    That’s a good way to get the entire country in Washington DC at the exact same time. I work from home (ironically for the government), and I can’t do that without an internet connection.

      Would anyone even know how to schedule a flight or buy plane tickets without the Internet at this point?

      Never mind scheduling a mass protest.

        We could all just drive, and use paper maps if necessary. Even the old people would be pissed if they could get on Facebook suddenly.

        Honestly, the situation isn’t all that likely since the internet in the U.S. is fairly distributed. I read an article at one point that there isn’t just a single switch you could flip to do an internet blackout in the U.S. (at least I hope that’s true)
