Because that would be one of the last thing to sell. Went to the Fort Lewis commissary today the lines were long and it was out of things as well. They are pushing "Facts not Fear" but what is happening is… "FEAR not facts" |

They are pushing "Facts not Fear" but what is happening is…"FEAR not facts" I think that they're* pushing "profit not loss" but hey, you believe what you want to.
* I'll identify the mysterious "they" – capitalists.
