    For a long time, I think folks have been too lazy, distracted, and disengaged to revolt. But, when a critical mass of people go hungry for a week or two, that’s when it will ignite, I think. The Iran war driving up petroleum prices will make everything even more unaffordable.

      Nah, hungry people don’t revolt. Hungry people sell out their neighbor for leftovers from the rich man’s sandwich.

      Revolts come from those who are willing and able to miss a few paychecks.

          Yep. After missing nine meals, the average person would sell their mother into sex slavery for the chance to have the leftovers the rich leave behind. That’s why the rich try to keep you poor. People that aren’t desperate start getting ideas.
