Thank you !
That is exactly the point, although way-layed, through all the verbiage of the article.
There is no "prepper" philosophy or practice throughout the corporate grid mentality; there is no back up, or hardware reserve.
Every loss becomes an immediate crisis !
PREPPER PHILOSOPHY : ' one is none,..two is one,..three is two, etc., etc.'
Also Prepper's O.O.D.A. LOOP: Observe, Orient (use new information), Decide, Act !
" Or put another way, the OODA Loop is an explicit representation of the process that human beings
and organizations use to learn, grow, and thrive in a rapidly changing environment. "
If you don't act and adapt, you become extinct; (like Kodak, or Xerox )

About 15 years ago a large transformer (half-million-volt stepdown) that blew up in Phoenix (in the summertime).
The nearest replacement was somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
To get it to Phoenix, it had to be transported by barge to Los Angeles, then by heavy-lift truck to Phoenix.
The whole process took several weeks.
As I recall, there weren’t any blackouts, but the possibility was there.
Does China grow all the PCBs now, too, for transformers?
