Want to know some potential terrifying scenarios?

[intrepidity]

Just a couple of places my brain keeps going:

1) if California were to start burning again

2) if internet goes down, for any reason

3) if power grid is disrupted, for any reason

4) prisons. This is actually an area that I cannot imagine any good outcome for. The fact that it hasn't already become a massive problem is mystifying, and probably leading many to mistakenly believe it won't be a major catastrophe. It's a ticking time bomb, imho.

Thinking about those things actually makes me appreciate how things are, right now. But it could change in a moment. I'm not dwelling on them, but they keep popping above the surface, asking me to consider the "what ifs" then.

1. And then there are earthquakes

Such as the two today; one in Salt Lake City and one in Northern CA...Fortunately not too devastating, but boy oh boy is Mother Earth mad at us!

2. Oh yeah, earthquakes are def on my list nt

8. The trifecta

A Big One in California in September, right in the middle of a fire storm, with a hurricane raging in the Gulf Coast. With 25% unemployment.

1)mass infections because of govt inaction
2)Dem convention and our nominee is official
3) campaigns are in full swing amidst all the disruption
4)announcements that Biden has Covid19
5) campaign is in chaos, Biden very ill
6)Russia starts fucking with the electric grid
7)Biden in intensive care
8)riots
9)martial law
10)Russia intensified attacks, electrical, dams, etc
11)elections canceled

7. There was a prison expert on MSNBC within the last hour

that talked of releasing prisoners from incarceration.

If this goes on for 18 months (or more), society is going to get very frayed.

9. We are primed for a bad actor, either state or group, to sabotage one of our vital systems.

10. Things are never as good as they seem......

and never as bad as they appear.

11. Tornado Warnings across Texas tonight

[GReedDiamond]

13. I would add to that the homeless population...

...I've heard virtually nothing about how to deal with covid-19 in the homeless population.

As far as California burning, it's been raining a lot for quite some time, so hopefully that will help to prevent CA wildfires.

14. I've always got the next hurricane in the back of my mind.

I'm pretty sure it's PTSD from the last five I've been through. I used to love rain, now it stresses me out.
