The first Mad Max was based on scarcity matters that have also demonstrated itself here in the States. (I remember the long lines and even-odd rationing during the 1970s OPEC cartel and gas crisis.)

The whole point of Mad Max was yes, we'll get kooky about our cars when scarcity hits and everyone goes spooky.

~~When~~ As the climate crisis starts chewing on the big agriculture machine that feeds us, Mad Max will serve as a good model for what's going to happen, only with fewer cars and more cannibalism.

Famine really sucks, and the international community are bastards for allowing shit to get bad in Gaza.
