"A purely economic failure wouldn’t bring about EBTmageddon as Uncle Sam can keep on printing dollars till he’s blue in the face."

No, sorry, that is just flat wrong. Pumping hyperinflated digital dollars into the EBT accounts will not work any better at keeping the food flowing from farms to cities than Weimar Germany or Zimbabwe printing billion dollar bills.

There are a dozen ways the EBT system can be brought down, and all of them will result in massive looting and social breakdown in under one week.

To put it differently that’s how Uncle Sam HAS been staving off economic failure. Diluting the problem away, which hasn’t produced visible hyperinflation yet because most of that funny money is getting sat upon by rich entities rather than being loosed to flow around.

Given an existing failure, it’s then too late to band-aid it.
