We are going to be the ones eating dogs and cats soon.
I get the point but damn I love Hamburger Helper.
They can’t even afford hamburger to throw in there so I know this cap. How do poor people look at a big box of noodles for $1 and a small box of noodles and seasoning for $2 and buy hberger helper with no hamburger?
So you know how in North Korea the government tells its citizens to forage for grass and stuff? How long before we see that in the States?

Nice assumption that people can afford the hamburger needed. Boxed mac and cheese is more likely, or if milk and butter is also too costly, ramen.
Must be with they started putting “try it with hot dogs” on the package.
Even though hotdogs by weight are more then ground beef (the people who make the food don't understand food apparently) and make a terrible add. Hamburger helper is not even a good price on its own, its like a $3 sidekick. Boxed mac and cheese can be found for about a $1 (sometimes) and can be made with just water and margarine (its not good but most of us have had to at some point). If you want to add hotdogs to a box of stuff its going to be the mac&cheese, not the helper. To make a box of helper in my area you are looking at $10 at best ($3 for the box, $5 for the meat and $2 for the milk), and it feeds maybe two people.
This is the let them eat cake moment, but much stupider. Beans and rice have almost doubled in price in the last few years here, that is an indicator of a crisis. This is not any way even a band aid, hamburger helper is just an easy meal for busy people who still want something hot, not in anyway cheap.
Can't You americans eat eggs, chicken or fish instead?
They also make Tuna Helper.
Meant to be used with canned fish.
Not everything is the same price everywhere in the world, and on top of that plenty of Americans do eat eggs, chicken, and fish. It's just that hamburger helper provides resources for a full meal at a good price, something must needed in a dying economy
There's no actual food shortage, Crushing people into poverty appears to be the objective. If You Want a Picture of the Future, Imagine a Boot Stamping on a Human Face – for Ever.
Those things cost money. Not a lot of people have those lying around this days

Those aren't any cheaper.

America is a rancid and failed country. 99% of their population don’t see the empire crashing before their eyes, but the rest of the world has noticed and China will come out as the dominant fiat currency for decades
What about the Euro? That's also a good contender for reserve currency. Maybe they won't be one but 3 or 4

I’d argue that about half of the population sees it. But most of them didn’t vote, because they were either disenfranchised or just didn’t think it would be this bad, this quickly. And they can’t afford to take time off of work to protest, because they’re all already living paycheck to paycheck.
