    Hope everyone is aware our futures are being sold out from under us.

    The “elite” will be so surrealistically wealthy the middle/lower classes won’t be able to gain power back in our lifetimes.

    Without guillotines that is. Probably not even with them once the robot drones are researched, developed, and ready to deploy.

    That sounds low. We’re looking at food shortages across multiple continents due to fertilizer not getting exported. That means starvation and death, which, in a language that corporations should understand: reduces the available workforce to produce goods, which means shortages in other areas. That’s on top of the cascading supply shortages of all the other goods that can’t get through a major trade route - we’ve already seen what they can do from the last time that strait got blocked, as well as the pandemic.

      Is Hormuz a major trade route for things other than petroleum, fertilizer, and a handful of other things? It’s not exactly a through-route the way, say, the Gulf of Aden is, so I’d have thought we’d only be talking about stuff actually produced by countries bordering the Persian Gulf itself.

      Nobody could have predicted that the merchants of death, who have been perpetrating crimes against humanity since inception, would be as psychopathic as they have historically indicated.
