Now We Are Being Told To Expect Food And Diesel Shortages For The Foreseeable Future
May 16, 2022

Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

If you think that the food and diesel shortages are bad now, then you will be absolutely horrified by what the globe is experiencing by the end of the year.  All over the planet, food production is being crippled by an unprecedented confluence of factors.  The war in Ukraine, extremely bizarre weather patterns, nightmarish plagues and a historic fertilizer crisis have combined to create a “perfect storm” that isn’t going away any time soon.  As a result, the food that won’t be grown in 2022 will become an extremely severe global problem by the end of this calendar year.  Global wheat prices have already risen by more than 40 percent since the start of 2022, but this is just the beginning.  Meanwhile, we are facing unthinkable diesel fuel shortages in the United States this summer, and as you will see below there are “no plans” to increase refining capacity in this country for the foreseeable future.

If you had told me six months ago that we would be dealing with the worst baby formula shortage in U.S. history in the middle of 2022, I am not sure that I would have believed you.

But that is precisely what we are now facing.  One young couple in Florida searched stores in their area for four hours and couldn’t find anything…

    When Erik and Kelly Schmidt, both 35, went into a Central Florida Target store this week to buy their usual baby formula, Up & Up Gentle, for their five-month-old twins, they found an empty shelf.

    The pair then embarked on a half-day journey in search of formula, any formula, and their quest didn’t end there. “We spent over four hours going to every Target, different Walmarts, different grocery stores, just finding absolutely nothing,” Erik Schmidt said.

There will be a lot of hungry and dead people in 3rd world countries thanks to the leftist politicians around the world.

And if the elections go right it will be the republicans fault?

Of course the Biden administration has made sure that there is enough baby formula for migrants that are illegally crossing the border, but for millions of ordinary American families this crisis has become a complete and utter nightmare.

Yet I've not heard a single Republican make hay with this by using it as an example that our supply chain cannot handle hundreds of thousands of illegals streaming across the border.

How much refined diesel fuel is exported (if any)?
Time to put an EMBARGO on that (again, if such exports are occurring).

Same for any other refined petroleum products.

That's the plan all along

That's not the point. The point is to strangle personal transportation to the point where people from the suburbs and rural areas will be forced to move to the cities,where there are buses running.

Too many people living in rural areas and not dependent on city administrations controlled by Dims are seen as a threat on the police state the left is trying to install in America.

They want everybody living in apartment buildings in cities so it is easier to keep an eye on them and control them.

Look for housing divisions in city limits all over the nation to be bulldozed to the ground to make room for apartment buildings.

Which means that like in NYC,there will be no room to park privately-owned vehicles,so people will sell or junk their cars because they have no place to park them where they won't be stolen for parts or vandalized.

Think "Soviet Russia,Part 2".

Well,for thee and me,anyhow. The elites will have even more rural country to build their estates in,and none of those trashy middle-class people running around clogging up their scenery.
