Wait until you see what happens when the average 4-day deep urban supply depth of stapels goes dry and they couldn’t buy anything anyway because their EBT cards don’t get charged..
Oh please. They will shut down everything else in the country before that happens.
We see a continuation of big agriculture with plunges in domestic manufacturing production coupled with east Asia making deals and shutting down the dollar. The food stamp program will continue long after most regulatory administrators and employees, public education administrators and employees, law enforcement employees, investors, social workers, other civil service employees, service and retail businesses dependent on government-paid customers, pensioners and others no longer receive large incomes derived from recirculating debt.
The property tax racket will cave in due to abandoned properties and price declines. Constituents prevailing in politics for now will be the ones to drive crime rates up and stage minor riots (see Greece, others) but will be helpless and living in poverty. It’s already started (deficits and layoffs of recent years), with much of the middle class fallen.
If the EBT cards “run out” before the food runs out in the stores, they’ll just steal it anyway.
When there’s absolutely no food to steal in the stores, that’s when there will be a lot of trouble.
