More Self-Inflicted Shortages

4/12/2022

Food and Fuel
Although fuel shortages (and the accompanying high prices) hurt; food shortages are even worse.

As I've written over the past several months, the self-inflicted energy shortages in Europe have resulted in shortages of fertilizer.  The War between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in crises level shortages of both fertilizer and wheat.

2022 WILL be a year of massive global food shortages and there is a high possibility there will be famines like we have not seen since the Carter era.

A Whole New Level of Hypocrisy
In the face of surging inflation and global starvation, a wise leader might reverse their idiotic, anti-energy policies.

But NOT Joe... his actions are beyond hypocrisy and border on pure evil.

Joe has announced that his administration will ignore environmental regulations and allow E15 (i.e. 15% ethanol) gasoline to be sold.  There are multiple problems with this decision.
  1. Ethanol is an inferior fuel compared to gasoline.  Ethanol contains less energy per gallon than gasoline or diesel. (It's science).
  2. Because it has less energy per gallon, ethanol fuel will yield worse mileage.  Every dime you save at the pump is an illusion because you have to burn more gallons and fill-up more often.  Burning ethanol is bullshit.  (It's science)
  3. Ethanol is made from corn (aka: FOOD).  Corn is one of humanity's primary alternatives to wheat.... the wheat that will become incredibly scarce later this year.

Joe is willing to burn FOOD to create the illusion of lower gas prices during the worst humanitarian food crisis in generations.  He isn't doing this for the 'working people',  he certainly isn't doing it for the environment,  he absolutely isn't doing this to prepare for a humanitarian food crises.

NO, this POS is doing it to get a small boost in the polls before the midterms.  He knows that millions will starve because they can't get Ukrainian wheat or American corn.  He knows... and he does NOT give a shit.

Joe should be held accountable for every famine related death in 2022-2023 and then put on trial for Crimes Against Humanity.


Here ya' go... right from NPR.  Of course it's Trump's fault and Putin's fault that we've had runaway inflation for 15 months.  If you believe that, please move to California or Venezuela.

Your prediction on fertilizer shortages and the subsequent price hikes are spot on... I keep precise records of household expenditures and an item I track is fertilizer for our lawn. Here are our yearly expenses to treat our 2400 sq ft of grass:

2022 = $39.95
2020 = $25.42

That's a 57.16% increase over two years, the vast majority being over the last year alone.

10-10-10 fertilizer has gone up 37.1% over last year and a whopping 60.77% over two years.
34-0-0 has a more modest increase on ONLY 24.45% over two years.

For me, this is still a modest increase since I have such a small lawn at 2400 sq ft. But consider a farmer. I know this is apples to oranges but if they were to treat at my expense ratios it would come out to this:

2022 1 acre = $725.09
2020 1 acre = $461.37 (An increase of $263.72 / acre)

2022 1 sq mile = $464,058
2020 1 sq mile = $295,168
That's an increase of $168,782. Again, that's a 57.16% increase over two years.
Now consider they're going to use corn grown at these increased costs to make ethanol - pure stupidity.

On another note, only an estimated 2,300 stations out of an estimated 150,000 across America sell E15 fuel. An insignificant number to make any difference anyway, Thank God! Just more Bullsh*t from the "so-called" Biden Administration.

But hey, it's all Putin's fault. Here's how I handle the nagging wife these days. Enjoy 😁

Thanks for the info... I didn't realize there were so few stations set up to sell E15. Perhaps fewer people will starve this fall.

I learned yesterday that Georgia is currently under an Emergency Order due to supply chain issues. https://www.11alive.com/article/news/politics/governor-brian-kemp-state-of-emergency-supply-chain-disruptions/85-b9f352e3-c2dc-40d2-9a25-6db2ef0c9ef1 It is very concerning!

I honestly believe that Obama is handling all of Joe's decisions. Months ago, I read that Obama had set up offices very close to the White House, which became known as West Exec and remains involved in White House affairs.
