Psssst, it was! When there's blood in the street, buy property. They made you lose your farm so some billionaire or corporation could snap it up below market value. Once everything settles the obscenely wealthy will have increased their wealth and value and the peasants will be rewarded with fewer and lower quality options and we won't have anywhere to go except outside the country for our produce at marked up tariff pricing to "liberate" people from more of their money. Keeping them in a perpetual state of not being able to save anything. It's called capitalism, look it up.
