Farmers are unwilling to sell their cows at a loss.

Pretty soon they'll have no choice, as the local Big Man rolls up in his Benz with a platoon of soldiers and a fleet of trucks to haul the herds away.

I'm sure the suffering is dreadful, but we should not lift a finger to prevent the coming catastrophe. The worse for Zimbabwe, the better for the rest of the world. Nothing is more important to the well-being of the human race than snuffing out the last vestiges of Marxism, collectivism, and populism once and for all.

This will be an object lesson in economic laws that will be in the textbooks until the end of civilization.

Businesses will not be able to buy wholesale items for resale as the businesses will eventually run out of money.

Then the Big Man will put them in jail. Of course, the jail will not have food either...

Not so long as the Commies are running the schools.

The people are starving and there's nothing the U.S. can do to help them. Any aid sent would go directly to Mugabe and his henchmen.

The masses aren't able to revolt when they don't even have food. I don't know if there is an answer to this situation, either external or internal.

There aren't any herds...

Cooperation and profit, not existing goods, are wealth. The stock of existing goods in any country will not last a month without the real underlying basis. This government does not grok, and thinks it can print wealth when it prints money, and that nefarious enemies are the only thing stopping it from doing so. We have seen it all before a dozen times, and it ends in collectivization and slaughter.
