Suppose there’s any sort of difficulty, and wheat price on the global market rises 20%. People in affluent places/positions will grumble and pay 20% more for bread or pasta. Poor people will grumble and eat 20% less.
With 1st world economies going to shit, would this not have a trickle down effect (reaganomics style) to 3rd world countries? Resulting in more unstable countries and regions?

Canada and Europe are doing fine. Don’t know what you’re on about. Not all of us are circling the drain, after pulling the plug on ourselves.

Yes. Order tends to be more efficient than chaos. Waste leads to shortages leads to instability. We may well be at the top of the precipice with a long way down

It will turn nasty before the economic trickle down gets there
The food insecurity is already starting
Wars and dislocation have started in Africa
You just have to look for it because it won’t make the network news

No sarcasm in any of this. But you seemed informed any websites you can recommend so I can see the shit not on network news? Instead of always trying to find the bullshit in it?
