You remember a few years ago when some random town in North Carolina made the national news because some Proud Boys shot out the substation because there was a drag show at a local downtown theater?

I'm from there.

What I learned in those four days without refrigeration or air conditioning is that substations aren't bulletproof.

Yep, I'm from NC too. When shit gets real it's going to be normal to not have water, power, cellphones and internet because we sold all of our critical infrastructure to parasites who extort us but won't spend a dime on redundancy. People really underestimate how quickly and easily this country could be shut down when the critical boiling point is reached.
