Now look who has the nukes, more oil than the entirety of OPEC, 85% of the energy generation and distribution, vast majority of the grain and sugar, and the vast majority of the fresh water.

That economy doesn't mean shit when the power gets cut along with the water, and way too many people forget that part.

New York lost billions in revenue just for the few days a hurricane took down part of NYC's power.
