>>14924783commodities (like mortgages used to do) have a face value that is representative of their actual production cost. But, since they've been started to be traded as stonks, their price is no longer equal or proportional to that cost, but to commercial demand. The problem is most of the food and basic items of first need consumed in the world are commodities, so most probably the next crisis will be about them and it will follow the same pattern as mortgages crisis in 08 did (their real value wasn't representative of their commercial value but the market pushed everyone to believe it was, by buying more and more mortgages bonds, all good until the bubble explodes). The sad part is we are talking about food this time, no stuff that has no material existence as mortgages, so prepare for a shitshow similar to the one previous to the French revolution
