The Good Life
Food and energy, energy and food. And some humour. Then we're happy, basically. Here is an episode from the UK comedy show The Good Life, in which Tom and Barbara deal with self sufficiency by turning pig manure into methane gas, that can be used to produce elctricity. From their basement. Using a very dodgy machine. But it works. Happy 1970s when this kind of show could be made for the masses.
If we don't get food and energy (and humour)? Well, people tend to protest, complain, suffer. We really are rather spoiled. I think I prefer trying to do something about my situation, rather than blaming others. Not easy, but infinitely more fun.

Whenever I'm out in the garden, sorting out my vegetable beds, I always get the theme tune playing my head.
Interesting to contemplate what happened in the 70's and beyond that made such topics disappear and business as usual retaking the airwaves. Now we will wish we had all taken these topics to heart and spent the last 30 odd years making the transition to a post carbon (and post nuclear) world.
What we in the UK would call 'The Establishment' and that constant monster called 'Capitalism'.
