Absolutely!
They don’t even try to hide it, either.
Keep your eyes on the synthetic fertilizer shortage. How are we going to grow food without fertilizer? What good is farmland with no fertilizer?
We are 9 meals away from anarchy. This is the coming crisis no one is talking about.— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) November 10, 2021
I don’t use commercial fertilizer. I use compost, cover crops/green manure, and animal manure-plenty of that from the locals.
Our local WM has good gardening sales at this time of year.
A couple weeks ago, I went and stocked up on several bags of fertilizer for my garden for next year, for a very good price.
Then there’s the local dairy farms.
Well, I don’t use commercial fertilizer, at home, either....but, all of the farmers in the area do.
Charlie Kirk was just echoing the warning that many have given, regarding food/crop shortages.....and, this commercial fertilizer situation adds to the bad situation.
That’s a great idea to hit WallyWorld for extra plant/garden fertilizers, etc.
Yes....our cows produce a good amount of “fertilizer” :-)
Just crazy what is going on with this synthetic fertilizer (for crops) situation. This is also compounded by China limiting the amount of phosphate it is exporting (a component).
“ How are we going to grow food without fertilizer?”
Just have Joe and his pants out there for a visit. He’ll fertilize the drops.
Err…his drops will fertilize the crops…
Charlie’s tweet also ties in to the article (about global food shortages) you’d pinged me to, this morning (from the Corbett Report).
I should’ve mentioned that, in my earlier ping/post....but, it’s late and my eyes are 😴
Good night, all!
I go for the organic type.
And don’t forget just plain epsom salts, and for tomatoes, diluted milk. They need the calcium to prevent blossom end rot.
Then there’s compost and shredded up leaves and grass from lawnmowing at this time of year.
The home gardener has lots of options not so feasible to large commercial grower.
🤢That would be a deadly crop, for sure.
Yep it’s a bad situation. Farmers may have to convert to organic and old time methods.
Thanks Lysie, one of my favorite breakfasts. Have you been staying busy as usual? How’s your weather?
Interesting. I had no idea about this.
I didn't know there was a shortage, but now that I think about it, it makes more sense. Ammonia & urea are by-products of natural gas. If we are not drilling & refining as much, there will be less fertilizer.
When I worked for an oil & gas company & audited refineries, there would be huge piles of popcorn urea to be bagged & sold as well as other nitrogen fertilizers..

Now Germany is stopping the Moderna C19 vaccine for the under-30 age.
France and half a dozen countries already did so; not yet the vaccine fanatics in the US.
Why does this vaccine create a heart issue in under age 30 but not for those above 60? Any MD can please explain?
-——————————.
There have been stories in mainstream press especially outside the US of older people having heart attacks within weeks of taking certain C19 vaccines. If it can create heart issues in younger people (hence, many countries stopped using it), it can happen in older people too. No?
—————————.
Since the start of the outbreak through 11/3/21 CDC data, only 0.65% of US Coronavirus deaths were people under the age 30. My guess is similar numbers happened in Europe, so regulators concluded that the risk of heart issues in this age is worse than the Coronaviurs risk. Dunno.
————————.
If the above risk-benefit analisys is part of the decision to stop Moderna use in younger people, then what about 60-70 year olds who already had C19? Do they have natural immunity? For how long/strong? And if it holds, why risk the shot on them?
Basic conversation is missing.

Speaking of OSHA ... where is the surprise mandatory drug test for Congress - just like every other company?

Consumer price index surges 6.2% in October, worse than expected and the highest since December 1990

Inflation across a broad swath of products that consumers buy every day was even worse than expected in October, hitting its highest point in more than 30 years, the Labor Department reported Wednesday.
The consumer price index, which is a basket of products ranging from gasoline and health care to groceries and rents, rose 6.2% from a year ago. That compared to the 5.9% Dow Jones estimate.
On a monthly basis, the CPI increased 0.9% against the 0.6% estimate.
Stripping out volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI was up 0.6% against the estimate of 0.4%. Annual core inflation ran at a 6.2% pace, compared to the 4% expectation and the highest since November 1990.
Fuel oil prices soared 12.3% for the month, part of a 59.1% increase over the past year. Energy prices overall rose 4.8% in October and are up 30% for the 12-month period.
Used vehicle prices again were a big contributor, rising 2.5% on the month and 26.4% for the year. New vehicle prices were up 1.4% and 9.8% respectively.
Food prices also showed a sizeable bounce, up 0.9% and 5.4% respectively.
The price increases meant that workers fell further behind.
In a separate report, the Labor Department said real wages after inflation fell 0.5% from September to October, the product of a 0.4% increase in average hourly earnings that was more than offset by the CPI surge.
Shelter costs, which make up one-third of the CPI computation, increased 0.5% for the month and are now up 3.5% on a year-over-year basis, pointing to more reasons for concern that inflation could be more persistent than policymakers anticipate. The annual pace is the highest since September 2019.
The data comes as policymakers such as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen maintain that the current price pressures are temporary and related to pandemic-specific issues. While they have conceded that inflation has been more persistent than they expected, they see conditions returning to normal over the next year or so.

Can you imagine the price of produce if farmers have to convert to old time methods? Mass production farms will be a thing of the past rather quickly. Seeing as the criminal Bill Gates owns much of the farmland in America now, who knows what will happen.
