Quote from: RE on Oct 28, 2025, 10:38 AMEven during the Great Depression, virtually no one died of "starvation".  At least according to their death certificates.  People with nutritional defiencies just get sick more often and die of opportunistic diseases.  Kids are under weight and small for their age.  They can't concentrate and have problems learning.

Well, that makes perfect sense. Maybe WSWS was doing one of those overly dramatic type things because, you know, it is what the internet and MSM do.

RE

Concerned Americans, myself included, have already figured out what we are going to do. Normal American scumbags probably aren't even going to notice.
