A significant disruption of grain production could impact the entire food chain, since grain is not
only consumed by humans but also used for animal feed. In addition, a significant disruption of
grain and corn production could impact commodities trading and stocks. An attack that disrupts
processing at a protein or dairy facility can quickly result in spoiled products and have cascading
effects down to the farm level as animals cannot be processed.
In March 2022, a multi-state grain company suffered a Lockbit 2.0 ransomware attack.
In addition to grain processing, the company provides seed, fertilizer, and logistics
services, which are critical during the spring planting season.

This is the way they are going to get people to support climate change. They are going to make everything so expensive that only the rich can go anywhere, the rest of us pawns might as well give up our cars and take a public bus to work and eat rice and beans because that is all we can afford. It will get rid of the entitled people in the middle class in our society. Everyone will be poor except maybe five percent at the top.

Western governments pay farmers to NOT grow crops.
I think that tells us everything we need to know about the coming "Food Crisis".
100% manufactured Bullsh!t but let's blame Russia anyway.
I'm sick of the stupidity, it hurts.
Western farmers have been growing crops that are too water intensive, and have been monocropping.
There are three solutions to this. You subsidize farmers to grow low yield or low water crops. You bring in regulations forcing them to grow low yield or low water crops, or you pay them not to produce anything at all.

It's called, "# happens".
And the stores in my town are back to normal. Prices are a little high, but I can find anything I want or need.
Stop being so afraid all the time. Oh no! Food might go away. So glad Tucker's on to this. Now that he's taking care of all our "ball" needs.
