Food/water supply/heating/cooling/medicine supply/medical equipment.
Our tools, household items and clothes are built with planned obsolescence, can't be repaired by consumer and thus require frequent replacement.
Former CIA director estimates 2/3rd of US population will die in EMP [1], others 90% [2]. In US it would be so much worse because we used to comfortable consumer only life, and most wouldn't be able to adjust. Is that really that outlandish?
