Hey US, too bad you pissed off your largest supplier of potash to the north.

I believe it is mostly nitrogen fertilizer that’s in short supply, not potassium.

Oh look, even more of that grocery price reduction he promised!

And that’s on top of the 15% gas price increase in the last week, or probably more to come.

What’s crazy is that I remember watching a stock trader/YouTuber back in (I think?) September, and the fucking guy was talking about how we’re witnessing the largest wealth transfer in human history unfolding before us now. He was drawing connections between now and all kinds of stuff… the Federal Reserve, the fluctuation in gold pricing during the fall of Rome, the debasement of currency, removing the gold standard in Nixon era, … all kinds of shit. The idea being, this makes the ultra rich even wealthier. For completely different reasons than we’re mentioning here in this thread, he predicted the circumstances we find ourselves in.

Edit: got some links

… damn, and I suddenly realize that I am a cooc.

It’s his immigration strategy, he tried to get rid of illegal Venezuela migrants by annexing Venezuela and making them all citizens. Now he’s going after Muslims in Iran.

If the disruption continues, consumers could see higher prices for bread within six to 10 weeks, eggs within a few months and pork and broiler chicken within six months.
