“Beasley is feverishly trying to raise more money....”
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.
