At the mercy from mother nature!

After working a few days outdoors doing pruning and clearing the weeds, I came to realise how good the modernites are having being sheltered from the weather and natural calamaties that has befallen to our forefathers before Oil age.
More people has been working indoors as rural folks flooded the streets paved with vehicles a century back.And since then we never look back even looking down our rural cousins as inferior and uncultured.Forgetting they’ve been supplying city folks ample food during pre car era.
Severe drought and heavy monsoon can sweep away many months of backbreaking work done by farmers and even now we’re still facing the same problems for peasants who cannot afford the good farm site and technology to combat it. How we going to employ the technology to increase food production without oil with our limited good arable land?
Many of us will just need to learn to cope with a lower standard of living unlike the conspicous consumerism we experienced supported by petro infrastructure that was not meant to last forever…sooner or later..the drip will be lesser and more difficult to drill.
