How do buildings get built? Most of the buildings I have seen pictures of are reinforced concrete; are you entirely reliant on shipments of concrete and steel rebar for buildings? Or is it possible to get wood and bricks?
In Cuba, under the years of the embargo and especially during the "Special Period" in the 1990s after the Soviet Union fell, people everywhere became handymen and tinkerers, to the point where they keep repairing their own cars for decades, and they assemble their own electronics from scavenged parts.
