We’re seeing some strange things in modern society and all signs point to the fact that famine is coming. Within the US, drought on the plains is making is so that winter wheat can’t grow while up in North Dakota there’s so much water that farmers’ fields are too waterlogged for anybody to do any planting. I have my suspicions.
American farmers that are able to get out into the field are having a hard time finding critical components they need to their machinery.
Two children were just hospitalized due to a lack of infant formula within America. When have you ever heard of that happening before?
We’ve witnessed a lot of talk about smallpox pandemics over the course of the past two years, Germany is now gearing up for another wonderful “simulation” wargaming a pox pandemic originating from leopards, and now, monkeypox is popping up throughout the world. As of this writing, there are 9 cases in the UK, possibly 21 in Portugal, 23 suspected in Spain, 13 suspected in Canada, and 1 in the United States. The initial reports all stated that this was from an infected man flying back from Nigeria on a commercial plane.
Monkeypox isn’t something I’m terribly concerned about as of yet. I am having a hard time finding the R0 of monkeypox (the number of new people infected on average from a single case) It’s just something I’m keeping my eyes on. What I am concerned about is the public health response.

Agreed. No famine but you will not get strawberries in December.
There are these vans then come up from the city (Philly). They come from “food deserts” with piles of government money and professional cart fillers, strip the shelves of suburban supermarkets bare of that week’s hoarding fad, and drive it all back down to their peeps.
I know their schedules and routes.
it seems like you can find good shelf life foods except for healthy fats
Yup, I like canned lard but the shelf life is not infinite.
I guess if you has a hog or two you would be fine :-)
lard
tallow
palm
olive
When I have to pay $5 for a dozen eggs, brother, that’s a famine! ;)
Let them eat RATs.
I am having a hard time finding the R0 of monkeypox...
For practitioners of buggery, it’s probably in double-digits.
For everyone else, it’s essentially zero.
“it seems like you can find good shelf life foods except for healthy fats”
Are you taking government advice without reversing it? They say high carb, low fat, you should eat low carb, high fat. They say eat fruits and nuts, you should eat vegetables and meat. They say eat high polyunsaturated fat, you should eat saturated fat. etc.
And please, please, please, don’t feed your babies “formula”.
Ping.
Things are falling into place according to biblical prophecy.

Famine, disease, etc is repeated time again and again as our Lords’s method of bringing people to their knees and calling on God- not man. What is so disturbing is the amount of people that just can’t see it or acknowledge it.
A very sad state- but long past due- abortions in the millions, gay marriage, boys in girls bathrooms, war cheerleading, ….I pray for revival, it’s coming, unfortunately America will not get right with God until they are brought to their knees.
Yeah, the blue cities and EBT crowd will get 1st dibs on everything to prevent mass rioting. Granny next door in her run down house who was previously just barely squeezing by on SS, not so much.
“I read that in WW2 the federales confiscated food stores from rural people in Texas claiming that it was hoarding.”
I don’t know about that but there certainly were price controls on many items and rationing on others (gasoline and tires).
At its peak, 90% of retail food prices were controlled. And one item was milk. Cow’s milk.
One of my great uncles figured out that if he blended cow’s milk with goat milk (he had goats) then the blended milk evaded price controls and he could sell it for whatever people were willing to pay.
He was a brakeman on the railroad and he raised goats on the side, so I doubt that this made him a lot of money. But the satisfaction of beating government bureaucracy probably made it all worthwhile.
I remember when a lib used the no-blood-for-oil line on me once. I asked if they thought food would be something worth fighting for.
They agreed so I asked so how are you going to eat without oil? You have enough growing in your 1/4 suburban lot to feed your family when trucks can’t deliver food to the grocery store and you can’t drive anywhere yourself?
Prepared to what?
Day 0 = the event, with realization their benefits can’t buy what has run out and not been resupplied.
Night 1...
Riot? Check
Kill others? Check
Feel justified doing the above? Check
Receive initial protection from authorities? Check
Within 9 days kill those authorities? Check
@10 days and beyond.
Internecine warfare? Check
Attempts, some successful to raid the burbs?
Day 30
Mostly dead.
Travis McGee wrote this book a decade ago.
We have very high-tech farming now, with no low-tech backup. What could go wrong...
Eventually people will be limited as to how many of anything they can buy at the grocery store.
That would put a stop to this fast.
