13/ I'm not sure what "ipso facto" means in this context, but I am attempting to refute the "LOL, all the food comes from red states, therefore blues lose CivWar2" by pointing out that food is a global market and red states have no chokehold. https://twitter.com/MJimbo75/status/1337860146668572672 …

14/ This is a fine question, and one I've considered. I think that a brief disruption calls it into question, but does not alter global geopolitical fundamentals. If CivWar2 goes terribly, and Blues face huge threats, yes, USD has big big problems.https://twitter.com/geospagetti/status/1337860592590331904 …

20/ > CDLs take two months yeah, there's like ZERO chance that would change in a civil war where USG needed to feed itself also, like ZERO chance that food deliveries would get prioritized over, I dunno, boxes full of electronics from Amazon https://twitter.com/divinix_chi/status/1337861928660705285 …
