Even in the case of overpopulation, an alien invasion by a species capable of interstellar travel doesn't make much sense, for several reasons, of which I'll only list 4 cause I'm lazy:

1-By all we know of exoplanets, there's likely huge numbers of habitable worlds out there with no technologically advanced species on it. One would think that a species capable of interstellar travel would prefer to target a world without having to worry about a war seasoned species capable of limited space travel and possessing nukes;

2-Any species capable of interstellar travel en masse has likely has solved all the problems that would force it to raid a planet like earth for resources. Also, there are far better sources of pretty much any earthly resource out there in space;

3-Any species capable of interstellar travel likely has weapons at its disposal that would allow them to wipe out all of humanity. There would be no invasion, just a single, calculated strike;

4-Its highly unlikely that the aliens would invade out of interest in humanity itself, as we don't really have much to offer them, and our biology isn't exactly extraordinary either;

The only somewhat believable reason for an alien species to actualy bother to invade are religious or cultural reasons. Maybe their god demand them to invade worlds inhabited by advanced civilizations for whatever reason, or their culture is built around probing anal cavities or somesuch.

If it even counts as a sad, I gots me around 10 different medical examinations ahead of me for reasons. This makes me slightly annoyed, as I don't generally fancy the idea of pissing in a cup and such shenaningas.

And "edible phallic lifeform".

Seems my magic is still working. In the end, I managed to summon both ein and mastahcheese.
Mastahcheese just took a while cause of spell resistance modifiers.

^{Ein confirmed for easy.}

Aging, like the Russian problem of looks, will be Brutal solution to "die them off". In poverty.

They could've just called it THE LUSTRIA EXPANSION or THE JUNGLES FULL OF SCALIES AND THE OCASIONAL FURRY ALSO ELVES.

Indeed, I make a mistake in calling price control as taxation.
Regardless, in artificially keeping the price of bread low, the government disregards the economic fact of wheat becoming specially scarce since imports have plummeted and so has the internal production (in no small part because of the very drought you mentioned), but at the same time prevents bakers from increasing said price, essentialy driving the baker's revenue way down. In short, the government is forcing bakers to use almost all wheat of the lower amount of wheat they can acquire to make bread which they're forced to sell for low prices, essentialy driving the baker's revenue way down.

Basic bread is subject to the price controls. Brownies are not. So the guys want to make brownies because you can charge whatever you want for them. i.e. the bakers are arguing that they should be able to push prices of wheat-related good higher.

The bakers then opted to make brownies, which aren't a staple and thus have no government set price control, so they can actualy hope to have enough profit to buy things other than the wheat they use to make their own goods, like, say, feed and clothe their families. The fact two of them were arrested for using expired wheat only further confirms this fact, unless you're willing to believe the bakers are part of some evil cartel that wants to starve everyone so they can live in infinite luxury provided by the sale of a few dozen brownies.

Imagine that your boss tells you to work but forbids you from being paid more than a few cents for it.
Wait a minute.
