Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they’re also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should have food easily, instead it’s a struggle.

        How is it creating a food shortage? It would be a factor in a price increase not a shortage.

              What? What do you think I mean by that? I’m making a basic statement about reality that seems foreign to you, not one of those mystical things people say. All of these factors in agriculture are intertwined especially the way in which oil pervades the production process.

                Bring supporting evidence to your argument. You have just said vague shit the whole time.

                    You came back here after two weeks to make more nonsense statements, hoe is that me going after you? You reopened dialogue and are now complaining.

                    You said something, made a claim and just have acted like it is some sort of common knowledge generally accepted certainty of life. You have not made any sense.

                  I’m confused. What do you want evidence for? Seems like various common knowledge being mentioned. And why do you think I’m making some big argument? I’m trying to have a broader discussion, more like brainstorming, not a debate. Why all the fuss?
