American Blackout

[realist]

This is totally wrong..........what's up with the two weeks......FEMA told me they would be here in three days so I am just going to sit here and wait for them...

What, you mean they are not coming??? Then that means the government lied to me! They would never do that, would they?


Very disappointed with the content. This was a one hour program at best. As for the prepper I agree it was believable. He had bunch of holes in his plan, but then when did he start? You always would like to have more time. If only...........

Finally watched this after the warnings it sucked...it does. However I cant believe Gemma is dating a guy like that. I mean really

That's about all I got out of it.

Pardon the necro-post, and it looks like I'm jumping on the bandwagon, but I'm not. I watched this travesty through the good offices of Youtube. It's hard to believe the Grosvenors, or whomever is running the National Geographic Society these days, allowed this damnfool thing to run under their label. Far too full of holes, far too optimistic.

Out here, east of the Kingdom of Nye, the casinos will run for a while, as they have their own inhouse generators. Whether they would stay open or not ... I couldn't rightly say. Damn well the real luxurious ones would shut down their high end stuff and get the big spender customers out safely.

Cash would be king for a bit. ATMs are probably designed to lock down when there is a power outage. Credit would be a laugh. The main body of folks that would profit from such an improbably optimistic fairytale as this would be, IMO, the prepper community, and not in bucks. Such a lightweight version of national SHTF would be a helluva dry run.

Such a load of ... cotton-candy as this was, I'd expect that just after power gets back on, either a back-to-business as Sheeple-normal, or a major swerve to more conservative living, for a short time anyway.

We could only HOPE that this light and frivolous brush with disaster was what we were gonna get. It isn't.
