.The cities will empty of working, legal, ambitious, family-oriented people, to be replaced by gangs of feral humans, preying on each other & anyone else unfortunate enough to come across them. Policing will be done by a private military-styled force, pay-as-you-go service.
The average person will not be able to afford any policing & the only weaponry available to defend yourself will be illegal. Shops will close, all of them, all remaining services will be 1st floor upwards, with ultra-heavy security on the ground floor.
Shopping will be done online & at vast, out-of-town, covered shopping markets, that will have massive security & will be prohibitively expensive. Anyone with any sense will have left large urban sprawls, for secure countryside estates, again, with private security, paid for collectively, by the residents of the estates. The poorest people will be annihilated, in the new age that is upon us.
Saturday, late afternoon, the remanants of a cup of coffee have gone cold, the fire is warm, making the room seem cosier than it would otherwise be. The rain is intermittent, but a downpour is sure to come. Got a stinker of a cold, so informed Deacon that unfortunately, I won't be attending service tomorrow.
Going to have a nice hot meal, of roast beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic & herbs, with a side of steamed savoy cabbage, done over the pan of pot's.
I think a hot bath and early bed, are definitely on the cards for tonight, I'll read until I can't, then I'll put out the light & go to sleep. I've got cocoa, so a big mug of steaming hot cocoa beteween exiting the bath & going to bed, will be a nice way to end the evening.
I hope you are well & remembering to live, as well as being the worker/fixer/boss/co-owner/whatever. We must be mindful of the welfare of others, at all times, at all times except when we need to put ourselves first, temporarily, when it's time to recharge ...
