It brought about chaos and great unrest. That is when the communists can slither in and take over.
Shri Lanka is just the first domino to fall. Most of the third world (and fourth if you include much of Africa and the Middle East) have been playing economic games with their currency to artificially lower prices to create stability. This runs through foreign reserves pretty fast when the economic tide reverses. This means an increasing number of failed nation’s citizens will hop on ships to Latin America where they can convoy to America’s southern border. We really don’t have three more years to get ready. We need reasonable policies to protect Americans NOW.
Global warming.
The cure is a lot worse than the disease.
To save us from mildly higher temperatures we are all going to starve and freeze to death!
In all likelihood, THE MISHANDLING THE RESPONSE TO COVID-19 sped up this particular collapse.
There, fixed it.
Reversing the green revolution of the 1960s (fertilizers, high yield varieties, mechanization and irrigation), unsurprisingly, reversed the gains that it brought.
De-industrialization would be a similarly predictable disaster, also advocated by the Left. So would shutting down “fossil fuels”.
I think it was Thomas Sowell who said that Left sought to replace what works, with what sounds good.
Of course the left is going to blame the crop shortage on the “climate crisis”
Fixed it.
An excellent quote. Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.

Canada trying to do the same as the Netherlands. Kill farming.
Killing Kulaks is back in vogue.
They also borrowed a lot of money from China to build a coastal railroad to transport agricultural products to the port more efficiently and slow-walked the project. I suspect a lot of the loan proceeds ended up in the pockets of politicians.
Depopulation is the goal. War and hunger are good ways to get there.
Of course the left is going to blame the crop shortage on the “climate crisis”

Of course! Everything bad is caused by the climate change.
Without it, we would be living in paradise!
In this case, they are right, sort of! The starvation in Sri Lanca is caused by stupid response to it.
BTW, the basepoint for the “climate change” was chosen somewhere in the beginning of 1800ties. During the tail end of Little Ice Age.
The life was quite rough then, the agricultural yield were very low, people were starving, Thames was freezing over, etc.
We really do not want to go there!
It sort of helped America then.
The starving Europeans moved to the USA en masse to find warmer place!
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We'd all love to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead
Those lyrics still get me. He was talking about Democrats
wanting to change the constitution, not Republicans!
Some suggest that Lennon liked Reagan after they met briefly during halftime of a Monday Night Football game
It’s for their own good. As Chomo Joe says, “this is an incredible transition.”
Par for the course.
Sri Lanka ****ed up. Let the UN handle this.
