The only reason that hadnt happened in the US is nobody in the middle class has missed any meals. Lots of empty shelves, but you can still find something to eat in the next aisle over (maybe not what you intended to shop for). If the upcoming/ongoing trucker strikes effect the supply train to the point people who never missed a meal in their lives go to bed hungry... politicians will not be able to walk the streets. That's when all the distractions and rhetoric fall short. Empty bellies.
