Pete the Wide Receiver fixed the problem.
Parking the ships 50 miles off the coast.
Out of sight, out of mind.
I hope this wises up Americans, politicians, companies as to our vulnerability to everything we use made offshore.
What would happen if one day China says,’We’re closing our ports. Nothing in or out’.
Mebe the ships can unload the cargo in Mexico and the illegals can tuck an Amazon package or two under their arems on their way to the border...
FROM ASIA to USA is NOT WEST BOUND !!!!
Ignorance abounds.
MAYBE the old fashioned ‘fertilizer’ will be popular again:
COW MANURE
**It also takes about two months longer to deliver goods from Asia to the Pacific Coast**
In the 1850s some wind powered Clipper Ships were faster than that!
Wonder if Mexico has ever thought of building off loading ports to supply the US with goods other than drugs.
I am truly sorry if their low IQ minds and low monoamine oxidase levels cause them to start to act on this.
If someone is reading my FR words aloud to them and they dumbly look like they're thinking about it, maybe the loud rap music and someone passing them a crack pipe will distract them.
I'll try to live it down by something I can do in the future.
I already had to apologize to a FReeper on this thread who correctly chastised me for giving ideas to the halfwits to start the crimes.
I should keep my mouth shut.
Nope, and I know that for a fact.
Many grain farmers dont have cows and if they do, they dont have enough head to cover a thousand/thousands of acres.
Dairy farmers? Yes.
He is raising beef for local sale. He most likely wont need fertilizer. Beef are really pretty easy to raise after you get them into pasture.
The problem comes when they have to be fattened. Then you have to get the corn/grains into them and confine them in feed lots.
Pigs? Now there is a whole nuther story.
Reason I say I know that for a fact is that they are contracted.
A will get the watch as the available grains are sold to countries like China and starve like the Irish and Scots did during the potato famine.
He probably does ten acres of corn. His cattle are grain fed as well. Looks like his fields are either in soy beans or corn. I’m sure he does some fertilizing. $3.60/pound including processing. He’s a big part of my food inflation strategy.
He can get by just fine if he only does ten acres.
Good man to know..
