I really doubt the ability of nearly everyone to deal with a serious disruption in the status quo. The last time the power went out, my neighbour asked me for a ride because he couldnt get his car out of his garage. I didnt give him one, but I did show him what the string is for that is attached to his garage door opener. A different time, a person mentioned the worst part of the power going out was their inability to now flush the toilet and it was starting to smell. I still look at that person, amazed that they can somehow manage to feed and clothe themselves everyday, so much dumb.
If its down to survival of the fittest, there are a lot of folks that just arent going to make it more than a few days. It might be because I will go after their stuff first, they wouldnt make it anyways, and theres no sense in wasting those resources.
