It’s not holding society together; it’s bleeding it dry

That's what the oligarch's think. It won't be the first time the powerful have ignorantly destroyed themselves.

You think people depend on this machine?

Absolutely. It's in the math. A middle age existence could never support the number of people alive today. If Americans had to grow their own food, most would fail spectacularly. We depend profoundly on specialization and trade. We can't live as islands in this modern world.

And hunting? Spare me the tough-guy act.

There is nothing tough about hunting, and it's just what will be. You are ignorant trash who doesn't care who your ranting destroys.
