Mass chaos? Uprising? Incredible amounts of needless homicide and suicides. Religious catastrophizing. Panic toward the notion that we, as people, have lost most of the industrial skills we once had.

Oh, and goodbye to the astronauts on the space station, because there will be no way to resupply them or bring them home. Hello again to the slide rule, board games, letter writing, pay phones, and typewriters. We managed before, we'll manage again. -- Until the worldwide power grid fails,
