Sheer arrogance makes these people think they are immune.

Plenty of people are starving today even probably less than a mile away from anyone eating well.

The system does not serve everyone equally and ultimately we may all suffer one day.

People starving today aren't doing so because there's not enough food nor because people don't know how to grow it.

Today, yes. Tomorrow?

We're 3 days from no food at any time.
