<effects would be economically devastating> Good answer, BK. What concerns me most is that time will become too condensed, even for that to grimfully play out.

When I contemplate these various nost-reasonable senarios, such as yours, I also EVALUATE THEM AGAINST THE WHOLE CHAIN OF DOMINO cause-effect senarios, and against a FAR greater INSTANTANEOUS national and international mass communications (which our society has NEVER seen in a real crisis sitution), where any/all breakdowns, disruptions, ruptures, can/will occur at a BREATHTAKING speed, that only those totally on top of the issues, with adequate information, ready to act, will be the best able to survive. And, contemplate how instantaneous mass rioting is.

Please contemplate these additional factors, i.e., communications speed, and a swiftly/almost immediately occuring cascading effects-psychological, structural/physical/economic/political/mass public reaction, to your senario and see what you come up with on this issue. Just condense time in your senario.
