Just got this email from Simon Black:
Now, I like Simon Black's site. In fact, I gave him my "Best Blog" Award winner for 2011 http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2012/01/the...-2011.html (Past winners include Rooshv and Roissy).
But it just so happens that I was in San Diego during the power outage. In fact, I was at physical therapy for my well documented back injury just after I lost my passport and returned from the topless beaches of Spain.
And I can tell you that it was anything but a situation where "everything descended into relative chaos".
In fact, people in San Diego were out in the streets and partying. BBQing together and sharing wine.
It was the nicest I had ever seen people act towards each other.
In fact, that night, I cooked a steak The G Manifesto Way with a fly Persian girl that came over and swooped her by candle light. It was pretty smooth.
However, it did dawn on me that if the power outage continued, I don't think people would act that way for too much longer.
I actually bought some gold and silver coins the next day.
More I think about it, maybe he is right.

Dear Reader,
At 3:09 PM on Thursday September 8, 2011, a densely populated area of the world suffered an unplanned power outage leaving 5 million people without electricity.
Banks closed early and ATM machines failed...
Schools, businesses and gas stations were shuttered...
Cars jammed the roadways and those with fragile health filled nearby hospitals...
Looting and burglaries were reported and several bodies of water were contaminated with sewage...
In other words, during those 24 hours without electricity, the underpinnings of normal society crumbled and everything descended into relative chaos.
You might expect something like this to happen in many undeveloped places across the world.
But this event didn't occur in an undeveloped area. It happened in the United States. In fact, it happened in San Diego County. An area that, according to Forbes, is home to some of the most expensive zip codes in the entire country.
And if hundreds and hundreds of years of history are any guide, the events in San Diego County are only a very small scale preview of a fast approaching Category 5 Economic Hurricane.
This is the one that cannot and will not be avoided.
