There is plenty - and I mean plenty - to be alarmed at in the government's official Yellowhammer no deal Brexit warnings - and that's before you think about what they won't show us.
But among the many concerning warnings, scenarios and potential eventualities detailed in the now published documents one line really stands out, despite it being buried towards the back end of the release.
"Low income groups will be disproportionately affected by any price rises in food and fuel."
That was it, a single line - but one that could mean so much to millions of struggling people.
Across Merseyside, one in three children are currently growing up in poverty - in some areas it is one in two.
Thousands of families now consider a painful, pride-swallowing trip to the local food bank as part of their difficult weekly routine.
Every Liverpool and Everton home match in the city now features a team of tireless volunteers asking kind-hearted fans to donate supplies for the struggling local food bank as standard.
This is already the reality for the 'low income groups' so casually mentioned in the government's report - and yet people throw around accusations of scaremongering when it comes to no deal?
If food banks are already running dry and families are already struggling to make it from day to day - how can a government whose principal responsibility is to look after its most vulnerable people continue to pursue this most reckless of journeys?
Whether you backed leave or voted remain, whether you want a second referendum or believe a General Election is the next step, this is different - this is about desperate parents already forgoing meals so their children can eat being pushed over a cliff edge in the name of an ideological idea that simply was not the basis for the 2016 referendum.
The architects of the leave campaign said there would be a deal, they said it would be smooth sailing - they didn't say poverty-stricken people's lives would be made unbearable.
In Liverpool - where £444m has been brutally chopped away from the city council's ability to look after its most vulnerable residents since 2010 - social services are now at breaking point.
But according to the Yellowhammer report - a no deal Brexit could see providers of adult social care fail.
Economists predict that another effect of the no deal disruption and the higher prices of imported goods will be a rise in inflation.
If this happens, and benefit payments don't keep up with them - then this will spell yet more serious danger for those who don't know how they are going to make it through next week.
And for what? So that we can say we took back control? So we can say we delivered on the will of the people? I don't remember anybody campaigning to make our children go hungry back in 2016.
Boris Johnson won't be worried about food shortages, Michael Gove isn't having sleepless nights about fuel costs - but there will be families in Merseyside and around the country who know one more knock could tip them over the edge.
Maybe it is a worst case scenario as the government is trying to tell us, maybe it isn't - but can we afford to take the risk? There are plenty of people who quite literally can't.
