What if a super-rich super villain bought up global shipping capacity...


... and let most of it sit idle, "waiting to unload," while stock mysteriously continues to appear in the supply chains he owns?

I think we're on the cusp of a great conspiracy theory here!

Think about it...

What if some uber-capitalist got his tentacles so deep into the retail infrastructure that he had a near monopoly on the retail trade. Since the retail trade, at least beyond the grocery stores, is entirely dependant on throw-away junk manufactured in China, gaining control of the shipping lanes would allow him to cut off inventory to his rivals, thereby securing an even greater market share!

Genius!

Entirely evil, but genius!

And don't worry about the grocery angle. There's another evil genius is the biggest farmland owner in America now. I'm sure they'll be able to work something out.

As for you, get used to paying plenty more for substantially less.
