They've already done a test run of this during the scamdemic.

Now it's the big starve coming.

I haven't noticed a big increase in the price of rice recently.

Everything is going up week by week, month by month.

The local farmers of sugar cane and grasses here are pulling their hair out. Things like a hydraulic hose for a bit of machinery might have cost 400 bucks 2 months ago, then 550 last month, and 620 now. Those costs all get passed on to the consumer.

It's going to get much much worse.

I know how it works. I'm just saying, based on my observation, the price of rice seems to have stabilized. Maybe it hasn't.

Scamdemic is a good  turn of phrase.
