It's funny because even though the post doesn't talk about food shortage, I knew exactly what it was talking about. Because it's coming, that's for sure. You don't shutdown the economy for a year and not end up with a loss in production. And it's not like they didn't close factories.....they definitely did.
They slaughtered much of America's cattle because there was no way to process them, and they didn't repopulate them because they didn't have the resources/room because they were already beyond capacity from being unable to slaughter, and the foreign market only has soo much to supply.
You see places having to completely remove certain items from their menus, like roast beef and a few others, because there simply isn't a big enough supply for it anymore. Part of it is the cost to be able to sell menu items at a predetermined price point, but that cost largely comes from a lack of supply.
I've already seen things that cost as little as $5 go up to $7. Might not sound like much until you realize it's a fucking 40% increase, which is essentially like saying your money is worth half of what it was, and that adds up across every item. So if 30K was worth 30K in 1995, and 30K was worth 15K in 2012, then 30K is worth 7K in 2021.
Of course the fact that people have been locked down for the last year has hidden some of the perspective of it, but more and more people are starting to realize that they're spending as much or more to stay home and live, than before the lockdowns when they could go out on the town and on vacations. Which mean even if the lockdowns ever ended, all they'll ever be able to barely afford is staying home in their worker drone boxes between shifts.
But honestly, stocking up on food isn't even a guarantee of survival at this point. When the people start starving, there will be a couple hundred million people roving around out there looking to take whatever they can from whoever they can, and unless people have a well defended and hidden cabin deep in the woods, people in even relatively small cities will find themselves ransacked.
This will go on for months. People may starve after a few weeks of not eating, but many people will find at least something to keep them going, which only prolongs the amount of people out there desperate for food, extending the time of danger before they starve to death. So one has to almost literally crawl under a rock with their supplies to avoid what happens when mass starvation sets in.
And that's just bare essentials. People want more than the bare essentials. They will kill for more than the bare essentials. They will kill for luxuries, because people are too used to luxuries and see them as necessities.
Yep. When talking with friends who see the writing on the wall they say their food stock is just to hold them over while they 'find' more. The break down of civilization is what will cull the herd more than any fema camps will.

It's almost like printing more money makes your money worth less. Who could have foreseen such a thing?!
