“Venezuelans are starving it is because they remain in the city waiting to be fed by their government instead of walking out to the country and starting to grow their own food.
Almost all of them live in ONE city and they sit there and starve.”
It would be much the same in the United States. There are already tens of millions of city people who are dependent upon the government for their food through the food stamp/EBT program. If those cards quit working, very few of those city folks will head to the country. That’s like a whole different scary world to them. They’ll remain in the cities waiting for more hand outs, and when they do not come, they’ll riot and loot. If some kind of supply system isn’t reinstated (What delivery truck driver would want to drive into an area of rioting mobs?) many of those who are starving will FINALLY start taking direct measures to feed themselves by resorting to cannibalism.
The US might be more culturally inclined to “go country.”
In an imbalance situation like this, not only are the cities starving, but the farms don’t have the market.
