      The social programs would definitely be underfunded, but I would be fine, and our communities would continue to do fine without external money. I’m not worried about your money at all. I’m gradually going off grid, making my own utilities and food at home already.

      Actually, California produces a ton of the US’s fruits and vegetables (like, 90%+ of a lot of fruits). Just not cereal grains. I bet the costs could probably grow their own food if it came to that. Were there no trade between the states, the middle of the country would have plenty calorie-wise, but not the most varied of diets.
