    There will never be a modern day uprising.

    Uprisings of the past happened because people faced starvation and dying of poverty because they had nothing. Their options were … uprise … or die.

    As long as people have food, any amount of food (even if it’s not enough or bad quality) people won’t uprise.

    As long as everyone still has a sliver of hope to be able to eat and survive, even if it’s just a sliver, chances are they won’t uprise. Things have to get terribly worse and bleak before people will uprise.

    Otherwise, people will continue to live in squalor and put up with everything so long as they can eat something … anything.
