Power law distribution that becomes even more exaggerated. Billions and billions of poor people in borderline favelas spending every dime on food, housing, security, and distractions from misery. The Middle Ages all over again but with more technology and a few individuals relatively richer than Mansa Musa. When the food/water runs out on one or more continents from a precarious supply chain, expect massive, desperate migrations that haven't been seen in history perhaps. Perhaps rhyming with the Late Bronze Age collapse.
