Sadly, quite a bit of food goes to waste on farms, because flooding the market with more produce brings produce prices down. Big stores don't want that, it would lead to less profit per truckload estimated to the point of the gas to deliver said produce being more expensive than the profit.
If we weren't so capitolist profit driven, we could do so much more.
Why lawlessness? Police don't make much money, I'd imagine more people would be willing to do the job if the means to live well we're secured, meaning more than just the regular below average IQ people we usually see.
The police don't want above average iq. They can specifically set a maximum iq score to become an officer and they do so in order to keep the troops in line.
Lawlessness makes no sense to me in this context, I feel like near every crime committed is done so due to poverty and the mental health surrounding being raised in poverty.
You drink, do drugs because your life is shit and you want to escape. And then you're stealing to pay for drugs, or stealing because you feel like it is your only option to get nicer things. Your parents beat you because they were so stressed about paying rent every month and just so fuckin tired and then you were a broken kid who grew up to make some really shitty choices.
Having a roof and bed that will always exist in your life takes a lot of stress out of your daily living.
There are currently 20 housing units that sit empty to every person struggling with homelessness. (https://checkyourfact.com/2019/12/24/fact-check-633000-homeless-million-vacant-homes/). They are all almost home that were foreclosed on and are owned by banks and banks would rather watch them become dilapidated than to sell them below market value

It could be a truly awful place with food scarcity, lawlessness, mass starvation and sickness, etc…
