shopping cart science

 It seems when people can't afford food
they no longer will go along to get along.
As an example the Egyptian governments where straight up repressive after they assassinated Nasser
and they all had one modifying tactic and which worked and actually right up until recently.

Hand out flat bread in the streets.

Will that happen here? Of course, and it already has as 43 million people are getting food supplements
as chits or brown bags.
Seniors as and example live on brown bags and food stamp type supplements.
Even the old "i was a soldier" types pick up the bags at the distribution centers.

You can usually tell who they are as they always have stick on flags draped on the car bumper
and of course the other given: Support the troops! And they don't mean Boy Scouts!

And yes, if it was actual support they would be saying: I'm a veteran and i support bring the troops home!
And finding them work!
And that's just as long as they don't get ahead me in the brown bag line.

But as we all know it's more about belonging, and go along to get along for these ole guys.
