If the poorest people are the most obese and continue to be well fed, I’m not sure any amount of whatever kind of gun will make any difference. Has there ever been some kind of impactful civil conflict where the poorest people are as comfortable and healthy as ours? I ask because you would probably know.

Perhaps not. What I think may be developing, however, is not a civil conflict launched by the poorest but by the middle class (which is shrinking and struggling and seems to be figuring out it is getting soaked). Can a middle class revolt work when it is simultaneously fighting the rich (the elites), the poor (who are the plantation hirelings of the elite) and the governmental structure (military, police, gov’t depts, etc.)?
