Good point; also, the violence of the French and Bolshevik revolutions was spurred by hunger - so we’ve basically bought off our unproductive people with food aplenty.
It’s hard to imagine any sort of sustained uprising under the conditions here in the US for sure. We have achieved something that has never happened before in all of recorded history, at least to my understanding: the poorest are also the fattest. It’s like something out of Gulliver’s Travels.
And yes, the various food programs are a big component, but not being on public assistance and just being poor is also a component when the cheapest food available is usually processed unhealthy food.
