   @deprecated_ii The china war will be nuts. But, I think the more immediate issue will be water shortages.
   
   I only recently learned that almost everyone in my area drinks tap water.
   
   Sure, some people have their own wells. But, if the tap became undrinkable, lots of people would die. It is an even a more exposed target than grid power or the supply chain.

     yeah yeah china makes everything but I don't think this is as an acute a problem as all that
     
     we aren't going to starve, the US produces a large surplus of food. we have oil and gas, we have coal
     
     we're lacking manufacturing obviously but that's more a slow decay as stuff breaks and can't be replaced, from the individual civilian perspective
     
     there would be lots of shortages but maybe that's a good thing, shock people out of the mindset that they can always go buy what they need so money is all that matters
