of extremist states (including all post-capitalism attempts at socialism) might, what? Remind us how fortunate we are and take this as a serious sign that "it" can happen even in our advanced, privileged nation when our systems are upset by political subversion intended to do just that?

Mr. Bill's not just pointing to a coincidence -- this unprecedented shortage is occurring during extreme national and international interruptions to very complex systems caused by Republican control of our governments. We now know they came to power with the specific intention of creating the kind of chaos and unrest that would facilitate a RW coup d'etat, including the use of pandemic disease. And food shortages.

We're still battling to keep 2016 from being the great lost battle the final outcome turned on. We shouldn't be pushing RW agitprop. Looking at our own supermarket shelves before reacting is one way of keeping feet on the ground. "My" market in Georgia is a Walmart that serves a lot of low-income people.
