Or coming to a nation near you. Biden’s handlers know that Biden will sign anything put in front of him. So they are probably preparing the rationing paperwork now. Congress of course will not be consulted.
It will all be done for the children. And to fight climate change. And stuff.
Muy malo.

Looks like a sucker bet to me.
The problem will be cashing out your investments. What will you be able to buy with the currency? The people who actually take delivery might be better off.
And if the counterparties to those contracts go bankrupt and cannot deliver or the exchange is "temporarily closed to ensure market stability", your investments will be zeroed out.
The folks who truly don't have much of a conscience have already bought the politicians who will order "equitable distribution of supplies" as they order minions to confiscate stocks of rice, soybean, wheat, and other foods.
The distributors and recipients will be the friends of those same politicians.
What you have in your physical possession right now is all you can count on for an investment.

Democrats made sure to increase food stamp allocations ahead of time. They knew this was coming last year

Food stamp recipients will see their monthly payments go up in October thanks to a major update to the program, even though a special pandemic boost has now expired.
Benefits will jump 27% above pre-pandemic levels, on average – the largest increase in its history. The change stems from a revision of the Thrifty Food Plan, which determines the benefit amounts of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the formal name for food stamps.

Just before the election. Funny how that turned out. /sarc
Economic fallout from the war in Ukraine? More like economic fallout from them electing socialists to power.
Even Biden is warning of food shortages. There is a simple solution: suspend the rules to allow American farmers to plant and harvest millions of “set aside” acres that the USDA is now paying them not to plant.
Ping.

Right. Americans can do amazing things if the government would just get out of the way. Unfortunately, that will never happen. Getting out of the way means giving up control.
They must be doing socialism wrong, we’ll do it right, I’m sure.
Boy Howdy!
That was from 2021 - already happened
I had to get a product and everything was wiped out except some Mexican brand.
It was so weird to see a basic staple item wiped out.
Thanks for pointing that out. I overlooked it.
That was my first thought.
time to make bacon...
Similar thing is/has been happening here. “Limit 1 per customer” on plenty of items more and more over the last couple years.
“economic fallout from the war in Ukraine.”
Yeah, it’s the fault of the war in Ukraine. Not the socialist policies of the government of Spain.
If there weren’t any price controls, there’d be no shortages.
