Are you serious? Of course this is a global problem. Beck isn’t someone I like but this flooding in China is bad. I’ve been watching it for weeks. It’s food supply and plenty more- that we buy.

This, from the article:

“...Fully 20% of the world’s supply of Corn, Maze and many fruits and vegetables are grown in the Yangtze flood basin. China is also the world’s largest producer of Rice, Wheat, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Peanuts, Tea, Millet, Barley, Cotton, Corn and Soybeans...with the bulk of these food crops grown in the Yangtze flood basin.

“...More than 30% of the world’s supply of Chicken and Eggs are farmed in the drainage basin of the Yangtze River, all of this downstream from the 3 Gorges Dam.

Over the last 50 years, I've flown the New York/Los Angeles route hundreds of times so I've witnessed the Great Plains farmland falling into disuse. It has been a sad journey across a vast and fertile plain that once filled me with awe at our productive power. We have the means to plant and grow all our country needs. Making this country self-sufficient is critical, asap for prescription drugs. This will be a focus of a second Trump Presidency. First the manufacturing had to return. Then farming. Then deregulating the producers of the country. With luck and providence combined, I believe Trump can make a significant leap away from the disasterous post- WWII ideal of global interdependency.
