That makes sense. The hardware and system failures are as much if not more the RESULT of the EBT/Economic riots, as the reverse situation.(The cyber attack could be one initial trigger but would not have to be the only scenario to cause this cascading effect.)
In my mind, that raises the statistical odds of all this happening to a much higher level, than if we were just saying, this all might happen due to an EMP. That is probably a fairly low likelihood, but an economic disaster that causes riots, that causes people to leave their posts in various infrastructures, that causes further collapse, etc, etc is much more likely. Thanks for that explanation.
And I agree that putting it in a short story form will be more effective for getting the word out.
Even the economic disasaster might not necessarily lead to this societal collapse, if our society was still moral, self controlled and united. We got through the depression without turning into something like Nazi Germany because the soul of our country was still turned to God.
Not anymore, that’s why the outlook is so grim.
Point by point I was saying, “Exactly.”
You got it. Especially the last part. The America of the 1930s that got through the Great Depression without tearing itself apart no longer exists. Now kids murder for fun on full stomachs. Imagine when they are starving.
