    How liberating that must feel, that food is cheap and plentiful that you don’t have to worry about something that’s a human right. I joked about it up-arrow up there, but things are so dysfunctional in the imperial core that being food secure is a sign of having wealth, total peasant shit.

      Pretty much. My partner says I have a “great depression mentality” around food (stockpiling, etc) and it’s true…

        i grew up poor in the US and i literally learned how to grow calorie crops and have some in my backyard right now that could keep me fed for like a month if needed. My idea of luxury is having the money to replace my old broken shit that barely works but i keep using.

      Not China, but Japan felt this way to me too. I knew other Americans when I lived there who would insist that we eat at the Chilis on base, when we could go to just about any Japanese restaurant and get better food for half the price.
