Assault on Small Business in Sydney, Australia
COVID regulations in Sydney, Australia are killing small businesses. Here is a video I was asked to share where the police push the owner into his shop and tell him to close his business immediately. He is also warned that he will receive a high fine if he doesn’t close. I’m sure these guys or the government are not going to pay his rent that he will still be responsible for…
Rioters at the White House – “Fuggedaboutit”
Isn’t it interesting how the news media can’t stop talking about January 6th, while remaining silent about rioters tearing down the White House barricades and attacking the Secret Service on May 31, 2020. They want you to forget this ever happened!
Soylent Green
Was Soylent Green a prediction from the past?
Soylent Green is a 1973 American science fiction film directed by Richard Fleischer — starring Charlton Heston and, in his final film, Edward G. Robinson. The film overlays the police procedural and science fiction genres as it depicts the investigation into the murder of a wealthy businessman in a dystopian future suffering from pollution, overpopulation, depleted resources, poverty, dying oceans, and a hot climate due to the greenhouse effect. Much of the population survives on processed food rations, including “soylent green”.
The film, which is loosely based upon the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room!, by Harry Harrison, won the Nebula Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film in 1973.
Movie synopsis of Soylent Green (1973):
In the year 2022, the population has grown to 40 million people in New York City alone. Most housing is dilapidated and overcrowded, and the homeless fill the streets and line the fire escapes, stairways of buildings, abandoned cars, subway platforms, etc. Unemployment is at around 50%. Summers are oppressively hot and humid with temperatures over 90F degrees during the day and night due to Earth’s recent climate change resulting from the Greenhouse Effect. Food, as we know it in this present time, is a rare and expensive commodity. Most of the World’s population survives on processed rations produced by the massive Soylent Corporation, including Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow, which are advertised as “high-energy vegetable concentrates”. The newest product is Soylent Green: small green wafers which are advertised as being produced from “high-energy plankton”. It is much more nutritious and palatable than the red and yellow varieties but, like most other foods, in short supply which often leads to weekly food riots.
Supply Chain Brief: Delays, Workforce Decline, Shortages, and Price Hikes
The USDA announced declining wheat quality and production. Drought conditions in the Northern Plains and Pacific Northwest have caused a 40% decline in wheat harvests. Corn harvests are also seeing a weekly decline over the summer. Durum wheat, (the type used in pasta), is forecasted to produce 37 million bushels this year, compared with 69 million bushels last year. Spring wheat, (the type use in bread and cakes) is forecasted at 345 million bushels, down from 586 million bushels last year.
Shipping ports are seeing delays at 4x normal operating timeframes. On average 10.5 billion tons of goods are delivered by trucks. A shortage of an estimated 100,000 certified (CDL) drivers is delaying deliveries and causing spoilage.
This shortage equates to 525,000,000 less tons of goods reaching destinations. A federal database showed that since the start of 2020, 70,000 driver applicants failed drug screening, causing them to be dismissed.
Flooding in a key technology industry in China has caused mass evacuations and halted production and delivery of essential tech and metals. During the flooding an alloy manufacturer suffered an explosion. This single company produces 60,000 tones of alloy rods, high-silicon aluminum alloy, and titanium products.
Meat packing workers are so understaffed that the U.S. House passed a bill back in March that extends the work visas of immigrants working in the farming and meat industries (those in the H-2A program). Now a push is being made to remove the cap on the number of visas that can be extended. The H-2A program typically aids in worker shortages of seasonal agricultural processors but the limited assistance doesn’t provide relief for the year-round pork industry which is already constrained causing price hikes and decreased exports.
The National Association of State Meat and Food Inspection Directors said the greatest threat to the meat packing supply chain is a labor shortages, in part due to COVID-19, saying availability of workers “was affected by employees who became sick or infected, absenteeism caused by fear, and sometimes state or local health agencies.”
Debrief: Expect bread prices to increase. Expect common food staples to be in short supply. You’ll still be able to get most vegetables, fruits, and goods but some trips to the grocery could be unsuccessful. Asian imported shipments continue to see delays due to both vessels being held up at departures ports during typhoon season. Domestic supplies are suffering from both quality and quality decreases due to extreme droughts and the inability for farmers and producers to get viable goods into the market before expiration. This is due to rail and hauler delays caused by manpo…
