I got watching Ice Age Farmer’s video on Trump telling people in Virginia to protect their potatoes from their ‘crazy governor’. He’s one to talk. He makes a point about people needing to protect their food. Yes! I agree… If you want to know why let’s look at Chile. They are rioting over food shortages. Coronavirus be damned. They don’t care about this stupid lockdown. They know they’re on the verge of being starved. Yet people here don’t realize that we are heading the same direction. Look at the flaws that have been exposed about our food supply chain. Last year there was a Tyson plant burnt down and no real investigation. This year farmers are being told to cull their livestock. Also, a centuries-old Fisherman Warf in San Francisco was burned with a full stock to be processed. I shared an interview with a rancher out of Texas this month. The farmers rebelled against the government and gave their produce to families in need out in Idaho. Not long after, Ivanka Kushner started buying those same products and begin having it distributed to food banks. Remember the Food Boxes Trump proposed in 2017 and got major push back on. They were going to replace food stamp program, here they are three years later. The right engineered disaster opened the door. The governor of Washington State is willing to let the apples for the year rot on the trees. Never mind that’s how people make money for their families. Some of these orchards are multigenerational.
