Prices go up for the US and the rest of the world equally.
The poorest will starve. Everyone else will pay the going rate.
$5 for a gallon of milk or loaf of bread. $20 for a chicken.
I've already seen $9 for 5lbs of organic flour.
There have been no northern hemisphere harvests since the war in Ukraine began. So who is getting rich from these increases in prices?
Just part of the ongoing media campaign to try to convince people: “See? It’s not BIDEN’S fault!”
Dirt is basically sand with some color. To grow food in dirt requires the massive annual application of fertilizer.....a lot of which comes from (came from) Russia. (Potash, as in potassium).
The era of the "family farm" is long gone. Now, we have "agri-business," which is basically "hydroponics in dirt."
Take away the modern chemical fertilizer, and yields will drop off a cliff, and millions will starve around the world.
Search out what's already happening in Chile, Peru and Sri Lanka to find out what happens when food prices spike and the cost of food goes beyond what people can pay. It's not pretty.
There is no magic political formula to fix this reality, and the USA is not immune.
“Food prices soar to record levels on Ukraine war disruptions”
Serves Putin right!!!
