These things are for sure whatโ€™s giving me anxiety as an American. Iโ€™m trying to start a community garden for those who live in apartments and cannot grow their own food. Otherwise I donโ€™t know what to do. It seems history teaches us revolting is the only way out of this but I donโ€™t see Americans actually doing that. They will not even strike.

That's a good thing you're doing there. If you're looking for advice, just contact me. My dad grew up on a farm and passed most of his knowledge to me, so I know hacks that most people don't.
