re: Once the Bread Basket of the World, The United States Now Needs International Food Relief:

1. The USA is still a major food exporter.

2. What did people expect? We went two plus years with factories working with reduced workforces in order to social distance. Factories weren’t designed for that so maintenance including routine cleaning was going to be cut back on to meet demand. It was inevitable.

3. I hope the suburban mothers who were upset about Trump’s mean tweets are enjoying the products of their vote. I don’t if the formula shortage would or would not have occurred if Trump was still in office, but he would have at least reacted the first time he was criticized on twitter. If he can get government and industry to work together to develop a new vaccine in less than a year (regardless of your opinion on the vaccine, you have to admit that was impressive AF) he could have gotten industry and government to work together to fix the formula shortage. It took Biden’s administration almost two months to even admit there was a shortage, and it still hasn’t waived the red tape that would allow the other big three formula manufacturers to increase production.

The antichrist isn't one person. It's the Democrats and their supporters.

So we put a shitload of formula at the border for the illegals, we send pallet loads to Ukraine then we request some get sent to us?

How are we vulnerable when we are still producing hundreds of millions of acres of crops with $5 diesel and $1000/ton fertilizer?

I have family in Iowa. They are quite concerned about losing their arse.

If they can’t sell their product, then they are fricked. Prices are going to go up (a lot).

No one has a given a damn about American agriculture for years. We have taken for granted what we had been blessed with. American farmers were traditionally the best in the world. Family farms have been crushed and driven out for decades now. China and Bill Gates have been buying up much of our farmland. Take a look at what is happening to Sri Lanka right now. It isn't pretty.
