Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they’re also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should have food easily, instead it’s a struggle.
Agriculture depends heavily on oil.
Dude you need more than that, the availability of labour affects agriculture too would it be fair to claik thensupposed food shortage is related to excess desths due to covid.
What are you talking about? It’s a major factor. I didn’t say it was the only factor.
How is it creating a food shortage? It would be a factor in a price increase not a shortage.
Everything is connected.
So you dont have anything worthwhile to say then, could have started with that.
What? What do you think I mean by that? I’m making a basic statement about reality that seems foreign to you, not one of those mystical things people say. All of these factors in agriculture are intertwined especially the way in which oil pervades the production process.
Bring supporting evidence to your argument. You have just said vague shit the whole time.
It feels like you’re incessantly going after me in a bad faith discussion style.
I’m confused. What do you want evidence for? Seems like various common knowledge being mentioned. And why do you think I’m making some big argument? I’m trying to have a broader discussion, more like brainstorming, not a debate. Why all the fuss?
