Communications shutdown is not the same as power grid shutdown. Latest X22Reports predict it'll probably just be communications, not power.
Maybe get a HAM radio setup for communicating with family members / check regularly for Starlink WiFi if this happens.
Sometimes I wonder if all the censorship we endured prior to the takeover from Elon was the communications blackout. 🤷♀️
i had considered that too
Intriguing theory.
I have told my wife the same thing. I pray it is not a power outage and really just a cellphone/internet outage
I think it'll be a comms blackout. ATM and bank shutdown. Some people would chimp out fast without utilities. My thought is that the masses will have no internet or cell service. Every one will be forced to talk to their neighbors. Small governments will need to be figured out amongst neighborhoods of Americans for a week or so... it'll be like going on vacation to a resort where the theme is "becoming the citizen you should always have been while you selfishly let your country get turned to crap."
Why would small neighborhoods need to govern anything at all? Especially for something lasting only a week?
It would be an event. If all the consumer phone communications went away so that people are left without the ability to buy/sell or communicate as normal for say, 10 days, it would force people to talk to their neighbors and create a mini government amongst themselves for the duration. They would establish some degree of order. Some places would do better than others. As long as most utility services stayed on and some, like ham radio etc, stayed on most people would work together to get through it. America needs such an experience to fully drive home the responsibilities of citizenship.
Sounds like a version of the HOA to me.
Interesting because I was just gonna post this about a communications blackout for all health agencies.
