This could be devastating if all goes as they plan.

According to Berkshire's latest filing on its stock portfolio, as of June 30 it owned 9,558,000 shares of Union Pacific, currently worth about $594 million. That's a stake of 1.9 percent.

Warren Buffett could be a Climate Change World De-populationist.

What could cause Union Pacific to shut down this lucrative commerce?

Union Pacific is blaming staffing shortages for why it can’t move fertilizer.

Strange that a specific cargo is being targeted, instead of perhaps specific locations.

Yeah, ten days ago I read the last story. Today, another story, again, with absolutely no real answer to the underlying reason. It is left up to speculation that this is planned and deliberate. Why? How is this information available and yet no analysis of the underlying reason? Why throw this out there then?

Its as if the Deep St@te is paying the fertilizer companies to take a dive.

It's how Stalin brought his peasants into submission. Mao did the same on an even bigger scale. It really is part of the playbook. You will need the right political connections to get food.

And they will blame the farmers in order to crush them. That's also part of the playbook.

I traced this mess back to an article in the Wall Street Journal. Evidently Union Pacific Railroad is having transportation problems, and so is telling its customers to cut back on their rail shipments. Many companies are involved.

CF, a fertilizer company, is one of those companies. They are upset, and rightly so. But it looks like Union Pacific is just trying to sort a bottleneck out. They are not deliberately trying to starve America.

Are there any backup sources to this story?

“...rail carriers were essentially being ordered to drop certain loads...”

Who has the authority to do this?

Why wouldn’t UP just say, “No.” Are they (UP) not a private business contracting with other private businesses?

(Maybe I’m naïve...)

naturalnews.com? Seriously?

CNN and the National Enquirer are more truthful and accurate than nut job Mike Adams.

During the early years of the communist revolution in Russia food shortage was the status quo and hoarders were executed.

I saw this yesterday and looked into a little more and as usual there is more to the story:

Supply chain issues not a conspiracy.

I believe working for the railroad is considered to be a “good” job.

Especially for people without a college degree.

Who in the Hell has the authority to "mandate" rail shipping priorities?

Warren Buffet and others have major interest in the rails, but who would have any actual AUTHORITY to enforce such an order?

I used to be a vendor for CF Industries Southeast operations. Made a lot of money for about 15 years. About 7 years ago that region got purchased and some of us vendors got the heave ho. I took a real hit.
