Another way to word "produce prices doubling" is, a whole lot of Americans who are comfortable now are going to go hungry. This is the point at which, in most societies, social unrest accelerates. More protests, more crime, more violence.

And for those of us who aren’t making enough, things are going to be way harder. And hungrier. Everyone should be sending money to their local food bank. Not old food, but money that they can use to distribute the most produce and fresh goods.
And that’s just the first part of the equation. Next, farmers lose their land because no one can pick the crops and the vulture capitalists swoop in to buy them out at foreclosure sales for pennies on the dollar. American farmers are gonna learn about sharecropping the hard way.
I've been yelling about this since early spring - I'm surrounded by agriculture, and many of the fields never got planted this year. Those that did get planted, won't get harvested, processed, and shipped. Anyone who has a yard they're not growing food in yet had better get started while they can.
