“An EMP is the game changer. We build a house of cards and it WILL fall.”
Well it doesn’t have to fall, just like we don’t have to get conquered by another country. But yes, we’re not doing a whole bunch (or more precisely, we’re not doing jack) to protect against an attack...so yea, we’ll be in a hell of a mess when that happens.
How much would it cost to turn your entire home into a Faraday cage to protect all your cell phones, computers and other sensitive electronics from EMP or a solar storm?
Come to think of it, that was a dumb novice question. Without functioning cell towers, functioning cell phones would be fancy paperweights, anyhow.
Likewise, can’t do very much with a computer without internet, except for personal or family items.
