“36,980 to go....”

___________________________________________________________

(That should be 3 dots.)

And it’s not just processing Food, it’s the ability to grow food. In that vain, here’s a little more truth for you:

Excerpt:
In February, the Weaver Fertilizer Plant in Winston-Salem caught fire, burning several hundreds tons of ammonium nitrate during a time when farmers were already concerned about getting enough fertilizer due to supply chain disruptions and inflation. So in an effort to make matters worse, without any advance notice, on April 8, 2022, Union Pacific began mandating railroad shipping reductions by 20%, impacting CF Industries Holdings, the world’s largest fertilizer company. Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street happen to be the top shareholders of Union Pacific, and BlackRock and Vanguard are in the top 3 shareholders of CF Industries Holdings, along with T. Rowe Price Associates. This will directly impact key agricultural areas such as Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and California. This will ultimately effect food supply and pricing. CF Industries is only one of 30 companies dealing with these restrictions.

You see this is where the rubber meets the road:

“Union Pacific began mandating railroad shipping reductions by 20%”

Why?

Choice A:
UP is struggling to meet shipment demand. this is a way for them to ration availability.

Choice B:
UP is part of a vast conspiracy to starve people so that Bill Gates can control our food.

Paranoid people choose B.

Occams razor says “A”. If you want me to choose B you need to PROVE TO ME that UP is doing it per choice B. Extraordinary claims require extraordnary evidence.
