Everything that we thought would never happen is happening. It's time to think about things like this. I encourage you all to add to the list of these things that do not work when the power grid goes down in the comments. May God bless and I love you all.

Things that aren’t battery-powered that require power 🤷🏼‍♀️

@AbbySvenz but what will you do when the battery runs dead and your battery charger doesn't recharge the battery without power?

@AbbySvenz I do like your comment because it adds food to thought of things we need to think about during wartime. It's like the car may run on gasoline without electricity... But what will happen when your fuel tank runs empty? Enemies has bombed key points in the power grid to make it unusable.... The power grid has not worked in a couple of weeks. And you go to the fuel station to fill up your gas tank to find that they also do not have electricity. The electric motors that runs the fuel pump at the fuel station cannot pump fuel out of their tank into your tank.... And their electric cash registers do not work either so you cannot use a credit card or even cash for that matter to pay for it if the electric fuel pumps did work. And also many fuel stations do not have standby generators.

If there’s no power, that means cellular towers wouldn’t be working, anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️@IndianaJoes

@AbbySvenz that is also a good point. However most cell towers actually do have a standby generator as long as they can have fuel pumped to them. That is what that big creme colored metal box down at the base of the cell tower is, is a standby generator.
