If we ever reach the point at which resources are few in number and difficult to obtain, it makes sense that the government, to prevent chaos, would strictly enforce resource allocation. We’d all get rations of energy, food, water, and supplies. At that point, we’d be truly dependent on the State for our survival. Could such a situation be manipulated to then put us to work in some fashion?

The best scenario I can imagine where we’ve already begun the ration process would be to put us all to work trying to fix our environment and make things more efficient. We’d be brought together working for a cause that is not only necessary and worthy, but good.

On the other hand, if things took a turn for the worse, we might end up going to thorough and complete War. A non-nuclear, dragged-out World War III? If things get bad enough…maybe.
