   @ai6yr @DEDGirl @504DR I've lived poor and without electricity, and in bad neighborhoods too, and was (mostly) fine. I know how to go without. A lot of things people think they can't live without, I lived without and didn't miss it. Been a while tho. I'd miss a lot of things I have now that I didn't have then. It's my grandchildren I worry about.

     @504DR yep! I’ll add, people used to comforts should practice going without. If you’re used to AC & heat, and haven’t struggled much with having to learn how to get cool, or warm, or food, or water without HVAC, a fridge, electricity, start now is my advice. Honestly, just power outages & lack of cell phone make people lose their minds, so many won’t know what to do.
