It’s time for thinking people to plan for the same food situation in any modern complex society. Their failure point came first by socialist price controls etc, but our failure point is just an EBT system failure away.
Once the big supermarkets are looted, visibly on TV, it’ll get ugly everywhere fast. Then, with an impossible security situation in the cities, the external food conveyors will all stop, from farm to factory to distributers etc. Once the food conveyor stops for any reason, massive social ruptures will occur.
For the same reason, I shudder to think about SoCal after a major earthquake that breaks water mains etc. We have overbuilt our capacity to live on the local resources. The meta system has to run, or the anthill gets kicked pretty hard.

Many people are oblivious as to how dependent we are on the concept of a 'conveyor belt' that our technology has provided
to the continuation of civilization or our society, as we know it.
Imagine a shortage of potable water - ask Flint Mich. what that is like, and what the immediate response of the FED / State government has been .. crickets!
Imagine a failure of electricity - no communication, no refrigeration for foods, or medications, no functioning EBT electronic cards, no burglar alarms,
no operating computer controls of utilities, no water pumps or pumping of sewage to treatment plants even if operating.
Imagine a failure of gasoline/ diesel - no transportation of goods, services, personnel, employees, government employees,
or emergency services of fire protection, medical emergencies or even law enforcement.
Our society/civilization relies on this technological conveyor belt of goods and services ,
yet many of our neighbors, and even our own family members, fail to realize how dependent we are on its continuation.
Without this means of supply, and re-supply, the country will turn into less than a 'Bananna Republic' as is currently happening in Venezuela .
