    Okay this one made me audibly say "no fucking way this country is actually doomed"

    Anything that actually disrupts the logistics chain will make the worst myths of the Soviet famines look like little whoopssies where you forgot to buy a fresh bag of flour during your last grocery run

      Iirc we used to have an actual grain reserve, but in the last decade or two it was liquidated and instead we have a fund set aside for purchasing grain in a similar emergency. So we financialized the grain reserve
