    Sucks that even though I’m not invested in anything, when this pops I won’t be able to buy food. Thanks a lot, wealth and “security” chasers.

      Isn’t this an interesting property of market economies?

      Software and silicon chip manufacturing has literally nothing to do with food production and yet a ‘disaster’ (I.E. going back to the status quo as of a few years ago) in that industry will affect your ability to eat. Nothing has happened to the farmers or their fields, or to the logistics system that moves food from one place to another, and yet somehow things suddenly can’t find their way from where they are produced to where they are needed.

      Remember, this is supposed to be the most efficient way to allocate resources.

      eyup. I mean considering it was more about not having housing before and now its about not having food we can see where things are going.
