Interestingly ... a mate of mine who works up in Hong Kong said something similar when I briefed him on the CEP.... to which I responded -- that is exactly why they are putting us down before 'mad max' breaks out.
The veneer of civilization strips off quickly when we don't have our cushy fossil fuel powered lives and we are faced with trying to survive... the predator inside every one of us will emerge and he won't be pleasant.
No more - g'day Bob --- well g'day to you Jim... no more of that ... it's more like... bullet to the head of Bob.. take his food... rape his wife... and when the food runs out roast his wife and kids...
The Road (the book is more graphic) is a reasonable depiction of what this will look like ... but it does leave out the initial mayhem that results in most of the 8B slaughtering each other
It really is both kind and wise of our masters to exterminate us before the lights go out and the orgy of violence gets underway. If anyone thinks otherwise -- think of the most vile criminals you have ever seen - maybe a biker gang... maybe some really nasty individuals you have seen in a news program or a prison documentary.... that's the sort - and worse - that will be on the loose. And there will be no police or military to oppose them.
And it will be like that till you are dead... there will be no reset.
Oh and did I mention that there are 4000 spent fuel ponds that left unmanaged will boil and expose their toxic fuel - and that will spew poison into the air and water for literally centuries?
