If there is no power outage for >3 days in a city or large town in the USA in 2025, this question will not resolve Yes or No. If there are many events, or many cities, it only takes one Panic to resolve Yes. Panic is defined as reported panic in the Media, where they buy all the gas nearby, or some shelves are empty at a large store like Walmart for an extended period of a week. Or some type of large scale violence or looting, like has happened in the past. So we're really betting on what the Media says. Not the reality of the locals who live there.
