Which, by the way, is THE ENTIRE FICKING POINT OF THE RESERVES IN THE FIRST PLACE

for graceful demand destruction and rationing to take place before it runs out. Because if you don't do that everything breaks...

    Sure we ran out of corn, but then we realized we had all this seed corn for next season.

    The naysayers and sky is falling group told us “you can’t just eat your seed corn” but you should have seen the shocked look on those smarty pants faces when we easily turned the seed corn into breads and cakes and porridges.

    Poor fools seriously thought you couldn’t actually eat seed corn. Now we are having a lovely time with full bellies! They keep asking about what we will do when it comes time to plant, but that isn’t for months and we are hungry now.

    But that would require planning for the future. Those in charge of everything in the US haven't practiced that particular skill in years. Short term profits for the here and now > long term profits for the future. This is the inevitable result.

    I don't live in the US though and the same seems to be the case here. UK, I have seen absolutely no impact at all. No changes.

    Would you rather:

    📈, then 💥💣🧨📉📉📉📉 but next quarter?

    Or

    ⛔🛢️⛔📉, then 📈?

    This is the brainrot emoji logic going through the brains of our leaders.
