If Øbola had thought of it, surely he would have campaigned on the “Cocoa prices will necessarily Skyrocket” theme.

Wait a minute.... the Ivory Coast has closed their borders with Liberia? Weren’t they told that could make matters worse?
Sad... we have more cases of Ebola in the U.S. than in the Ivory Coast.

Perhaps the only thing worth shedding blood for.

Well, I think they don’t want any of it coming into the Ivory Coast. Funny that such a small area of the world has all or most of the chocolate. Can’t grow it elsewhere? Not even in Hawaii?

“As short a time ago as February, the Ministry of Plenty had issued a promise (a ‘categorical pledge’ were the official words) that there would be no reduction of the chocolate ration during 1984.
“Actually, as Winston was aware, the chocolate ration was to be reduced from thirty grams to twenty at the end of the present week.
“All that was needed was to substitute for the original promise a warning that it would probably be necessary to reduce the ration at some time in April.”
~ G. Orwell, “1984” (or is it?)

Sure; this just reeks of trying to get Americans to care about Africa (I mean besides all of our tax dollars sent into the kleptocracies there)...
