Decoupling all the nation's states and cities would have real benefit for the individual. So long as your city ain't decoupled with a nuke.
Imagine Floridains having their own currency and military and Tampa being a hub for Florida. Not Houston, Chicago, NYC, LA, etc.
It would be pretty awesome to see people come toghether in kinship and feeding their neighborhoods, teaching their neighbors to farm ��. Use rainbarrells. Would be super awesome to hang around what used to be the old school circle K bartering tru grit knowledge and home brews, playing our folk songs. No worries about terrorists and spies. Watching people care for their old folks instead of shoving them in a corporate farm on what little Medicare, medicaid subsidy they got.
I would probably go back to church. Not because I had to, because I would finally have something to offer the community and not be scoffed at over their chikfala value meal.
I can see a beautiful world and I truly believe people could find their way to it.
Yes, I second the iodine pills. And learn to make wine, Mead, alcohol. For medicine and safer drinking. Red wine helps with minor radiation sickness iirc.
I think with the major chemical plants out of the loop bees would start making a comeback. Cars would become community property and we'd all learn to scrap and mash them together into jalopys, cars put together etc.
Books would become epically valuable. I could become an IRL witchdoctor or shaman.
