I'm really peeved that the media has been talking about the global food shortage with little to no coverage of the real issue here: global warming. It's the droughts that have caused the rice shortages, dammit! Droughts that were caused by global warming! *sigh*
I stockpiled rice today. Dude, I'm brown, what did you expect? The prices have doubled over the last three months.

I will buy an asston of groceries, just as soon as I get paid. Yeah, right now there are some unfortunate circumstances intersecting to cause the shortage. Ethanol, global warming, and high gas prices are bad news for food growth and distribution.
Yes, and Costco and Sam's Club have already begun to ration. You can only purchase...I believe it's 2 bags at a time. Or maybe 4. In any case, there's a limit.
I don't buy rice, I also don't budget for food. This isn't a good thing, so I'm going to start actually tallying what I spend on food for a while.
The upside of oil prices for me, personally, is that it will probably translate to a nice raise and a nice bonus next year.
That doesn't mean I'm not still scared.
Urs... you're on the inside! Is there anything you can do to stick it to the man? Without fucking over the little people, of course. I suppose you don't have access to their offshore accounts, and hence cannot distribute their wealth & power to a greater good.
