the bare minimum to feed, or artificially keep the price of corn/rice low like a in developing countries (even mexico) is the only thing preventing jobless men stabbing you for a piece a bread. a hungry man will do anything.

The government's function is to protect the population, protect the system, this does a better job of it than any police force.
