<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 4055630, member: 27832&quot;]Power outages. Yeah. I&#039;m pretty sure we&#039;ve already reached the point of &quot;no power? can&#039;t shop&quot;. At least in a grocery store or big-box retailer, most items <i>don&#039;t have price tags</i> -- just barcodes that point to price and inventory entries in the company database. And besides, who&#039;s going to trust the cashiers to do math without a calculator?</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I know it&#039;s different in some small towns and rural areas. If it all falls down, we&#039;ll regret moving away from Amish country up north. <i>They</i> know how to hold things together without electricity, although even they grudgingly use it for some things now. (Have to be able to do business with the English, and can&#039;t do business with the English without a phone.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
