[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 6027589, member: 725"] Honestly we don't know enough about what works and what doesn't. Electricity apparently doesn't work, you can't even generate it and nothing seems to hold a charge. Combustion engines don't work for some reason, not just those with electrical components. But gunpowder does work. What about lightning? What about nuclear reactions (someone mentioned those)? 15 years from 6-7 billion to 2 billion still seems a bit much, if what we saw in the latest episode is any indication, people started slaughtering each other for food. Which isn't exactly strange, I suspect that any large city would have that issue. Europe would be catastrophic, we don't produce enough to feed ourselves, but the US would also suffer greatly as you wouldn't have any machines working. Possibly third world countries would have the least issues regarding hunger, they are already used to it and survive (more or less). Most of the old would die as no new medicine is produced, pacemakers fail, infant mortality goes way up, etc. No filtered water... After basic needs have been met (water/food/roof) we also have many folks being killed in power struggles. Heck one of the problems is the current survivalists, not the nicest people in the first place, give them guns, food and no one to reel them in. Many, many dead people, especially if your not white. I also expect that criminal organizations would have a bigger role then we've seen till now, already ruthless and organized, large arsenal of weapons... I think that if in the west 10% survive the first couple of years, it is much. [/QUOTE]
