I very heavily doubt any nukes will come flying. The Russians and Americans should be fine with food production, while Europe will never escalate to open conflict for food.
Luckily for everyone involved, Pakistan already refuses to import Indian wheat for the most part, so the export ban that was just put in place won't aggravate anything between them. Things will have to get a lot worse before the mutual decision to remove all loos for good is made between them.
Go on.... *unzips pants....*
I've seen that before! In Louisiana. Two days after Hurricane Ida hit. I guess some things remain constant from disaster to disaster.
I've seen it before. Trucker strikes tend to cause that.
Thing about those examples, is they would have a finite end, probably after a couple weeks to a month at most.
We'd need to break down this greater crisis into it's sub-parts first, because each of them have different ending conditions and the like. But, I think they also affect each other? We might need to break out the calculus equations for this one.
On some level, yes. The whole pitch of globalism was cheaper goods, readily available, through the concept of comparative advantage. The underlying security assumption was interlinked economies become too dangerous for any one party to fuck with, ensuring consistent flow of goods from producers to the relevant consumers. A fundamentally flawed assumption, for the history of humanity is irrational decisions leading to war and destruction - this isn't explicitly a universal bad thing, but it does mean that any people who find themselves wholly dependent on the activities of others will inevitably be fucked over, as we are seeing now. For most of us its just rising prices and empty shelves, but Africa is down shit creek without a paddle as more and more countries ban staple crop exports, and its gonna get worse as more and more farmers are looking at fertilizer and seed pricing, and deciding to plant groundcover and let the fields fallow.
And unfortunately for them, the common man is becoming more and more aware of their machinations. Right down to "Eat the bugs, own nothing, be happy". They also understand that the WEF is backed by most corporations and governments which makes them seem like your Saturday morning cartoon villains.
im sorry what
Guinea pigs are hebivores. They only need vitamin C to live and the rest are plants. On top of that, they breed quickly thanks to being rodents. Not to mention, they aren't prone to digging like rabbits are. So easier to keep contained.
But what is the common man going to do with this knowledge?
A fair point. At this point, its fuck all. As common man is comfortable during those times. They are well fed and they got entertainment. Except for those who had their lives ruined by peaceful protestors.
I disagree fully. This is the path that should be taken, particularly in the face of runaway energy costs making the logistics a concern. The problem is there is no boot in the ass to get it done, under normal circumstances a country would raise tariffs so an import product would be 1-5% more expensive to import than its domestically produced competitor, over time the market would slowly slant towards domestically produced goods until the import was competed out of the market. But the establishment views globalism and tariff free trade as a religion and these methods will never be employed. Trump touched the third rail by fucking with China in such regard, only an outsider would dare employ such tactics and immediately the media at the politicians behest began shilling that tariffs would destroy the markets and it was the most dangerous moment in time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Right now would be an excellent time to reconfigure the base of the economy to do domestic manufacturing but it will never happen because the establishment refuses to do so.
Populism is the looming boot to get it done. More and more nations are seeing the rise of popular movements to make this happen, to bring work and jobs back, for their own selfish goals if nothing else. Under the pressure of sufficiently large populist movements, cucked politicians side with it, and new ones rise from its ranks. The establishment has influence only so far as the people believe in it. Furthermore, much of the establishment prioritizes power over wealth these days - reversing globalism opens massive market spaces for economic power to be earned, to then trade for local political power. Many will take that trade over the risk of worse outcomes.
