Meh I am a southerner going into the woods with the rifle, in my case an AK and coming out with odd animals is a time honored tradition.I’ll probably just go poaching if things get that bad tbh, rules are nice, but if me and my family are starving then they need a little bending.
The US is a fertilizer exporter and makes way more than it uses, the reason the shortage is a problem is Europe Africa and Asia. In fact Florida is home to major potash mining, including Mosaic the worlds second largest fertilizer firm.But do you have the fertilizers for it?
Russia to "temporarily" suspend fertilizer exports
Fertilizer: Russia, Ukraine Conflict Could Cause Supply, Price Issues – DTN
A massive amount of fertilizer is being removed from the market, as well as gas, which is an essential feedstock for making it.
We are talking about a disruption affecting over 50% of supply.
Ukraine and Russia are both major wheat exporters,and the major supplies of staples to the Middle East and Africa.
This will hit US agribusiness as well, food prices will skyrocket in Europe,Africa and Asia and the effects will be felt in the USA eventually.
Oh,and some of your refineries can only work with heavier Russian/Canadian tar sand/Venezuelan crude.
Also, due to massive under-investments in production capacity we can not ramp up oil production to make for all of the shortfalls.
Energy IS the economy!
Arab Spring 2.0 soon.
Sorry about that, Boot, thing is I am facing at best sustained double digit inflation here, the poorest segments of my country's population will go hungry,people might actually die because of this.
All because of western social media spergouts,Eurocrat incompetence and the US neocons deciding to shill for Oligarchs and Neo-nazis, and Poland's little vendetta against Russia.
The flees on the tail wagged the dog into something that might turn into a full-blown systems collapse, and the parties responsible probably will not be punished.
Wanna stick even more salt in the wound, well Ukrainian refugees are coming here as well, and guess who will wind up paying for them, and we can say goodbye to revenues from Russian tourists.
The damages are very,very real,the actual damage to me and people I know is very,very real!
That doesn't really help the so-called world island.The US is a fertilizer exporter and makes way more than it uses, the reason the shortage is a problem is Europe Africa and Asia. In fact Florida is home to major potash mining, including Mosaic the worlds second largest fertilizer firm.

Also, here is something actually decent from Sarg:
UK gasolene now 11$/gallon
Trump era looks like a golden age.
Germany actually buying more gas from Russia, flows doubling.
Um, when you pull all that food, energy and fertilizer out of the system you will get a global price spike.No but it means the harm will mainly go to Africa Asia and Europe rather than causing famine in the US.
If the world financial system biforcates and between inflation and economic repression I think that gold and silver will be playing an ever increasing role.
Well, perhaps you can get a nice deal like India, that will be receiving Russian oil at a discount and pay for it in Rupees.It is kind of hilarious that 2 weeks ago the price of gasoline in my city was around 42 pesos($0.78) per liter and now it is fucking 74 pesos ($1.38) per liter today. I'm starting to think that learning how to fish is good idea but dodging Chinese Navy Patrols is a pain. I'm really annoyed how a war in Europe is affecting my country's economy when it is already struggling from the pandemic.
Yeah, our current foreign policy is "to be friend of all, enemy of none" but China makes it very difficult to maintain. Also, my country have to be very careful in dealing with Russia because the US Congress might increase funding to various subversive elements through NED(National Endowment for Democracy). I mean there was already an attempt to influence the upcoming election by proxy like Rappler. If we make a deal with Russia we still need to have US approve of it or suffer consequences.Well, perhaps you can get a nice deal like India, that will be receiving Russian oil at a discount and pay for it in Rupees.
I wonder if Russia will accept Chicken and Fruits for Oil?Stuff beats money, which is just an unit of exchange.
Kazahstan showed Russia that it is rather good at dealing with Color Revolutions.Yeah, our current foreign policy is "to be friend of all, enemy of none" but China makes it very difficult to maintain.

Why do I get the feeling that the establishment in the Philippines is pushing for a Robredo presidency? Isko being President would be nice, but let’s not forget that the CBCP plays a big role in overthrowing presidents in the Philippines.Yeah, our current foreign policy is "to be friend of all, enemy of none" but China makes it very difficult to maintain.
