Personally, I see this getting worse. But it had to happen. The food problem is nothing more than a manufactured crisis; the sooner people get together and work, the sooner we can become self-sufficient in the food sector.
About the petrol crisis: there's no getting around this, it'll be hell. But this is where the self-sufficiency in food comes in:
We spend millions on importing food we have been growing for generations in our own country.
Why?
Because for every ship that docks at our harbors: the politburo gets a commission. This gives them incentive to import essential goods (food) from abroad and to stifle local production. Which is exactly what happened with the organic fertilizer bullshit.
We paid China 4 mil USD for a shipment of organic fertilizer from Qungdao. Our scientists refused to pass it because it contained microbes, industrial waste (metal, asbestos), and human waste.
What did our government do? Send it back. China in response blacklisted one of our state-banks. Our government proceeded to grovel and bring the tanker back, paying 4 mil. This happened back and forth until it went out of the news cycle.
So back to the thing about self-sufficiency and oil. We don't make our own petrol, so we damn well need to import it.
If we become self-sufficient, we won't need to send money for imports of food. And as a result we can spend that on oil instead.
Short term, I'm not optimistic. Long term, I'm optimistic.
