He warned people it was going to get worse before it got any better, and he does seem to be on the right track. It remains to be seen whether or not people have enough of nasty medicine and overthrow the government again, blaming whoever they can catch for this mess. Likely, they'll be the wrong people.

I can't imagine prices that triple and then triple again, going back to eating just enough to keep one's stomach from hurting too much.

Shit.

Millei is going to have to address some of the problems the most vulnerable people are facing because of his tough medicine.
