    Well, it's 85 posts so far and nobody has figured out yet that it's because of China and European socialists that food prices are going through the roof all over the world. When trade is redistributed from the 'rich' to the 'poor' for political reasons, it messes up the incentive for people to work hard and get ahead in life - that kills domestic production/productivity and impoverishes everyone in such countries. When trade is deliberately imbalanced, such as Chinese currency manipulation or Eurosocialist price fixing on pharmaceuticals under US patents, countries sensible enough to reject socialism and other forms of sociological stupidity are impoverished by their 'trading partners', HOWEVER there's no subsequent productivity in the countries that sucked out the value - just squandering, hoarding and pandering for power. As a result, the US is going to starve and the rest of the world will ultimately join us unless there's a successful trade war to break it up. Major bummer...

      p.s. never try to trade with an unreformed communist and expect life to stay the same or improve (they don't like advancement, and only value the equality of poverty), and never try to negotiate a weapons-free peace as a non-Muslim with die-hard Muslim neighbors (they don't like the idea of sharing a planet with anyone that's not Muslim or a financial/physical slave of a Muslim). either attempt is doomed to fail, and both are equally likely to be fatal in the forseeable future.
