America was always great at handling epidemics and always will be. Why? Because of us, the journalists. We are awesome.

    Just got a really horrible flash of how the US is gonna deal with a big food shortage... I can imagine far right militias attacking and burning food aid from the UN to protect their freedoms.

        it's gonna be crazy when there's countries trying to take in refugees from the us and the government refusing to let them leave

        A lot of our food is exported for profit. If there's a depression, I'd expect that to ramp up.

      We would sooner buy food at low cost, or seize it at gunpoint, then allow aid to come here.

      We would accept larger and larger numbers of people starving to death without resistance. Some argument, maybe. Maybe the libs will put together a commission or something. But no resistance. You'll die hungry surrounded by thoughts and prayers.
