So you believe the ability to produce food, which we've historically produced too much of and let go to waste, is just going to poof into thin air because a select portion of the population doesn't have money flow.
>If the federal government rolled in with a heavy hand, we’re all stuck with whatever they think is best.
Yeah, like saving people's lives instead of entertaining some muppet's idea of what it means to be scientific.
Hint: If you're not listening to trained, professional scientists while attempting to sound scientific and curious, you're probably just performing an intellectual jerk off.
The ability to produce food or manufacturer essential items doesn't suddenly disappear. If you think money flow suddenly makes things disappear remove your brain worm.
You know what can disappear, become depleted, or stretched to thin? Trained medical personal. And money flow can't replenish that resource.
You can literally just go to the list of issues on github and sort by most commented and look at their dates to see they're still relevant issues. This the dumbest type of HN question. You could have discovered it yourself in < 1 minute but you apparently refuse or might just not be able to (of which I sincerely apologize).
Also your comment history should warrant a general silence. Fuck you and fuck dang and PG.
It was a question. You asked the question, and it can only be asked as a non-rhetorical question if it is predicated on ignorance and some a priori perspective.
>I live in the city
Are you talking about an "actual" city, or an urban sprawl?
>where would you shop for groceries or other domestic services?
What kind of weird question is this? "Downtowns" are _more_ accessible for people, not less. That's why they are more expensive by the foot.
Are you under the belief that there are no markets or services in cities? This seems like a perspective you can get from only living in the suburban non-sense that America has constructed.
