"...The report warned that the type of conditions spelled out by Pry could last a long time due to the difficulties fixing the electric grid, which many have testified would be fairly cheap to harden against an attack..."

I thought that 0's "$Trillion Dollar Infrastructure Scam" was getting into this. What happened?

If it is "fairly cheap" to get the grid hardened, somebody better get their azz in gear and get it done.

The so-called EMP Commission report said that the threat is real, jeopardizes “modern civilization,” and would set back living conditions to those last seen in the 1800s.

The 1800's isn't modern civilization?

Were they living in caves or something?

A Year? try decades. These Millennials won’t know how to function with out Tech equipment. They are so stupid about survival they’d have no stock pile of food, water, heirloom seeds, or know how to prep Faraday cages for some electronics. Much less know how to protect themselves from gangs that will take over.
