I can't disagree with most of your premise, but how many people do you know personally and well, (think parents and relatives) that lived thru the depression of the 30's and the WWII rationing? I know a few and knew a few more than have passed. It wasn't pretty and left deep scars on most.
In today's society things won't play out as they did then. What you will have is total anarchy in the streets. There will be wholesale crime and murder. Anyone with anything valuable (especially food) will face the real fact that they may be killed in their homes for very little. I don't remember reading about any riots back then as we have had since the 60's.
Is that what you wish for? I know if we hit 30 % unemployment like they had, I'll be running for my life.
