Comment on the vulnerability of the power grid and speculate on the potential consequences of a blackout.
The grid is a cobbled together nightmare. A lone squirrel took out power in nine states. That doesn't mean an EMP would do anything but pop some breakers.  We'd be back in full service in two weeks.  If some liberal city parasites that have spent the last decade attacking and belittling the rest of the entire country die off because the rest of the world decides to stop shipping them all their food, that would be a damn shame.
