Bit of a tangent but also worth noting that this was *grain* and thus the poor would have had to process it or have it processed & this could be expensive. It would also spoil w/out good storage. Wouldn't be surprised if poor people sold their grain distribution (probably at a loss) as a result.
Random: ran across a live cover of Tonight, Tonight by Panic! at the Disco and it's not bad, but they make a bunch of little changes to the lyrics and every change is worse.
From the perfect simplicity of 'believe in me as I believe in you' to 'believe in me 'cause I believe in you.' for instance.
I suppose the political question re: the Iran deal is if it will give Trump a boost either directly or because of falling gas prices.
My vague instinct is probably not much of one (nothing else has), but also no big drop despite a humiliating peace, because his supporters won't be told about it.
The shift to a casual statement, 'cause' is so much weaker than 'as' - believe in me [in the way that/to the degree that] I believe in you - is just a lot more evocative.
They also change "We'll make things right" to "We'll make it right" which also strikes me as weaker, narrower, more limited.
Anyway, the cover is here - it's not new, it's from ages ago: youtu.be/1AWXO2Jm9jQ?...
