Will China take down our water & electric?
Whether or not China actually takes Taiwan and shuts down US critical infrastructure, it's a good idea to get some water storage. While not everyone can afford a swimming pool, 5 gallon buckets work beautifully.
FBI Chief Warns of Chinese Hacking: FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that Chinese government-linked hackers have infiltrated critical US infrastructure, including municipal infrastructure, and are waiting for the “right moment to deal a devastating blow”.
Volt Typhoon Hacking Campaign: An ongoing Chinese hacking campaign, known as Volt Typhoon, has successfully gained access to numerous American companies in telecommunications, energy, water, and other critical sectors, including municipal infrastructure.
China’s Intent: China’s plan is to “land low blows against civilian infrastructure to try to induce panic”, according to Wray. This could include attacks on municipal infrastructure, such as water treatment plants, power grids, or transportation systems.
OSINT Defense Blog: The OSINT defense blog reported that Chinese missile forces near Taiwan were activated as part of exercises, which included mock missile strikes and joint operations, revealing details of Beijing’s plan to take over the island democracy.
US Disables Chinese Hacking Network: The US government launched an operation to fight a pervasive Chinese hacking operation that compromised thousands of internet-connected devices, which could have enabled China to disrupt important facilities in the Indo-Pacific region that support or service US military operations.
Cyberattack on Civilian Critical Infrastructures: A CSIS report highlighted the potential targets that China is likely to attack as part of a larger cyber operation against Taiwan, including municipal infrastructure, such as water treatment plants, power grids, and transportation systems.
Conclusion
Open Source Intel suggests that China has been involved in various cyberattacks and hacking operations targeting critical US infrastructure, including municipal infrastructure. The FBI Chief has warned of Chinese hacking, and the US government has launched an operation to fight a pervasive Chinese hacking operation. China’s intent is to disrupt civilian infrastructure to induce panic, and the US should be prepared for a combination of cyber and kinetic attacks on municipal infrastructure.

Disgruntled Dad - Send your kids to the trades
The economy sucks and I'm not entirely sure where to point my kids for a decent-paying and fulfilling career. College appears to no longer be an ok option but is now a terrible option, for the most part.
