“I don’t live my life in fear of what may happen. That was my point.”
No it wasn’t. Your point was that you thought all of this was a hoax. EMPs are not - the sun, who knows.
As to living in fear. I’ve told my kids to throw in the towel and check out if we get a serious EMP hit - I don’t live in fear of it or even try to prepare for it - I just acknowledge that some of this is real.
That sounds a little drastic to me. Where there is life there is hope.
