I’ve been saying that food shortages are a tool used by the socialist in this country as a motivation for years. I think the end goal is really quite simple; that goal is revolution. It’s hard to vote in anything substantial in this country because the system is deadlocked via design. The issue with this is that the people in power right now want socialism so bad they can’t stand it. Historically people won’t commit to a revolution if they’re comfortable though. Insert economic hardship and food shortages and you now have people’s motivation. All you have to do from there is blame capitalism. This is one of the reasons I really don’t think it will matter if you have a farm in the country or an apartment in the city. The people will still come for you if you’re not with them. They will paint you as a “have” and you will be targeted to give to the “have nots”. Things are gonna get quite violent, and the institutions of power will be against us as well…. I hope I’m wrong, but keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel.
