Good goal dude!

I'm not sure I understand how labor markets are controlled by government, but I'm excited to learn your thoughts.

Personally I'm super curious to how the future society turns out considering so many more extreme weather events hitting various parts of the world... I really do think that not enough people are really putting effort into societal resilience.

I hear some people saying that leaving cities is the only solution, but I assume those people are just very loud. I'd be curious if there's any data to actually see if this is a thing that's happening.

Sort:  

Yeah its a stretch for government influence with labor but there's ineed influence in which I believe there is unintended consequences, Ill be sure to hash it out.

I agree, societal resilience seems to be lost due to the lack of need for it - currently. But it is still a skill that shouldn't be lost and we can learn from it and even improve on it.

In regards to leaving, I think it's easier to build a small-scale project that you can effectively lessen the need for outside resources by starting with a relatively blank canvas rather than retrofit it within current urban environments. Thought I think it is noble and its obvious there is not enough food being produced within the city to sustain them, and anything to help is a good thing.

That being said, I think both are working within what they have available because there are not more efficient systems in place. I believe in surrounding yourself with solutions.

I think maybe in the 1950s, 40% of fruit and vegetables in the US came from home gardens...? Obviously the population was much smaller then, but we've also got better growing technology so I don't think it's impossible to get back to those kinds of numbers.

Thats a really good point, and something I am going to add to my notes to follow up on, thank you!
