      Gaza is the testing grounds for what life is about to be like in the West. Starvation will be used as a weapon eventually, and who’s gonna stop them?

        How much does an ICE agent make?

        Does a government job pay well enough that they can afford their grocery bill doubling? I have a government job, and I’m thinking of leaving to start my own thing, because I can anticipate that we’re not going to be able to afford to eat for much longer. The selection of produce in stores is already getting worse.

          Okay but no, see, i can just pay more and it’ll be fine. Markets will save me.

          There’s no such thing as ‘there just isn’t any of that’.

            I see you’ve never been outside of America.

            It is possible for there to just not be something. It’s called no one grew it or ranched it or imported it because most people are priced out of buying it.

            But good luck with praying to the market, I’m sure that will go well.

              good luck praying to the market

              Don’t need luck. I got my ford F50000 fleshreaper (BLOOD FOR THE CAR GOD™) and a lift kit, plus a commute that takes me past not one but two elementary schools. The moloch markets’ll be plenty pleased with my sacrifice

              it’s called noone grew it or ranched it or imported it

              What’s that got to do with anything? I ain’t some DIY hippie type. I spend money to get what i need. Money makes stuff appear. Clearly you ain’t ever had any.
