It may not be big for you yet. But I think it’s just a matter of time.
Watch what happens to your costs - and the availability - of everything you need to live.
(We might call it ‘trickle up destruction’.)
There were plenty of ways to avoid this and to avoid our people going to ‘get killed’.
Unfortunately, those things that you think ‘haven’t happened yet’ actually happened well over a year ago. This is just chickens coming home to roost.
I’m aware of how it can affect our consumerism. To some extent.
But it’s another demonstration that we love to focus on one problem while ignoring others. There is lots of bad conflict around the world. Last month, people were all upset about China having the Olympics because ….Moslem Uyghers. The discriminations and abuse goes on, but now it’s not the big story.
Same all through recent history. Seem to focus on some conflict, which libs universally dub “crucial” that we get involved. Then whine when Americans are lost. Bosnia-Serbs. Etc.
Yep, I agree. It’s going to hit us. Farmers are already saying they won’t plant due to high cost of fertilizer, they will only plant soy beans, or they will sell out their farm land. Can we say food shortage this coming fall?
