Without the power grid, 90% are dead within 2 years.

What would you do if the power went out for an extended period? Are you prepared? Even a little bit? This story makes one do a whole lot of thinking. Read more @ Without the power grid, 90% are dead within 2 years.

I think you're being generous with the 2 year estimate

exactly

a week tops

Better not go homeless. You will only live for 1-2 more years.

The Amish would survive.

No they wouldn't.

The Amish would survive.

No they wouldn't.

Dude, they are almost entirely self sufficient, don't use electricity and have an extremely strong sense of community. Left alone, they would survive a heck of a lot longer than a bunch of inner city dependent dweebs who wouldn't know the difference between a corn sprout and a weed.

The problem is someone would take it all by force. They are Amish after all.

i would have to agree with that

they already have a strong barter system

and adapt pretty quickly

their downfall lies in their incest like behavior

90% dead. But....that would certainly wipe out 100% of all liberals.

Shit. Tough choice.

Wrong.

Scientists say that if we underwent a nuclear war cockroaches would be the only living things left.

That will happen to every group. The difference is the Amish would simply move elsewhere and keep on going.

True enough. Their numbers are small enough and their distrust of the outside world strong enough that their gene pool is somewhat limited.

I speak from fairly close experience. My grandfather left the Amish church as a young adult.

Just go outside and build a fire..

Or drive to Florida.

Oh, they're not backward, they're just reclusive and eschew things like electricity and pneumatic tires.

If you can get there. No electricity, no gas distribution. You might have to walk the last hundred miles or so.

 

[dannyboys]

It would be pretty ironic when the fucking 'man-bun' LIBs who sneer and turn up their noses when the words 'flyover country' are spoken ends up being the only place where they can go to survive.

And they are famous for living without technology. They are also unarmed. When people start to panic, the Amish will be overrun.

Imagine how this Obama brain trust would function if the grid where to go down… LOL

Every time I see this video I can't help but laugh.

It's a silly idea. There is no possible way the power grid could fail for a week let alone two years.

One thing I know for sure:

We'd be fucked.
