Daisy, you’re right that we have to be ready to produce, and produce in excess of what we need so we can exchange the extra for what we cannot produce ourselves. That would make a survival or lest’s call it essential economy going.
What about those people with no practical skill and whose most valuable properties are a $1000 phone, the i-watch on their wrist, and a fancy car that cannot carry much more than a passenger? And don’t forget their entitled mentality. At the beginning, probably the government will take care of them; printing money at first, then feeding them from the reserves they have. But when all that will run out, what it will happen? Will the government come for the productive people and take away what they have? Will the government elites pull back in some compound and let us deal with them? Neither prospective is particularly appealing.
