It’s not as if that stuff grows on trees!

[Jeff Chandler]

shortages bite

They certainly do.

[I want the USA back]

First they make the people miserable. They they pretend to offer a solution - vote the statists into power. When they get their power you’ll still be hungry but you’ll have lost most of your freedoms.

“British farmers were struggling with higher energy costs”

Welcome to your Brave New Energy World. Why don’t they just install some more windmills and solar cells? Everybody knows they are cheaper than coal and nuclear AND a lot more reliable, to boot.

>working with suppliers to “get things back to normal.”

The WEFers disagree. No fertilizer for you.

[napscoordinator]

BREXIT! The gift that keeps on giving.

“Britain’s biggest supermarket chain, Tesco, has limited purchases of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers to three items per customer”

Limiting purchases is about stupid.....all you have to do is buy, put your purchases in your car, go back in and rinse and repeat.

When ammo purchases were limited I took my wife to academy sports and both of us did that very thing until I got all the ammo I needed......I guarantee I wasn’t the only one doing it.

Perhaps the UN can send some emergency bug rations

Well at least they won’t have to worry about being attacked with fresh fruit.

Now, they just have to worry about pointed sticks.

[Bob434]

you think that’s bad, wait till they ration toilet paper

[Nervous Tick]

>> Now, they just have to worry about pointed sticks.

LOL!

I suppose cackleberries are not a concern, either.

[E Pluribus Bellum]

“Supply shortages” huh? Okayyy…

[DuncanWaring]

And 16-ton weights.

[Nervous Tick]

you think that’s bad, wait till they ration toilet paper

[dfwgator]

Look, look, look, Mr Knowall. The 16-Ton Weight is just one way of dealing with a raspberry killer. There are millions of others!

[jjotto]

Just buy from Jews in Israel rather than incompetent Muslims in north Africa.

[Sacajaweau]

Yup...fertilizer means bigger and healthier yield..

[metmom]

Spring is coming. Seeds are out in the stores.

Those who can should grow what they can.

[hinckley buzzard]

With elevated costs and short supply of energy, it will always be something.
