Those supply chains will recover after this once-per-century risk is over (eg we find a vaccine). For now I'm still way better off as a professional who can work from home and order food online, than I would be as a subsistence farmer somewhere.
And remember, being subsistence farmers without long supply chains didn't help the native Americans when Europeans arrived with a new plague they weren't immune to.
- ksdale 7y agoI didn't say you should become a subsistence farmer. Mine is more of a general argument about the costs of specialization. And do you think the Native Americans were more or less specialized than the Europeans?
