No, not Democrats... unlike Democrats, vultures are useful, and perform a vital service. That vomit that smells like corpses smells like that because that’s what they eat, and that means if the vultures weren’t there, there would be a great volume of rotten meat, roadkill, lost boy scout bodies, etc. laying around the area unburied, full of pathogens that super potent vulture stomach acid would otherwise destroy.
Just nonsense. There did not exist the vast welfare plantation entitlements of today. People in this country are not approaching starvation. Not even the invaders from the south are being denied.
Different story in third world dumps—and perhaps the future US if we allow elections to be filled with fraud. Then we can expect real food insecurity as markets are interrupted and global big business runs rampant.
stop killing the white farmers in Africa and then maybe I’ll listen.
I read a few years ago that by 2100, with the available farm land we have for corn today, the yield would need to be 800 bushels/acre to keep pace with population growth.
IMO, way too many variables to make such a prediction. However, it does make one think about where this is all headed.
How much of this is China related? The flooding they experienced wiped out much of their food production, while other areas had crop destroying drought conditions. My concern is not whether China can feed everyone, but whether China strongarms other countries into feeding them. Those development agreements with China could give the CCP an excuse to demand that the countries that signed them send China excessive amounts of agriculture products instead of cash payments.
Just a general comment on this and other famine stories:
What these stories do not explain is that the famine isn’t going to be in the US. The famine is going to be in China, India, and a lot of Central and North Africa.
The weather this past year in China has been biblically bad. Typhoons, drought, constant rain, and horrible flooding have impact all four corners of China. This has ruined the summer crop and the fall harvest was just as bad.
In addition, prior to Covid there was a wide spread of African Swine flu which ravaged the Chinese pig herd. In fact, they have been buying just about every sow they can get their hands on in order to rebuild the herd. But for the time being, they are down 40-50%.
In Africa, the middle east, and south central Asia there was a massive plague of locusts. This destroyed all of the grain crops in Africa.
So, none of this is related to Covid. None of this has anything to do with a particular form of government. None of this is political at all.
US air crews were advised not to bail out over Japanese held islands, without telling them they would probably be eaten.

"Though of course America - the Breadbasket of the World - is not and never will be threatened by famine, poorly-run sh*thole countries ruled by tin-pot dictators are likely to experience food shortages during the coming Harris-Biden administration..."

Notice how covid19 is put last as a cause of the famine? A actually, covid has little to do with the economic plight the world is in, but governments’ draconian response to it.
Sure. Actually, if you bought $100/month of Apple stock back then, you would be a billionaire now.
Give us money, or not only will people starve, but I will shoot this cute little puppy.
It's all political. Government mismanagement, by Socialists, ALWAYS results in famine. It's sort of a rule.
If we let the Biden Crime Family in, we'll be starving in a couple of years.
Thank you. I saw the same thing growing up in Africa. There is a shortage of food. A bunch of Western do gooder agencies, usually led by Oxfam, dump tons of free food on the country. Problem solved?
Not quite. It turns out farmers cannot compete with free food, so many of them go bankrupt, move to the cities, and live in poverty. So less food is grown.
The Western agencies are onto a good racket: feed 1 million starving people this year, create 2 million starving people next year; double your funding, and double the rake off you can stuff into your own pockets. Rinse and repeat.
Who could have ever imagined that by 2020 200 bushels per acre would be so common that no one talks about it, and 300 bushes happens often.
Oh dear, the world is about to end! So says doom-sayer Mike Snyder once again.
It is a fact that 50% of the US is currently suffering through an extensive and severe drought.

This guy makes a living selling doom and gloom.
The UN did warn back in May about the coming deadly famine in undeveloped countries if developed countries continued to shut down their economies over fear of a virus. It’s clear America’s governor-tyrants, unelected bureaucrats and the public health “experts” don’t give a rat’s schumer about starving children in poor countries ... as it interferes with their primary purpose in life to have absolute control over the lives of American citizens.
