You do realize just how interconnected the world’s gotten, right? Most trade happens over telecommunications, nobody sends written letters or telegrams anymore and even phone calls are digital now. If you live far enough away from food production, you may in fact starve since until the barter economy gets efficient enough, nobody’s going to be bringing it to the grocery store near you… And you might not even own any physical goods valuable enough to trade for food.
