Preparing for a possible shutdown of the internet
The internet is a very valuable source of information on a variety of topics. We live in a time in which we can get lots of useful information with just a single click.
However, everyone knows that nothing good lasts forever. There may come a time when the common man will no longer be able to access useful knowledge and information on the internet. We need to be prepared for such an event, by downloading and backing up very useful and important, priceless information that we can find on the internet.
Under which circumstances or scenarios could we lose access to the internet, in either a full or partial shutdown?
The most obvious scenario is the physical destruction of the internet infrastructure due to a total or even partial apocalyptic collapse of society, which leads to a loss of knowledge. In history we have for example the fall of the Roman Empire, a scenario that could be repeated with the United States. Because of societal breakdown, the internet goes down with it.
There could be large scale cyber attacks, for example as part of a war or terrorism, shutting down major servers and/or websites, either temporarily or even permanently. There could also be physical attacks on internet infrastructure, such as cutting undersea cables which would lead to loss of access to certain major servers and/or websites, perhaps indefinitely, particularly for those people who are residing outside of the geographic region of the server.
In my opinion, practical books and video tutorials, such as cook books, gardening, prepping, raising livestock, knowing useful vs poisonous wild plants, embroidery, repairing buildings, repairing cars, first aid, natural remedies, etc would be very useful in the event of a total or partial collapse of civilization, when you would need to know how to do things for yourself and your family, predominantly by yourself and your family. You would need to know how to practically apply that skill. These things have the most greatest potential to make an impact on our descendants for generations to come, and possibly even make a difference whether our lineage persists through the centuries in the future, or dies out.
Most scenarios resulting in a collapse of civilization, involve a loss of knowledge, which implies that later generations who live after the crisis, would still suffer from the lack of useful knowledge, being reduced to a much lower quality of life in general. Hence in such a Dark Ages scenario, those people, or those families who have preserved the ancient knowledge in one way or another, become more successful than others and gradually obtain more favorable positions for themselves and rise to the top. They have stood on the shoulders of their ancestors who made conscious efforts to preserve this knowledge.
We should start thinking about how to preserve and archive our knowledge for future generations, or just someone else's knowledge that we found interesting and possibly useful later in the future. Some, if not many of us, do not know how to do certain survival tasks from memory, we would have to look up online how to do it first. In the event of a total or partial internet shutdown, when we cannot find those websites any more, we would find ourselves in a bad position, if we do not know how to do these things from memory, and do not have any literature that we can learn from.
So I created a sub, which is called r InternetBackup, where we can post links to books, articles, and videos, that we can find useful for surviving the collapse, and we can download those materials from there to our computers for offline access. I intended this to be a central repository, if you will, of especially important or priceless materials that we would miss if the internet would have shutdown. My idea behind all this is crowdsourcing, that if we work together we can collect a much larger and comprehensive amount of useful knowledge, using much less time and effort. If many people would pitch in, then it would be easy for any one of us to download important medias with just a little effort, but a large "return on investment".

Generally speaking, conservative politicians favor loosening restrictions on the oil and gas industry.
Seems possible that gas prices at the pump are artificially inflated to ensure voters select oil/gas friendly politicians.
