When food prices double and gas goes to $10/gal, rural people who commute 60-80 miles a day round trip won't be able to afford to live rural and will have to move towards the cities. Multi-family dwellings will be needed. The extra money in those areas' economies will allow them to be like the cities with a camera on every corner, gunshot sound detectors. By that time we'll also have our digital IDs to spend our digital money.

Agenda 2030 is right around the corner. Rural land will go back to wild like they want it to.

If the globalists get their way.

Or they will stop working so far from home and figure out how to survive where they are, on a parallel economy.

I know people who fit that description. However, I believe as the SHTF, they will stay home and use their skills locally. One such person is a very talented Head Mechanic at a factory. Guy can fix anything, do all the trades, build anything and he has family and friends to help. He will do fine on his own land in the country. He & his wife know how to raise food and have lived rural their entire lives, except for a couple of long military stints.

I wonder if the corporations and the cities need the rural worker more than the rural worker needs them in today’s environment. One thing in the Before, when a wage from a city job with the COL in the country worked out for the employee. Now....maybe not so much.
