It all changes on the day they decide to go for Taiwan. Have spent much time finding out how this is envisaged by planners.

On that day, the parts for all the new imports won't be coming, the boat from Thailand won't be coming. We'll have sub 30 days of liquid fuels. It'll take time to get convoys set up from Texas through the Panamerica canal then Pearl, then Brissy. We'll still have a metric ***-ton of CNG. Lots of coal in Gippsland for coal to diesel. EV's from solar will work. As will E85 in petrol motors for those who've done the flex fuel conversion. Maybe some will further gone ahead and got moonshinin' skills.

Having the cars turned off will be the least of worries, it'll be full spectrum in multiple theatres and most of us will realise when AFF won't come up on the computer...

Australia being a cargo cult with so much imported, that bit won't be fun.

I was working remote out on the Nullarbor when Desert Storm began and only found out later when I got back and mentioned the GPS stopped working to pin the sites. It was nice to be so far away from the world when that happened.
