Everything gets to the consumer via truck, everything. When the transportation industry goes down, we're done.

Yep, this is the biggest lynch-pin that hardly anyone ever talks about except survivalists and preppers, some economists who lean that way also make this observation. JIT inventory and literally driving everywhere in America makes it extremely fragile. While local economies exist, there's nowhere near enough resources in local communities to keep everyone surviving and fed in the event of a logistical collapse (i.e. trucking and gas/diesel).

During the great depression, communities were still primarily agrarian, there was nowhere near the dependence on oil that we have now and JIT inventory didn't exist at that point.

It's a horrific nightmare waiting to happen.

They're pretty far advaced on driverless trucks.  They'll keep moving stuff ... just fire all the truck drivers.

That's what they mean by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.  Another thing they're pushing for is for people not to own cars.  See, there's some good to that.  90% of the day your car sits in the garage.  But if you could just use an app to summon a car reliably whenever you needed one, that would be pretty convenient.  As with a lot of their tech, not bad per se, except that the agenda/intent here is that people lose the ability to move freely about wherever they please.  Then if you make an anti-sodomite blog post somewhere, your credit score will drop and No More Car for You.

Similarly, if people didn't have to work as much and could dedicate themselves to more wrothwhile endeavors, including prayer and studying the faith, etc. ... that's not a bad thing (if you can avoid getting physically lazy), but that's not what they have in mind for all this.
