If Y2K is an 8 to 10, and every American has a years's supply of food, we all would sit home and do nothing to rebuild.

However the Polly's who have not prepared, they will have to scrounge for survival and MUST work in order to save themselves from starvation. The Polly's will be the ones who will help rebuild!

Freddie, You are truly one of the original thinkers of our time. Of course, many of the Pollies are pointy-haired manager types. Other than plugging the machines back in, I'm not sure what they will be able to "rebuild."

Polly die-off should begin along with 99% of the population within about 2 weeks and should be complete within 6 weeks. That leaves the rest of us with all unused resources - surely enough for several years.

I think Info-magic's de-evolving spiral is going to be a power dive on full afterburners. Get ready to punch out or ride it in.

freddie:

The pollyannas will work to pry open your back door, raid your garden, siphon your gasoline, break your windows, and steal your provisions.

Yup, those dear pollyannas will finally break a sweat and rebuild their muscles!

Are you ready?
