You Were Stupid. Will You Still Be Stupid in 2020?

[Rev. Rye]

If they were in the cities, they probably wouldn't even be much in the way of farms, would they?

There's only so much an indoor or rooftop garden can produce, and I highly doubt it's going to make people anything resembling a decent living, except maybe if they manage to jack up the prices and people become willing to pay extra for something for the novelty of like, I dunno, a fully formed ear of corn grown in some guy's basement. Or if a major crop failure forces prices so high that it becomes a viable option, but, if the French Revolution is any indication, things are likely to get really politically unstable before we reach that point.

If you live in a metropolitan area how close is the nearest farm to you?  Would you do a daily commute to it every day to do farm work for low pay?

I live in the Chicagoland area, and the nearest farm is probably a county away. No, I don’t think I’d like to do a commute that far every day even if I was being paid handsomely. Then again, it’s not like this is a problem that can be solved as easily as you seem to suggest. That was my whole fucking point, you bowl of monkeyspank.
