I am afraid what he says about an economy self correcting after the accumulation of wealth in too few through war, famine and revolution. True. There will be many cuts (just more inflation), and more wealth concentrated in those at the top. Anger will obviously grow. Food will become too expensive and so famine will result.
In 2023, 47.4 million people in the United States lived in food-insecure households, which is 1 in 8 households:
- 12.2 million adults lived in households with very low food security
- 7.2 million children lived in food-insecure households
- 841,000 children lived in households where one or more child experienced very low food security
Food insecurity is when people don't have enough to eat or don't know where their next meal will come from. It's a big problem in the United States, and it's on the rise:
- Hunger was consistently declining for a decade before it started rising again.
- In 2022, food insecurity was significantly higher than in 2021.
- Food insecurity is more common for people of color, especially Black families and single mother-led households.
- People in rural communities and the South are often more likely to lack access to enough food.
Many people turn to food assistance programs, such as food banks and food pantries, for help. In 2023, more than 50 million people turned to food assistance.
That's what baffles me about people voting for people who are actively trying to help the rich become richer, to the detriment of the rest of the people. (1% vs 99%) Haven't they seen through history that "trickle-down economics" is a sad myth? I am beginning to believe that it's not only Vlad and his army of hackers trying to divide people, but oligarchs of any nation happy to see us fighting amongst each other, as this will prevent any unified opposition to change things for the better for the "working class", the 99%.
So, I guess it will occur in order...first famine, then war, then revolution? Not sure, but the direction things are headed doesn't bode well.
