Australia follows America so (most of) your issues are ours, although on a smaller scale. There's things unique to you and us but generally it's similar.
There's so many issues and not a lot of solutions (for various reasons) and that's a bit sad I think, that people seem disinclined to ask the tough questions and actually seek resolutions or even a way forward as a minimum.
Anyway, if the power went out there'd be a lot of unhappy people initially and then less because some would cease to be and then even less and then...I think that's when people you and I would come into our own. You know, prepared people.
