Don't fall for the luddite falacy, people usually don't sit down and do nothing untill they starve to death.
Also don't brake your brain trying to outsmart the market, there is a reason why billions of brains are better at finding solutions one cannot think of.
IMO people findes outstanding and elegant solutions to this sort of problems, not withaut a fair share of pain in the process but still.
Also living will be cheaper (withaut accounting for cantillion effect and the fiat parasites leeching our wealth away) and that will also help.
