I may be generally optimistic because I grew up in a place that regularly (once every few years) was without power for more than a week at a time and it wasn’t that bad as long as you were even barely prepared.
I guess I believe we can patch up what ever does break within weeks or months and our society (the last year highlights) can survive in very extreme conditions. Temporary loss of technological comforts isn’t so big, and I believe, temporary.
