It’ll be rough no doubt, but the Black Death didn’t break civilization, and it was a much more drastic population reduction. I do wonder how we will accomplish really big projects, such as properly decommissioning nuclear power facilities, with a reduced population. All of the models for licensing and re-licensing reactors assume population growth, and doing it wrong or neglecting it could lead to some really fucked up situations.
