And how long will it take to make and give to not just 330 million people in our country but 6 BILLION people worldwide?

Wife and I went to a local village market in our neighborhood. Kind of an uppity market that always stocked with fancy baked goods, expensive prepared foods and high end liquor and all the usually stuff like a small grocery store - in fact they just tripled their size the past year. MANY of the shelves were bare. There was bread, milk and eggs and meat counter was still stocked well but NO toiletries, no paper products, no peanut butter, no pastas... Spooky. Hows that gonna work for months.
