Prophetic Words?

Cover of The Year of the Flood: A NovelFrom The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood:

Nobody gives a hoot,
Nobody gives a hoot,
And that us why we're down the chute,
Cause nobody gives a hoot!

For the Waterless Flood is coming, in which all buying and selling will cease, and we will find ourselves thrown back  upon our own resources...

Rereading this book for the ? (I really can't remember) time and these two points continue to stick out. With all going on in the world, and so little really caring and even trying to do something about it, the "Waterless Flood" may be just around the corner.  Consumerism done, factory farms done, self sufficiency mandatory.
