Wow, that is a mindblower all right! HAPPY TICKYBOX DAY!!!
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I keep seeing people on social media talking about how there will be massive food shortages /food prices getting out of control and everyone should stock up on things now/plant gardens etc. And I'm trying to figure out what is realistic and what isn't.

I don't think that scenario is going to happen. Some prices will go up but Trump's not going to win a war of attrition with Iran. He's going to quit and then say we won and accomplished great things.
TACO 4evah.

Yeah, but timing is an issue. We get a big chunk of our fertilizer through the Straits of Hormuz, and crops need it sooner than later. I expect the US will get hit with higher food prices, but people in resource limited countries may see some food problems.
