Rice: Rise Of A Black Market?

It’s like World War II all over again, as major retailers across the U.S. begin rationing rice (yes, this is now officially a problem no longer limited to just Asian countries). Anecdotal reports are pouring in that consumers are hoarding grain stocks. Stores are enforcing insipid one-bag-a-customer rules. And at one Costco Warehouse in Mountain View, Calif., yesterday, shoppers could be heard hurling expletives as they burrowed through the rice sacks. Not to worry, we have a solution: Step 1: Get out the wedding listings for your area. Step 2: Crash weddings (bring a vacuum). Step 3: Suck up all thrown rice, laugh evilly and hock it on the street. This is America, baby. You cannot keep a rice-lover down. Read on for excellent an story on the surreal unfolding of events.
