Further to my point above, it's actually a brilliant strategy really. Whomever thought of it should get a medal...right before their merciless beat-down!
Why is it brilliant? Because, one of the fastest ways to affect all segments of a population is one of two ways. Disease is one of them (and we all know how TPTB played that one!), and supply-chain disruptions are the other. Nothing gets people's attention faster than empty shelves at the Piggly Wiggly. When mom can't make junior shut up by shoving a Hot Pocket in his pie hole, all hell is gonna' break loose, and no cause, regardless of how noble, will be spared until equilibrium has been reestablished.
It has oft been said that... 'The Pen is mightier than the Sword'...but Bulwer-Lytton never could have never imagined the motivational power of a Hot Pocket and 120 seconds in the microwave oven, in 1839!
