Americans. How are you preparing for the inevitable food shortages in the next 12 months? When the people who harvest, transport, and process your food are gone. When the people who stock your grocery store shelves are gone. What will you eat then?

Because, according to the exact wording of my contract, I was required to work the hours necessary to complete the daily requirements of my role. It was supposed to mean I worked unpaid overtime. My manager had zero problem with my leaving because he could see the results.
