JBS Shutters All US Meat Plants As Cyber Attack Jeopardizes Food Supply
BS alert. There are no “la nina conditions” present today. The ENSO meter is at exact neutral. There is drought because the west is mostly semiarid to arid land and various degrees of drought conditions are normal.
“shortages” are ALWAYS, and I do mean ALWAYS, a hallmark of socialist/communist/fascist economic regimes ... just as we were tested with creeping autocratic control of our daily lives during the covid “pandemic”, we’ve being gradually acclimated to “shortages”, starting with shortages of paper towels and toilet paper during the early days of the “pandemic”,with more and more “shortages” accumulating every since then ... we now have major shortages of building materials and appliances, initially intermittent shortages of energy supplies, and of course, now the ultimate shortage: food supplies ...
twenty years ago, how many here really believed that what we’re seeing today would be really happen?
Well at least that endangered smelt is safe. /s
