Old Testament. Real wrath of god type stuff. Fire and Brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. 40 years of darkness. Earthquakes. Volcanos. The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!
Alright, alright we get the picture.... but what if you're wrong?
I would lose my job which supports the family. Job is 100% remote a thousand miles from home office. Would also not run as much as I would get a local job and need to commute.
Productivity would decrease 71%.
We'd have to wait in lines again.
Postal shootings would return.
More accidents and less communication. Your elderly low vision parents would try to drive more often to see their grand kids rather than FaceTime them.
Productivity would skyrocket, while nastiness took a nose dive.

Oh, so wrong. Productivity would plummet (JIT depends on the 'Net) and we would experience probably the worst depression ever--beating out the one in the 1930s.
Health care, banking (personal and corporate), food production, energy production--it's hard for me to think of a vital area of human living that *wouldn't* take an enormous hit.
A noticeable percentage of people would die before the year was out. That would tend to up the nastiness level, I think.
