Well, lets take James last and game it out.
Say there is a economic crisis where the value of money goes out the window. I have a loaf of bread in the oven right now, and due to hyper-inflation the same loaf of bread in the store is going for $10,000.
Runs on not only the banks, but the grocery stores too. Looting? Food riots?
Does the prez declare martial law? NG in the streets, curfews? Price freezes on everything from bread, to milk to gas?
People from the city going out into the country to rob from farms? What does that look like? There is not enough LEO, NG troops, and even the formal military to patrol every road in the whole country. What is the response from the farmers? Be it people robbing them to government confiscation?
