That’s what people don’t seem to get: you can’t have extreme rich without having extreme poor. That’s a baked-in side effect of our current strain of capitalism.
No it isn’t. There’s nothing stopping us from, for example, growing our own crops and trading them to each other. And we can do that whether or not it’s legal.
Point in fact, triggering them into outlawing something so harmless would kind of be the point. Then it would force a confrontation they would lose because so many people would be negatively affected – especially the right wing which already does this in their rural communities.
🤔 Come to think of it, it might be one of the better ways to solve the problem than any other idea anyone has come up with…
You don’t have to grow your own crops. You could buy vegetables from a neighbor with a garden, or offer a service. The point is more about subverting the multinational conglomerate machines that drive our current economy

Yes, I will start subsisting on my own crops that I grow in a rented 1 bed apartment that I pay £1500 a month for

You actually do likely have enough space to have a vertical aeroponic garden, or at least a window box.
We need to change this reality to that same end
