Somebody said this happen by design. Biden predicting food shortages. But somebody said they not predicting food shortages, they planning food shortages.

Always remember what Justin did to the truckers. Anyone who didn't see something wrong with that picture is a zombie.

It reminds me of the scene on The Simpson when Lisa tried to warn the class they were being manipulated by corporate propaganda following a video about Bovine University. In one scene, she was being teased by classmates (zombies) asking if she was going to marry a carrot to which she responded sarcastically, 'Yes, I'm gonna marry a carrot' and the kids took her literally believing they got their 'gotcha' moment.

Same thing here. Idiots sided with government propaganda clouded by their own cruel arrogance that truckers somehow were the bad guy racists.

This is all on purpose.

Some good points, but mouthing the explanation is superficially conspiratorial. 'Supporting electric vehicles' does not explain willingness to take huge losses for a miniscule niche product, which at best is decades down the road. It also would not explain why UP is cutting food shipments and fertilizer shipments and other things.

We never worried much about the supply chain, because it worked fairly well. But it's complex, EXCEEDINGY complex. It worked until the ill advised 'lockdowns', monopoly money payouts, and terrible mismanagement on the government level threw a wrench into it. Everything is log jammed in what is essentially a cascading mess.

Warren Buffett is one of the reasons the Keystone pipeline was shut down, he has the rail contract to haul oil from Canada to the US refineries, big money for WB. I do not trust Warren Buffett.

Listen not to what the media is writing about, but what they AREN'T writing about.

The last two years has taught me a hard lesson. ALL mass media is nothing but sound bite propaganda for the masses. Real knowledge is out there for all but it takes effort to find it. 99% of people won't bother putting out the small effort needed.

DEF...learn something new everyday(night as it is.)

...one of the ingredients is urea... could this have anything to do with the fertilizer shortage?... another (un) intended consequence?

Urea is used in the production of DEF.

"" CF Industries is the largest producer of urea ""

"Remember this moment. Remember, in six months, that we were here, and that the news was about Amber Heard and the Donald Trump is bad theme...."

And now we have another mass shooting to occupy peoples' time and attention so they're not seeing and acting on the dire situation before us. Bloodied schools and dead children are nothing but a good distraction for the masses while the megalomaniacal billionaire class schemes and strives to ascend to godhood. A rude awakening is coming for them, but they'll still manage to hurt a lot of people in the meantime. ;(

found this about Union Pacific restricting fertilizer shipments from CF industries back in april: https://www.icis.com/explore/cn/resources/news/2022/04/14/10754362/union-pacific-curtails-fertilizer-rail-shipments-prevents-new-orders-cf . CF claims it was one of 30 companies targeted by UP for private rail car restrictions, and that the curtailments were handed down by UP "without notice". "the volumes affected include urea and urea ammonium nitrate." now UP is targeting pilot's diesel exhaust fluid shipments for curtailment, a key component of which is urea?

i'm totally ignorant of rail transportation. is there something specific about this issue that makes urea a likely target for shipping curtailments? or is it likely coincidence? otherwise, UP is apparently prioritizing for curtailment those customers that are shipping urea based products, at the exact time the supply for such products is already diminished due to the conflict in ukraine. it's interesting to note that this impacts food costs both by increasing transportation costs and by diminishing crop yields.

The news is out there, but you only find it in obscure places--like listening to people who are/were actually employed in the supply chain. The real reason the Pacific ports are jammed with cargo they can't unload is that Gov. Nuisance and his crew have passed a law that all trucking outfits must go electric. Small and independent truckers can't afford that, so they quit. Who knew they'd force us to go John Galt?

I don't disbelieve this is what happening, but I don't think it has anything to do with "going green," unless you admit that "going green" is code for controlling the movement of large chunks of the population. So what they're really doing is trying to reduce 99% of the population to serfs who can't afford to travel more than a few miles from their homes and depend on a heavily censored internet for their "information." Why do you suppose this "green movement" and the push to censor "disinformation" (read: inconvenient truths) are occurring at the same time?
