6. Just wait till the roving gangs start.

I don't know if you have seen 'Logan'. but there is a scene in it where he and Professor X are running from the Reavers and they have a run in with a farmer and his family who are trying to coral some escaped horses. They are invited to join the family for dinner and a place to sleep for the night. While they are there, the lights and water start to mess up and the farmer has to go check the power plant, which is a short distance away from the house. While there, two trucks of dudes show up and try to intimidate the guy. They point out that 'they are the law out here'.

I expect something like this to start happening. Farmers being run out of the area so that larger farms can take over while the little guy has no options.

Hell, just wait till the Farming Guild starts up. Then, we get to slowly starve while they hold up distribution in the name of extortion. (I mean, since we city dwellers cannot grow food thanks to HOAs and other ordinances.)

Nothing better than out of control capitalism, eh? Especially in a dying culture.
