Pretty much every country that participates in the modern, global economy is far better off today than in the recent past. More people have been lifted out of third world poverty in the past 70 years than in the all of the thousands of previous years combined. The only countries that remain in third world poverty are the luddites who choose to reject the modern world. I support using modern technology to give a first world standard of living to every person on earth. Nuclear power, desalination, modern agriculture, thermal depolymerization for recycling all of our trash.
Sri Lanka recently chose to ban fertilizers made from fossil fuel. Anyone who’s not an idiot could have predicted the results.
People make choices. Choices have consequences.
Third wold poverty is a choice. Here’s one real world example:
Fertiliser ban decimates Sri Lankan crops as government popularity ebbs

“Last year, we got 60 bags from these two acres. But this time it was just 10,” he added.
The dramatic fall in yields follows a decision last April by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to ban all chemical fertilisers in Sri Lanka
Not many years from now, people will spend most of their time looking/obtaining food.
Well, looking anyway.

I’d like to know why. Sure, on the surface it looks like they simply made a green decision, albeit a bad one. But I bet it goes deeper than that.
Who bribed them to make Sri Lanka a test case? I suppose we’ll never know. But those guys couldn’t have made the decision on their own. There’d be no up-side in it.
Yep, times are getting tough. I had to walk almost 100 yards to pick a bucket of tomatoes this am and 5 yards farther to dig potatoes for lunch. Earlier I tripped over 3 chickens to go gather eggs for breakfast.
President Rajapaksa points to the acres of chemically dead soil, the grim gauntlets of tilled but barren farmlands then says “I Did That!”
Most dont realize it, but the USA is headed toward Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka has never been the same since Arthur C. Clarke died.
Latest pandemic: The Stupid Government Virus is spreading all over the world.
Aah - reality gets its revenge.
A great schadenfreude moment.
There is a Global shortage of Fertilizer. Expect this to lead to a Global Famine.
The ruling class wants to see us living in caves and wearing furs, but they will have to be fake furs because you won’t be allowed to harvest them from animals because that will just be mean.
First One Back To The Jungle Wins the pack of Jackals as a personal guard!
There's more of them that need to be silenced than just Klaus though. We must all learn who they are and where they are usually located. They will all have to be dealt with, including the ones that inhabit the US and Canadian Govts.
Things like this don’t just happen without money changing hands.
“ Anyone who’s not an idiot could have predicted the results.”
Libtards are still trying to understand inflation 🤪
The Haber Bosch process kept billions from starving to death.
They have tried to get this to work with solar and wind.
It doesn’t work.
It takes a tremendous amount of energy to break the N2 triple bond.
This is why the reverse makes for such a powerful explosive.
