we will be having another world food price crisis if things dont change really soon or we will have a farmer bankruptcy wave. potentially both. if we get a couple more years of this high input cost and/or shortage environment we will have a true global catastophe. im waiting until the numbers are in for carryover stocks available in 2027 before i call it.
I think it’s baked into the cake at this point since there is little chance of a resolution for the Hormuz situation. The empire seriously underestimated Iran’s resolve, and agency for that matter.
Domestically there is going to be trouble too. From where I sit it appears that the MAGA coalition is fragmenting - farmers and working class supporters feel betrayed for example. And there are whispers that Trump is being blackmailed by foreign governments, took part in various disgusting acts, etc.
The US regime appears to be oblivious because they believe their own propaganda now despite wildly inaccurate numbers on both inflation and unemployment for years. They seem to actually believe the economy is doing well because they are richer than they’ve ever been. But the conditions on the street are closer to revolution than I have ever seen in my life. E.g. I see “86 47” graffiti around and so on, everyone’s pissed off and complaining about being broke, etc.
Needless to say, I’m very concerned about the next decade.
If there are shortages of both diesel and fertilizer (and costs go up), it’s hard to imagine this won’t spike food prices.
But if both inputs are not JUST expensive, but unobtainable, it’s a worse problem than prices.
