What America does today .....

Britain does tomorrow.

I certainly hope not in this case, but I suspect it will.

Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World | The New York Sun

If anyone had suggested the thought that food rationing would be taking place in the US a few years ago, or even last year, they would have been thought to have been seriously disturbed or have access to a stash of some “really good stuff”.

I believe that there is going to be a world food shortage that is going to significantly affect us, already the price of bread has rocketed in our local shops as has the price of pasta and other staples.

Maybe the much despised EU CAP will soon turn out to be seen as having been a very good investment for Europe to have been making after all.

The USA is a fantastic country, that is sadly run by morons at the moment. A bit like us and the rest of Europe in fact.

When we start addressing the worlds real issues, instead of bowing to the religious cult of MMGW, then we might be able to solve issues like this.

Until then things are going to get worse. Much worse.

At the moment? I'd say since 1913. Federal Reserve Act and all that. They just don't realise who really pulls their strings.

True, but that goes for ALL of us.
