77. That's understandable
but the issue is larger than individual desires and abilities. Adapting to post oil reality is a long process, could take generations, but also sudden and abrupt collapse cannot be excluded. Regardless of your personal desires it's good for all of us that people are getting ready and learning skills and attitudes required for sustainable way of living and planting forest gardens, and the more people do so the better. If everybody just keeps on believing that food comes from supermarkets and one day that illusion goes puff, then what follows won't be pretty, do you agree?

If Cuba is a good if not the model to follow for a post oil society - and why shouldn't it be? - the infant mortality and lifespan are there better than in US. Internet access in Cuba is not the best that one can hope for, though...

OP is about movement towards more agrarian and equal society and so is this post.
