People in those other countries are Americans. American's suck at sacrifice. In general, we are a nation of spoiled people used to getting their way without any real sacrifice. How many people in this country can grow any food at all? How many people in this country know how to purify water? I think this country will get hit hard and a lot of people are going to die because we aren't, in any way, ready for real problems. How many people are going to be willing to knuckle down and live at subsistence levels? I think that this country will dissolve in miliant chaos if things keep going the way they are. Do you have any idea how many miles something like water is pumped in the western states to simply keep farms. lawns and people going? Imagine the chaos if money to keep that going simply dries up.

CDN, I don't know where the hell you post from but I live smack dab in the middle of a large agricultural area. In fact a friend of mine in a large city who came to visit announced that I live in the middle of 'fucking nowhere.' I am just across the river from rural Missouri, just south of rural Southern Illinois, just north of rural Tennessee, rural Georgia and rural Alabama.
My people lived and farmed here long before irrigation became the way to do it. So, yes, I have a fucking clue, thank you very much.
Have YOU forgotten the years when inflation was double digit and many people even in urban areas started a new version of the 'victory garden?' Are you aware that gardening is the number one hobby of the baby boomers?
Now, I doubt that people who live in inner cities are much interested in the things you mention. And of course they will mirraud and spoil what they can. The rest of us just need to keep our powder dry!
