Without coffee, half the world ceases to function. So that half is the luxurious half.

A cup of coffee has a noticeable effect on my mood and motivation. I drink a cup in the morning whether I like it or not.

For a week or two people would be cranky and then everyone would adjust. Just like anyone who has ever quit caffeine has done.

People can adapt. Caffeine is not a necessity.

Without caffeine ..... the world would suffer a massive withdrawal .... then everyone would start acting with more clarity and common sense.
