I sent a email to an accountant friend who knows quite a bit about the stock market. She said in the recession in 2008 the market fell twenty five percent but people were still able to get food and nobody felt compelled to shoot each other over it. She said the feds have put a lot of money into the FX market the last few days and it is scary what's going on but she doubts the market falling will make food scarce, food scarcity she said is usually always weather driven.
