When COVID hit in 2019-20 and the price of beef also skyrocketed I saw a lot of new hunters in the woods and the bow shop asking for advice and tips. Well beef prices have never gone back down but most of those new hunters gave it up after the first season. Apparently many people like the idea of being food independent but the reality is somewhat less appealing. Quite a few of my neighbors bought chickens and started gardens back then too, they lasted about as long as the hunting did.If food prices continue to rise, the rubric through which we are having this conversation will be entirely reconfigured.
Sadly the majority of people even Americans will eat crickets and chemicals if it means they get to keep on sitting on the couch playing their games, watching porn, and buying crap they don't need to mask the dissatisfaction with meaningless lives. The powers that be know most people better than they know themselves. Many will also give up their public land and parks, wildlife and scenery if someone promises them a life of ease and comfort. This is the future.
