It’s almost like this all of this is planned.

….and with a major drought hitting our growing areas, I can say yes. The Lord works in mysterious ways- can you say Revival? Revival is always preceded by nations being brought to their knees.

"The why is not very clear..."

I agree. That's why I 'high-lighted' "arbitrary restriction" in the article.

We can’t say that we weren’t warned- I thought that Mike Adams had gone around the bend when I read this, but here we are. From April 6-

Yup. I remember reading something like that. Sounded like 'nutty' stuff then....a week or so ago.

It’s not like this is the first year fertilizer has been shipped by rail.

It’s been done for decades.

Also, fertilizer can be shipped using trucks.

That has also been done for decades.

This is baloney.

Yep. Good thing there is no shortage of trucks, or truck drivers, fuel is cheap, and we have months and months before spring planting in the Midwest, so that fertilizer will make it to farms on time, with no significant price increase.

So WHY is UP backed up on shipments. Could it be that a Biden birdie whispered in the ear of union leaders to slow down the railroads to create or exacerbate shortages?*

*NOTE: This type of tactic is not beyond commies. Look up “Holodomor.”

One of the busiest rail lines goes thru Missouri Valley, Iowa. Couple years ago, they had 50-75 engines sitting idle. With higher gas prices, rail becomes more profitable but now you’re competing against shipping oil, corn/soy beans etc. Whoever pays the most is gong to get the traffic.

Here in North Idaho, there is a HUGE volume of BNSF traffic on the rail lines south out of Sandpoint. Many of the lines converge on the Columbia River Gorge and head down to Portland. LOTS of low-sulfur Powder River Basin coal being shipped overseas.

That’s precisely what Biden’s team wants us to do. They create and/or exacerbate problems, if that’s what they’re really doing, until not just you, but ALL OF US cry out to the government for help, at which point they’ll be ready to swoop in with their neo-Marxist NWO BBB GND etc.

But Trump got things working. He got things done. This admin does nothing but create problems.
