    This is it. Even if it’s not quite starvation (the USA wastes 1/3 of its food output, we could lose 1/3 and still be okay with some rationing), massive supply shortages across the board will push people over the edge.

    Ironic how capitalists criticize socialist governments for making people wait for basics, yet we may end up in exactly the same position while the Epstein class continues to operate like bandits and hoard all the wealth.

      It took starving to get the French Revolution too. They even started eating horses before revolting.
