Most of the internet that everyone in the world uses is constructed and maintained by companies that you don't give a single cent to, and who don't owe you anything if it goes down. This applies to a lot (maybe most?) things in the world. Say freight (trucks, trains, ships, etc) stops moving, for example. Within a month or two all the grocery stores would be empty. We'd have Mad Max-style convoys of cars driving around trying to find food and raid stores. It wasn't but a hundred or so years ago that most people survived on local food suppliers, and today almost none of our food is local.
