Black Swan events aren’t known until after they happen.
That’s essentially the definition.

The elites would just love to get all the most important, vital commodities flowing through a single choke point, which could easily be flipped to the “off” position whenever political needs might dictate.

The why is not very clear...

NONE of this makes any sense. What are the root causes of railroad shipping reductions? Fuel? Lack of maintenance crew? Lack of train drivers? Lack of loading/unloading crews?

What the HELL is going on? Everybody I know is working and not laying about.

It doesn’t pass the smell test.

Does this mean that we’ll be eating a lot more tofu?

It’s almost like this all of this is planned.

As long as there is a Washington, DC, there will be no shortage of fertilizer.

It’s not like this is the first year fertilizer has been shipped by rail.

It’s been done for decades.

Also, fertilizer can be shipped using trucks.

That has also been done for decades.

This is baloney.

So WHY is UP backed up on shipments. Could it be that a Biden birdie whispered in the ear of union leaders to slow down the railroads to create or exacerbate shortages?*

*NOTE: This type of tactic is not beyond commies. Look up “Holodomor.”

What rationale is Union Pacific giving for the reported railroad-mandated shipping reductions?

What can be done to reverse those?

All a part of the plan. It [the Plan] was implemented when lying Joe Biden was installed in the White House by popular demand of the Republican Party and Democrat Party along with the voters. President Trump, who wanted the people to prosper was replaced by Lying Joe Biden, the biggest liar, thief, and crook in the History of the World. Immediately after being ensconced, he set in motion programs which, if allowed to run their course will lead to starvation. And the sheep cheered, “At least we got rid of Trump” was the battle cry.

This is a serious crisis, even if the msm and dems ignore it. Planet wide.

Yay sanctions! We told that Putin, didn’t we? And although fertilizer is made from natural gas, we are cutting gas production due to imaginary climate something.

Tump would be on the phone with UP, and instead of cutting shipments, they would increase them by 20% overnight.

He’d put together a fertilizer taks force, get all red tape cut, use military transport if need be. Whatever it takes.

Instead, FJB will somehow make it worse. It’s what he does.
