best form of cash will be barter or the loud end of our carbine.
And get out the city fast.
More than a 100 years, try 1000. 100 years ago, people still knew what they were doing with out cars, planes, computers. today, 95% of the population doesnt know what to do with themselves when the power goes out and theres no internet or tv. 1500 years ago, the tribes of Europe were busy pillaging and forgetting everything the Romans had done. 1000 years ago, farming techniques were just being discovered, farming on a "large scale" that is, providing for more than just your own family, 700 years ago, large communities were forming cities, formal Governments were being shaped from the ashes of Europe. They dont know how to fend of themselves when they cant go to the grocery and get what they need. Look at New Orleans the days following Katrina. Imagine that on a COUNTRY scale.
Luckily for me, I farm, and we have equipment still from 60+ years ago. tractors without computers, or many electronics, a 1967 GMC 3/4 4x4, that as long as the battery has juice, starts.
We also have the 2nd largest Amish population in the country in my county, and the vast majority of them, while untrusting of us "modern folk", are more than willing to help with things of this nature.
An event like One Second After would set us back to the Middle Ages(Europe for the next 1000 years following the Fall of Rome). If you think Katrina was bad, this would be horrible.
