Yes, I think we'll rebuild. If the CDC vax numbers are accurate, we'll have 30-40 million like-minded adults and their children. There will be no money for bullet trains in California. Most of the interstate highway system will be toast. Landslides will bury half the roads in Colorado and all the roads in Big Sur and no one will clear them.
Food will be local again. No California broccoli in Michigan in the middle of winter. No kiwi fruits. No sushi in Wyoming. There will be boxes of carrots, onions, cabbages, turnips. You'll be able to get live chickens and weird cuts at the local butcher.
Schools will be small and local and back to the basics. Cities will look like Detroit in the early 2000s, when you could buy a city block full of houses for $10 and all the artists moved in and started urban farming on the vacant lots.
No big box stores. Some guy will be running a hardware store in all decent-sized communities. You will be able to buy a single washer.
The only real political power will be the local sheriff. He'll be elected and he'll be somebody like Andy of Mayberry. We may know the president's name, but he won't matter to anybody.
Folk medicine will return. Drug stores will have tonics for catarrh and croup. Because processed foods will be gone, people will live longer and be healthier.
Don't know how they keep cars running. Maybe we'll have simpler cars and whatever Mexican mechanics can keep going with baling wire.
I still watch that show and the Waltons. If you pay attention.. They give away secrets about the cures they used back then. Also Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Glad to put a smile on your face!ЁЯШКЁЯЩП
IтАЩve also thought about the distribution of the shots and figured that conservatives were likely to be most тАЬhesitantтАЭ (read тАЬhells noтАЭ) on the shots. If the theory holds, we will rebuild better, and simpler. What I worry most about are the people who keep the lights on, the water running, and the trash collected.
Jo, I worry about the lights too. I've lived in a coal mining community and a gypsum mining community, and neither of them trusted freezers (they often had power outages that would last a week).
They trusted canning. When they got a deer in the fall, they would make canned deer stew with the wild mushrooms they'd collected from their favorite mushroom spots. They had root cellars too that they actually used.
Cool. Too bad our parents didn't learn from their parents. All these simple way of life aspects of life. We could have been taught and passed down to our children.
My alma mater, Georgia Tech, gave a тАЬsocial courageтАЭ award to Dr. Fauci last year. The diversity and inclusion nonsense is strong even at defense companies now. My former employerтАЩs message board was filled with people saying they wouldnтАЩt return to work until their toddlers were vaccinated. These people had advanced degrees in science and engineering. So, no, many engineers arenтАЩt conservative or skeptical anymore.
It will take many! Alot of us awake are approaching 60. I remember Fauci and the Aids debocle. I remember that video of him on TV. Infection is the best protection. I pray there are enough of us!!

Church socials will become popular again.
Sounds like Little House On The Praire! I like it! One can hope!!
You made me laugh! Ma, Pa & the organic farm on the empty golf course!

Very similar to ' The Omish'!

Yeah, everybody got too busy, too many hours at work.
Yes.
