Cacao has been having a consistent price increase for years now. I think chocolate here has more than doubled.

That’s a luxury though. When basics get more expensive we’re fucked. That obviously won’t affect the capitalist ruling class though because they can afford it, and they’ll be able to offset their own costs by the rest of us paying more.

Food shortage is in the capitalists best interest, actually.

Capitalism is a death cult

Well yes, of course they want that.

You have to realize that the oligarchs are all like trump, they are in it for the rape. It’s the only thing that gives them pleasure in life. It is how they measure status in their community.

I doubt the heat is doing it intentional or with malice, so it's manslaughtery heat at best!
