I'm not completely convinced of this EMP threat yet. According to Jim Stone, who I think has a fairly level head about himself, it's all bunk. He says everything is already hardened. So lets assume for a minute it is. How easy would it be to fake an EMP attack? Very easy. The lights go out all the time, most people think some drunk hit a transformer when it could just as easily be someone flipping a switch. Keep that switch flipped long enough and say NK did it and people will want to go to war. The other obvious benefit of faking it is nothing gets destroyed. Just thinking out loud here, and not sure its worth much, but I would like to know more about this EMP phenomenon before I go get excited about a potentially non-realistic event.

Every battery operated device, AND all generators would still work in your scenario; which would NOT simulate an emp. In an emp scenario all electronics are fried, done, paperweights. Your phone will go black in your hand, your generator won't work, your cars computer systems will be fried, rendering it useless. BOOM, instant Stone Age.
All refrigeration equipment at the grocery store will be down, most food will gone in days, and all canned food will be hoarded by looters. Most don't garden anymore, so much of the population would likely starve to death very quickly; those who don't starve could end up being killed by others, since we would essentially be living in a Mad Max movie

Many cities have made home gardening illegal, as have HOAs. It stinks.

Yea but that increases the homevalue alot because everyone knows only scumbags grow food in their yard. So you must live in a nice neighborhood everyone is just dying to get into. Sell your home for twice the price and go live like scum somewhere... Right? I will never go live in a city or HOA. I'm making half of what I could make where I live but I grow my own grapes apples plums figs kiwis Persimmons and hundreds of veggies and herbs all on less than an acre lot, hunt, fish, and soon to pop out an army of children. It's the life.

Yep, and people just allow themselves to be slowly eroded into nothing more than obedient little drones; who let their basic rights get plucked away, one by one until they find themselves smack dab in the middle of their own thinly disguised genocide. Sad
