The Great Flour Shortage of 2023

It's official: the world has run out of flour. The apocalypse has arrived, and it's not even a surprise given the state of the world.

Causes

The Great Flour Shortage of 2023 was caused by a combination of factors, including:

Overproduction by the nefarious Flour Cartels, who cornered the market and stockpiled all the flour for their nefarious plans.

Underestimation of global demand by the world's top economists, who were too busy predicting the apocalypse to predict the apocalypse.

Effects

The effects of the Great Flour Shortage of 2023 have been devastating:

People are forced to subsist on a diet of only bread and water, leading to an unprecedented rise in constipation and boredom.

Crumbly infrastructure is becoming a major concern as buildings crumble and bridges collapse due to a lack of structural integrity.

And don't even get us started on the Unbread – the people who are too poor to afford actual bread, and are forced to make do with the bread they've got.
