Yes this, we all take 24/7 indoor plumbing for granted but if I'm reading purkiss's posts right, it doesn't look like SA has 24/7 reliable power or water anymore - and once the infrastructure starts to get shaky there is generally no way back if you have disenfranchised all the repairmen and deferred the maintenance for too long.

There's going to be a lot of "we don't need no fucking men" feminists shitting in the garden soon and eating their words if the predicted level of die off happens.

I wonder what it's like in Ukraine now that most of the healthy men between ages 17 and 60 have been vaporised by Russian arty - wonder how Ukrainian women are managing they don't have anyo men to change the lightbulbs for them.
