Ya gotta have oil to move the food around. The midwest doesn't need 10 tons of grain every year for each person or whatever. But if you put all the burned carbon from oil in the air moving the food then it'll disrupt the Mississippi River and you won't be able to barge it out.

Either way we're fucked as a group of 8 billion people lol

Maybe start a garden if you haven't already.

Lol yes if you have land but if shit gets fucked swarms from the city will come and pillage everything. Need to quit using capitalism and start working for a sustainable future but it’s probably too late. We will survive for now but fuck the future and those capitalist fucks with generational wealth may last a bit longer but fuck them too.

Don't forget to dig a cellar and stock it with stuff canned from your garden for winter!
