  • it will probably end in violence.*

I have my doubts about that. The recent covid pandemic showed us how quickly people can adapt to radical change. How the civilian populations in Europe dealt with Word War One & Two provides further examples.

People are just as likely to adapt surprisingly quickly ; "Keep Calm, and Carry on" the well know poster was from 1939 in Britain at the start of WW2.

Price-fixing rent means people starve for landlord greed
