Is anyone getting concerned about who is out in the fields harvesting, fishing, slaughtering and packing our food? There seems to be warning signs that the next sector to start showing damage will be our ability to feed the nation.

Yeah, wouldn't that be funny if more people died from starvation than Covid,

Wtf gloom guy?

Maybe a farmer will run over a silo by accident and trigger an ICBM to start a nuclear war with China, Russia and France leading to our extinction.

How cool would that be?

Yes, I've been seeing and reading articles about this lately.
This trump shit show is getting worse.
Trump's been able to control the narrative to his misdeeds by gas lighting.
But even his cult is starting to see the obvious and he's losing supporters.

Trump's been getting away with one crime after another for years,
Mother nature and science play by their own rules.
Maybe it's time to go back to our roots and start a garden.
Or at least stock up on more canned food.

It's ironic that trump supporters have the same mind frame as trump.

Deny reality. Suppress the truth. Punish the messengers.

What you aren't accepting is that trump's strategy/behavior will only make things worse at the end.

Millions of tons of food is being wasted. Food prices will go up to Depression era levels.
Wait til you see the prices for basics go up this summer.

Some of you may need to start sucking dick to afford a banana.


I have family that teaches Agriculture at the local University and abroad. This was one of the big topics of virtual Easter dinner.

"Is anyone getting concerned about who is out in the fields harvesting, fishing, slaughtering and packing our food? "

So those people had been identified as "essential workers who are still working. If someone gets sick, someone else steps in. It's not like they're involved with rocket science.

There are no signs this sector is slowing down so dont even go there... your just giving harthat a platform for his daily TDS outbursts.

Stay on topic farthat
Gloom guy is talking mass starvation not Orange man bad

"Millions of tons of food is being wasted. Food prices will go up to Depression era levels."
Gloom guy is not too good with his history lesson though
Prices go down in a Depression, not up

1930
When the Great Depression began in 1929, prices dropped as fewer people could afford milk and eggs, but farmers still had them to sell. From the 1920s to the 1930s, the price of a gallon of milk, for instance, dropped nearly 10¢ (a big percentage).

Psst, millions of tons of food were wasted before covid..........gloomy

If you ever want attention always write something that includes doom and gloom, this is why trolls get fed more than people talking about sunshine and rainbows. Built into our very nature of survival is to be wary of potential threats and includes reading bullshit someone comes up with.

Hey doom and gloom guy--You seriously need to stop...

All you are going to do is spread more fear. Yes, moron the food industry is being hit by labor shortages and the virus but it's a short term problem unless people buy up all the excess. The United States produces huge f'ng excess of food it is ridiculous. We ship to other countries grains, soybeans and meat and considering we have a surplus because of restraunt demand is down we have an extra surplus.

Well up until doomy boi here and the news decides to spread panic.

Yep there goes the price of veggies and meat. Hello shortages.

..even though we as a nation eat more than we should.

@heliman, if this shutdown continues, the demand for pussy will drop since many
guys will change priority on how they will spend their money and the supply should
increase since there will be a lot of broke ladies.
So I would expect price to drop for ENTERTAINMENT!

I would expect the price of food to increase until businesses begin
to operate on a normal schedule. That may take about 6 months,

There are a lot less people picking, prepping and packaging our food. It’s not the shortage, it’s the cheap labor that helps get it to our table.
And with the shortage of hands, farms may not be able to afford to operate.
And the dominoes keep falling.

OP and others raise a valid issue. Lots of info coming to light about messes in the food supply chain.

And with zero leadership coming from federal government and people lost confidence in Trump (OMG did you see his illegal "briefing" and meltdown yesterday that several news outlets refused to broadcast? He is clearly not running the show )

Of course the usual people deny the facts and argue with the responsible adults --Trump doing that is exactly why we are in this shutdown mess. So yeah keep doing what doesn't work-'thats the Trump play (not playbook, dude has only one)

These commenters say I don't know. I don't wanna know...and I am loud and proud to be ignorant.

This is true Trump Derangement Syndrome- ignore inconvenient facts, science, evidence, support an incompetent. Because real thinking and actually being a responsible citizen is hard.
