I guess my point, which I totally did not clarify, is to not rely on large commercial growers, chain grocery stores, etc. We need to bring back the old Victory Gardens & grow a lot of our own food - even small spaces can produce a lot. For things you can’t grow in a garden (meat), people need to try to find local sources (parallel economy) of food other than the grocery store and as you said, it’s not easy.

We have room for chickens, but a marauding fox has knocked our 5 down to 1 laying hen. I just picked up 2 dozen eggs from two properties down so I have a non-store source. They are also raising rabbits & gardening. Fortunately, we have farmer’s markets fairly close by & many are doing ‘regenerative’ agriculture so they’re not dependent on fertilizer other than what the animals put down. I’ve also got 40+ lbs of venison in the freezer.

Anyway, as Jack Posobiec keeps saying “get OUT of the cities”. Not everyone can do it, but if possible, I think those outside of cities will fare better than those in cities. I suspect life is going to get really hard coming up in the not-so-distant future and desperately hard if you can’t feed yourself/family. Most folks I know are just oblivious to it all.

I hear you on the chicken front. My avowed enemies, raccoons and possums took mine out.

I do have a pasture to table meat supplier, and they are wonderful people, but in truth I only know of only one small Texas town (and it’s not mine) where the residents depend on each other, and their various skills, and resources to take care of each other, and supply each other with many things.

Unfortunately, they still have to rely on other places with hospitals, etc for many things.
