gollark: Ah yes, indirectly then. Swap that for "in useful quantities" or "without expending tons of time/resources" if you like.
gollark: I didn't mention "money".
gollark: What?
gollark: (Sidenote: interestingly, apparently the development of farming actually led to significantly *worse* life for people for quite a long time, because it allowed much more population per land area, causing people to end up at a subsistence level and quite malnourished and stuff)
gollark: Modern supply chains are complex, and while we could not have those you would then lose out on stuff like microelectronics, medical things, and the economies of scale meaning you can have nice things cheaply.
