I was driving to the market the other day (see pic) to stock up on multiple 50 lb bags of rice. I heard there's going to be a shortage, and I want to have a stockpile. I don't really like rice, I just want it on hand for currency when the bottom drops out of the dollar.
I have a feeling everything will soon have their value determined in grains of rice. The transition from cash to rice will be especially hard for the stock market and prostitutes.
I don't have any solid numbers, so I'm going to make some up. I "heard" that at least half of the population of the world relies on rice. If not for sustenance, then for bartering or fuel for their rice burners (whatever that means). I'm uncertain how many bags of rice it takes to get a goat right now, but soon it will be how many goats to get one bag of rice.
Brace yourselves.
