Last week it was the Canadian Dairy farmers tossing out thousands of gallons of milk each day. Supply and Demand and the need to maintain pricing. There is all manner of constipation coming in the food pipeline. Far too much Just in Time going on and not enough long term vision.
Maybe dairies need to hook up with cheese makers and make lots of aged cheddar. Fruit leather instead of fresh food. Meat jerky over prime cuts. All the things preppers will need when the world shuts down and we are using ammo instead of coinage as part of the barter system. The small time pulp mill will need armed guards when it becomes Fort TP, competing with Fort Knox. Speaking of gold, prices are beginning to really climb. Prognosticators are expecting it to cross $3k/oz as other economic indicators drop through the basement. Probably based on the ability to mine fresh ore with a limited healthy crew on site, growing demand for portable and inflation proof investments, oil futures are not what they used to be. clay I have no pronouns please do not refer to me. > On Apr 21, 2020, at 10:47 PM, Scott Ritchey via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > On a similar note, a caller in Limbaugh said her spouse worked in a > now-closed meat packing plant.
