectangles really ARE broken.

Maybe 30 minutes.

Chaos.
