Sorry, I meant that subsistence agriculture would be the only possible lifestyle, not a chosen one.

Each of us are talking about a crash or collapse of completely different magnitude.

At the risk of sounding too preppy, I think societal collapse is absolutely possible due to what we might think is a fairly minor supply chain interruption.

Regardless, it's a moot point. No one is going to crash the economy so you can buy a house I'm sorry.

No one is going to crash the economy so you can buy a house I’m sorry.

I think you might have missed where I said this:

I say this as someone who is lucky enough to be able to have a mortgage: it’s inherently unfair that my fellow citizens have to miss out on that opportunity.

Oh well that's completely different then.

Your retarded suggestion to bring about societal collapse is still retarded.
