Historically it has been when a significant amount of the public cannot afford to feed themselves or their families. During the Great Depression there was a lot of land to be worked and to grow food, which allowed many to still survive despite the troubling economics of the time. Now, that’s not quite the case anymore, and you’ll have more people struggling to make ends meet. When people say “bread and circuses” most people focus on the “circuses” but the reality is the bread is the more important bit.
and I’m even more interested if you can guess how we get around the dilemma?
Historically, a lot of strife, violence, blood, and vengeance. Most will suffer and die. Dark times ahead.
Pessimism is almost always correct, though I’m curious to know your non-historical thoughts as well if you have any. I don’t trust history too much; “Only thing we’ve ever learned from history is that we never learn from history”
