Wheat is a commodity. It always sells for the highest price someone is willing to pay for it.

I don’t always agree with Peter Zeihan but he talks about the coming demographic collapse of China and Germany (and other places) and also focuses on the end of the global marketplace. Zeihan seems to feel that global supply chains are about to collapse. And that the US is withdrawing military protection from the sea lanes and other areas. We’re largely (not completely) self-sufficient. And we are in the process of telling the world “You’re on your own” and it’s not going to be pretty. Zeihan posts daily videos on YouTube.

Exactly! I was incredibly disgusted with the behaviors I saw.

“ IMHO this article isn’t about drama. It’s financial website (with mainly an Asia view). This news matters to people who trade in wheat futures.”

I listen to a ag market podcast almost daily .
Buyers frequently cancel purchases if they can get a better deal .

More for the rest of us.

I’m sure there is someone who’d be willing to buy some grain.

Is China expecting an unexpected, unforeseeable and unpredictable reduction in the number of mouths to feed?

What does anyone here think it would REALLY take to effect a cancellation of elections?

The power brokers have no need to cancel elections:

"By means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms - elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest - will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the the theme of every broadcast and editorial. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit."
- Aldous Huxley
