Poll: Should Rick Trust Magna’s New Group?

I think we’ll have a lot of time before we get another super villain, aside from negans possible escape. I think we’re going to get to explore other aspects of rebuilding a society, that haven’t yet been explored. Some ideas I’d like to see explored:
– (major) we have communities working together to form a function society, if one community does not need what the other has to offer any more (like the hilltop has a blacksmith, well what if the kingdom brings in a group of survivors and one is a blacksmith. If smithing is hilltops primary contribution, and kingdom no longer needs it, will kingdom feel obligated to share its “cash-crop” or food or bullets or whatever their primary export is.) If they no longer feel obligated to contribute with a Smith of their own, how does that disrupt the balance of the communities. In a sense thus is what negan was doing but in a violent “I value my protecting skills over your food collecting skills”. If this is explored in a non violent, but diplomatic “we don’t want to participate anymore” how does rick and crew handle it? How does that change the dynamic? The leaders may remain amicable but if Alexandria is now running out of food because kingdom bows out of the agreement, citizens will get mad… Its an opportunity to explore the mechanics behind inter”national” (intercommunal?) trade.
– (minor) everybody is trading and just surviving together, at what point does one person value his/her goods/services over what others have to trade? What kind of currency or trade medium can be established. Basically communism vs. Capitalism (and I don’t mean in the whole 1950’s kill the Russians communism, I mean the survival of the community)
– (minor) exploring “can a zombie starve” more. I felt that we were getting to a point right before AOW, where the zombies were weaker… Two years later with a limited food supply, what happens?
– (major) the extinction of gasoline. How long is gasoline volatile for anyway? Are we nearing an age where there is no more gas within a feasible distance from the communities? And please don’t let genius Eugene solve global warming and an alternative fuel source post-Apocalyptically when the world can’t even do it now with labs. That would be a lame cop out. No more gas for cars starting with issue 127 is my hope. Maybe that’s why they’re on horses?
-Just a question. Where are they shitting? Do they have running water at the hilltop? Does Alexandria have a sewer system or just a septic tank? I get that Alexandria was built for the but the kingdom and the hilltop weren’t…

I think there’s a lot of places this story could explore before resorting to another super villain. Maybe the next “villain” will be another society of communities who just have a different opinion of killing roamers than rick and crew do and they get pissed and revolt. Maybe a wildfire destroys Alexandria. Hurricane. Tornado. I dont know. I just don’t want to see another super villain yet.

Edit: btw, sorry if there are any typos, I only have one hand. I try to catch them but.. Some slip through. I type from my phone now.

Wasn’t Negan’s cell in Rick basement? I cant remember but a cool theory you got there.
