State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

As a farmer I can tell you that meat is the only thing right now that is even close to breaking even- the farm gate thru checkout line is getting paid,not the producer ( referring to ACTUAL small farmers-NOT the big ones with reach around going on)
Let that sink in for a while
When the proliferation of production is gone you are controlled
Heads need to be pulled out of asses
Good luck with that, sports ball and vaca are on
Yes, getting closer to the land that nourishes you, doesn’t have to mean dirt under your fingernails. I buy 1/2 steer direct from the farmer, he handles the butchering and freezing, I hand him ~1800 dollars and drive away with 200 lbs of meat. Nobody in between taking a cut. THAT is being close to the ground that nourishes you, and I don’t need a barn and tractor.
Find a farmer co-op, buy a share, even if you don’t eat half of it. Support these people economically, you’re going to need them sooner than you think.
This. I buy same from two multigenerational family farms within 20 miles of my house. Produce, until my 6 raised beds start producing this summer, comes from local farms. I have neighbors that garden and have learned a lot from them as growing produce isn’t simple or self-evident. I live on a 6000 sq ft lot in the downtown neighborhood of a small town. 63 yo, just had a heart attack and have bad knees and if I can do it – you can. Tempus fugit bitches – get to it.
