Excellent study...Just skimmed it but the part on the transportation Fleet (Truckers) striking should bring fear to everyone.
They literally are the link that stops society from constant anarchy.
No truckers? No supplies, food, meds, fuel, drugs, liquor, cigarettes, caffeine products etc.
Years ago, I heard a retired cop give a talk on the fact that he was scared of the Central Government collapsing in the US....Because about 30% of Americans are addicted to dependent on something.
Be it cigarettes, hard drugs, meds, caffeine, alcohol, porn, internet AND PSYCH MEDS.
He said all these people take or do all this stuff because they can't deal with reality without it.
When the drugs run out and little Timmy no longer has Paxil or his Methadone or his Meth is when things will get bad.
Some will just want to die and other will go manic crazy.
People will be angrier, more violent and have less fear of breaking the Social Contract.
There will be madness in people's eyes as they do terrible things.
Where "they" grow the food? Don't people grow food all over? "Rich" western countries have small farmers too. (It's fun sparring with you.) I don't think Mexicans are saints necessarily, extorting money from rich Gringos is not a new game to them. Good luck down there.
It's going to be scary NO DOUBT...But I'll be in Merida Yucatan by September...In a decently stocked place.
Meat and processed food will be expensive, but fruits and veggies won't...Nor will seafood.
The chaos will be in the rich Western Countries....US/Canda/Europe/NZ/Oz.
Most of those white countries depend on everyone else for their supper.
When transportation, fuel, fertilizer and food slowly collapses they'll have little to hold on to.
I'll be where they grow the food...Pure luck to be honest...By the Grace of God go I.
I may NOT make it...But I'm also hard to kill and in my career I took 6 people...So if I have to take a few more then I will.
Hard times make strong people.
One the supply chain busts - its over - permanently

When the shops go empty and people are hungry - they'll rip faces off
*Oh we grow plenty of food in the states no doubt, but how are you going to plant, sow, harvest all those many crops with no workers?
*Plus where I'm going the land is naturally fertile for any fruit or vegetable, I can grow my own...Here not so much.
*I'll be fine, I'm Mexican and fluent in Spanish...Plus it's Merida not Tijuana. =P
The soil will support no growth when the chemical fertilizers are not available. If you have an organic garden the hordes will come for you
No need they're mostly Tiny Polite Mayans...And yes the land is fertile...It's the friggen rainforest.
It's on the left side tip of the Peninsula...the state is about 90% rainforest.

Cross my fingers that it doesn't all crash down in the next 8 months...Just give me a few months to get my bearings and get things done..
We're all trying to land somewhere soft before the cities and big towns in the US get bad.
Even my liberal friends are trying to get out of Cali.
