Weak people spend 10 dollars to gift titles about world leaders they dislike. The strong spend 10 dollars to gift titles telling everyone to play Deus Ex again

Where else was there tin?

How did the olden times people know where there was tin?

Would a Jesse Pinkman guy just walk into the senate and get the piss beaten out of him until he told them where the tin was?

That's what made the bronze age, the trade networks that allowed people to produce bronze. They broke down after the events described in the op. Interesting stuff.

I think the drive to make useful iron/steel wasn't there until the tin supply (to make bronze with) became unreliable.

A smart person. Iron working is more complicated than most people think. It's not just throw a red rock over some fire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrought_iron
