I get most of my food from the grocery store, so it would not be good if that happened. I'd go as far to say that this happening would not be good for anyone, actually.

Yes, but later. It will be a slow collapse, likely spanning a decade.
As for worrying, I wouldn't worry about the stores not having food for another year or two at the very least, likely 5. But we should ALL be beginning to learn about growing, storing, and managing food/water/resources on the community level. That is going to be life and death for many people if the US is indeed set on plunging itself into its own quasi dark age.

I've never planted anything in my life (not counting kindergarten) And I wouldn't even begin to know how to start any sense of community in a state where it's still illegal to buy alcohol on Sundays
Fungiculture is easy, can be done indoors, and gives you a healthy luxury product that replaces meat. Being able to trade that is one of the things I'm banking on.
Interesting! I might have to look into that
It's some good shit. A cannabis grow tent or even just a humidity cover over a shelving unit is enough to provide the right conditions for them and have enough for at least family consumption with some surplus. I'd like to reach the scale where I can support a mutual aid thing like the Black Panther breakfasts.

Eh sell, but with even one or two colonies you have so many for such minuscule investment that I just give them away. It's like 10 cents to me and a potentially profound experience to them which I know they're getting from a safe source rather than someone cutting corners to extract more profit.

It's good for building social capital. With psilocybin you've got a thing that really helps some people and gives others a really good day. You can show genuine concern for someone's problems and intervene in a more meaningful way than the platitudes they get elsewhere. I use it as a springboard for Marxist humanism and talking about alienation and healthcare access. If it helps them and/or someone they care about, you've built a good foundation for a relationship. That will definitely be a regular contribution of mine to mutual aid projects if it becomes legal.

Yeaaah
Not trying to doom, but I don't see how global temps rising 2-3 C+ an endemic+ deteriorating US empire+ supply chain collapse ends well for anyone
I'm trying to caution my sister against having kids at the moment, but it's clear this shit isn't quite mainstream yet. Speaking from experience, kids who grew up in the suburbs are least equipped to deal with any type of societal disarray

You could always be the "hey it's Sunday and I have free booze" person.
Precarious workers with no acces to land ownership are going to be fucked.
