Show me a Supreme Court order stopping him, Sparky.
Hopefully one will come.
Otherwise, we will have departed completed from the concept of how this country was founded.
The President and Congress are supposed to have limited, not unlimited powers. Virtually none of the recent actions taken by either have any Constitutional basis.

Strawman false argument, rlchurch. It certainly helps to expose your avoidance of the topic at hand.
Nobody claimed the "end is near" on religious grounds.
Nobody here decried the development of antibiotics, pasteurization of milk, flouridation of water, commercial air travel, etc. .. as you would allege is a hysterical irrational cry of doom
What was cited was actual shrinking supply of needed consumer goods; ie, food production, and substantial increases in the costs of production and retail prices to consumers.
It's a fact that near food riots have happened in several countries due to the substantial increases in the cost of corn and rice.
It's a fact that if the Gov't encourages more corn production to meet a mandated ethanol supply, that other crops will be taken out of production in favor of the more valuable corn which will not be going into the food supply.
It's a fact that domestic soybeans have been taken out of production to favor corn, which has already adversely affected the soy oil availability for food as well as bio-diesel production.
It's a fact that if the Gov't places an additonal taxation burden upon the costs of energy, specifically electricity ... that the production, processing, storage, transportation, and distribution and retail sales costs will go up dramatically to the consumer. Placing that additional burden upon the energy costs will not increase production of needed goods, but stifle them.
And it's a fact that Safeway is not a producer of food stuffs, but a distributor and retailer of them. Food doesn't originate on the shelves of a Safeway store. That's a FACT, rlchurch ... which apparently your superior mind is unable to grasp.
Since it's readily apparent that you'd consider the "hillbilly" lifestyle to be well beneath your dignity (if not your abilities ...), I know you're not going to be raising food when the shortages become more apparent than they already are. I hope you're looking forward to your new "diet". I know what your degrees will be worth when the time comes, and how helpful your attitude will be to getting food.
How about a prediction. When will he shelves of Safeway be empty? LOL I love these Chicken Little stories.
You're making an awfully grand assumption that people will keep working their butts off to feed the likes of you.
Oh as opposed to your assertion that an entire nation of farmers is going to stop producing because some Internet troll say so. LOL You're really funny

Oh I'll be banned from the Safeway, because you say so? Cool, I hope you're the one at the door trying to enforce that.

Last time I checked the liberal states of California, New York, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, etc all produced plenty of agriculture. Then there's always imports. Moderator cut: No insults
Get up off the floor and say something that refutes what I said.
What's to say??? You hope for a Supreme Court decision, Moderator cut: No personal attacks or insults of what a group of people believed 200+ years ago.

Reason: Personal insult Reported by another poster
Hmmm. A lot of wheat farmers in my area are letting more of their fields over to CRP. Since all those city folks who seem to think they know best keeps jacking with the price of fuel, its more profitable to not farm. They will only plant if the price of wheat climbs.
I have cut my herd of cattle down enough to sustain me with enough money year to year.
I am not the only one. Cattle feed is expensive as is hay for winter feed.
So enjoy your jacked up prices at Safeway.

Sorry, paid for. DOH!!
As is my plane I inherited. So I don't feel guilty flying wherever I please emitting CO2 along the way.
I won't change my lifestyle one bit.
Feel free to keep trying, though.
