The more the fragility of our supply lines and infrastructure moves from black elephant to reality, the more obvious it seems:
Nothing has to be disrupted. It's so far down the cascade, it will take care of itself. But life is therefore about to change drastically, fast, soon.

The practical rural skills, like most of the city skills, are similar to learn.

Yeah, man. I just wanna get to the point where I can credibly repair shit at home without much risk of making it worse, build simple furniture etc.
If I can get to that point, I'll at least not be a complete liability.
