Camper Report. Will There Be A Diesel Shortage? US stockpiles of diesel fuel currently sit at a 20-year low. This comes at a time when Americans are doing extensive online shopping and the supply chain is struggling to keep up. And indeed, it’s not even the only diesel fuel shortage currently developing; propane stockpiles are also dwindling. Issues caused by the deep freeze in Texas greatly reduced production, causing many refineries to shut down or heavily reduce production. This greatly impacted diesel stockpiles, and we’re likely feeling delayed effects from that now. The so-called “Great Resignation” could also be contributing. As unprecedented numbers of Americans quit their jobs, employers are struggling to fill positions. And as they struggle to hire and keep drivers to haul fuel, companies are surely struggling to meet demand. Camper Report.

Ice Age Farmer. EU's Plan to Replace Farms - CITIES2030 - Digital Twin of Food Supply. As our food supply is systematically dismantled, the EU is funding a project to create "Urban Food Systems" and a blockchain-based "digital twin" platform to track indoor farming and synthetic meat from laboratory to plate to sewers. Is this an organic response to a crisis, or a nefarious plan, generations in the making, being realized before our eyes? Christian breaks it down in this Ice Age Farmer broadcast. YouTube.
Inflation Wave: Food & Energy Prices Force Families Around Globe to Tighten Belts. Households and small businesses are being forced to rethink expenditures on the back of a global rise in consumer goods prices. The inflation surge - prompted by high energy costs and supply chain disruptions - hit 6.2% last month in the US, and even higher for some Eastern European countries like Hungary (6.6%) and Poland (6.4%). Analysis suggests it has been triggered by governments trying to jump-start economies post-lockdowns with low-interest loans from central banks. By putting some money in consumer pockets, supply has been unable to keep up with demand. “Food prices are a barometer for social unrest,” said Carmen Reinhart, chief economist at the World Bank, noting that the 2010 Arab Spring uprisings were sparked partly by outrage over food prices.

Smith, H. WE'VE RUN OUT OF ALTERNATIVES: UK VETS CARRYING OUT PIG ABORTIONS AS LABOR SHORTAGE CRISIS CONTINUES. A shortage of butchers means that meat processors have been taking around 25% fewer animals than contracted, leaving farmers facing impossible choices to avoid overcrowding and the consequent breach of welfare standards. Vets and farmers have made the "soul-destroying" move of carrying out abortion procedures on pigs because they have "run out of alternatives." Farmers, vets and the industry alike have said what's currently happening is the worst culling of healthy animals in the history of UK pig farming, describing the situation as "sickening," "unforgivable" and a situation caused by "human error."

“Ammo and anything you'd if miss if taken from you tomorrow. I look at soups and things like Hormel dinner bowls as poor man MREs. Rice is cheap now. I have 75 pounds. Use vacuum seal and oxygen absorbers to kill devils and keep it from spoiling.”
“I just wanted to let everyone know that at my job today at a small general store in California, the Lays chip representative said we would not be receiving anymore potato chip orders due to a potato shortage. So it looks like they are saying that there is a record potato harvest in Maine that can’t get to market due to lack of truck drivers to move product.”
“I noticed plastics being low like storage containers and organizers.”
“I’ve noticed canned vegetables pulled toward the front of the shelves with none behind them at times. Pork, primarily bacon and sausage are not always available and the price has increased. (But I’m sure that’s the case nationwide.)”
“My grocery store is short on coffee for the first time. All they had was the shorter cans which the price had increased on. 38 oz can was just over $11.”
