I am contributing to the psyop about statues that has you distracted from the ongoing unrest that is creeping thru the world as supply chains crumble and hunger sets in. https://t.co/hZbCssi8Ee
"Famines are not about food availability; they are about physical and economic access to food. The pandemic has worsened both, placing commercial transport under severe pressure and reducing purchasing power."https://t.co/l9vkbgsU5G
"A single plant closure can also cost an entire grocery chain more than 80% of a single meat product, such as ground beef. And failure to process livestock could make millions of pounds of meat disappear from the supply chain."https://t.co/fe7lYelNjbhttps://t.co/stnAj6D1nu
“Once an animal gets to a certain weight or beyond a certain weight, it’s not gaining a lot of meat quality. [...] It would mean slowing the process way down, but animals could be hung on every other hook to avoid putting too much weight on the rails.”https://t.co/kWiRNXvzqJ
"simulation results show that when we increase the number of removed nodes in an interdependent supply chain network its robustness undergoes a first-order discontinuous phase transition, [...] even removing a small number of nodes will cause it to crash."https://t.co/gbDHXhBG64
"food supply chain issues could come home to roost during harvest season, when crops that are usually scheduled for picking aren't harvested [...] there are not only no workers to pick them, there were no workers available to plant them in the first place"https://t.co/UZbkD6K6r2
What happens when price goes up?"It is also affected by the type of product you’re selling, the income of your target consumers, the health of the economy, and what your competitors are doing. “You can’t look at it in isolation,”"https://t.co/OLbFbeDdlo
"Our results also indicate that maritime trade flows follow a form of random walk on the underlying network structure of sea connections, highlighting its pivotal role in the development of maritime trade."https://t.co/ybDgLZet1Q
"As cargo volumes to major Washington ports fall amid the coronavirus pandemic, shippers are canceling sailings and ports are shutting their gates to trucking operations some days of the week, causing backups, delays and container shortages."https://t.co/MpjYY6xnG8

Apparently you can't get food-stamps in some areas because higher unemployment funds puts you over the cut-off for income. Is this why there are lines for foodshelfs?https://t.co/Ss2ErtQPbq
"analysts [...] say there’s already been a 25% drop in the number of trucks on the road each day since March, and a 20% drop in the number of miles driven, and federal statistics show at least 88,000 truckers lost their jobs in April"https://t.co/8rUHzGA483
Software is eating the supply chain.https://t.co/FnnuYDlbmy
Delivery drones are coming. Either we bootstrap systems that create an open distributed market for anyone, or we watch big corporate platforms slowly eat their way into being the soul provider & begin rent seeking the commons.The everything store should belong to everyone.
"We will make it clear to State, local, tribal, and private sector entities that planning efforts should assess systemic effects such as supply chain impact, just-in-time delivery, warehousing, and logistics"https://t.co/kJtQwNt0Ye
I've been ignoring the supply chain problem.https://t.co/TurI4vvFHO
"I'm really happy that we took the risk and ramped up our inventory, despite the fact that in food manufacturing it's well known that everyone is doing Just-In-Time [...]Most [...] only have 3 days on hand at any given moment."https://t.co/BRmpDZpwdZ 🥲https://t.co/fdur6WaEhw
"At the heart of these concerns is the modern operating practice of Just In Time capitalism. Similar to lean production methods, the intention of Just In Time is to optimize productivity, cash flow management, and ultimately, profitability"https://t.co/KrXq5Td7BN
"Linville says he doesn’t see a lot of relief in nitrogen prices between now and next spring, and phosphate and potash will be heavily dependent on what farmers decide to apply to their ground this fall." https://t.co/V4mefjJCEJhttps://t.co/585xDtUv8t

"Managing composting piles to minimize methanogenesis—by maintaining sufficient O2 concentrations, and focusing on the first three weeks—could reduce emissions, contributing to the climate change mitigation benefit of composting."https://t.co/pcqpOiTEJ6
Have you considered fixing your supply chain?https://t.co/5SCS5c87di
It might even fix climate change associated cow farts, lmao."These results confirm the ability of [garlic oil], [diallyl sulfide], and [allyl mercaptan] to decrease methane production, which may help to improve the efficiency of energy use in the rumen." https://t.co/CabE4cquOr

Seeing hand wringing over how this is a #blackswan event. Does that mean you didn't expect it?https://t.co/EeMM2cWHeM
I was just informed about CO2 prodution shortages & possible impact on food preservation.Of course there is no backup system; preparing for a blackswans and cascade failures isn't profitable.Thank you o glorious hand of the free market for punching us in the face :(
Never considered what would happen if you offload chemicals production of ammonia + phosphate fertilizer to china, and then give them sanctions for producing so much CO2 under global warming initiatives? https://t.co/bGkfjqYXM7This isn't blackswan. This is shortsighted idiocy.
Have you tried mitigating your use of a large scale carbon production industry, and trying to use sources regenerative agriculture... Instead of pointing fingers at each other about who's cows farts stink less?https://t.co/xgFKqv7CES
Of course not."“Putting carbon in the soil by itself — there’s no money in that,” says Jansson. “It has to be economically responsible for a farmer or a biotech company to invest in it.”"https://t.co/i4NG4lCil7
You see... our shareholders demand high yeild crops NOW, who cares about long term drougt resistance and soil health. You're just leaving money on the table!!! /shttps://t.co/WDCuvIl1sV
Garden variety short-termism.https://t.co/lNH1HMqi3a
I wonder how many services will eventually get squeezed for profit by subset of greedy VCs looking for ROI.In pushing for short-termism and trying to recoup costs, their loss aversion shows their hand -> they aren't unicorn hunting, they're rent seeking.https://t.co/7H1bsnHsr1

"“We have this vicious cycle of all the natural human instincts responding, and making the problem worse,” said Willy C. Shih, an international trade expert at Harvard Business School. “I don’t see it getting better until next year.”"https://t.co/p1vdv1Krqr
The entire world's supply chain is crumbling under short term incentives... but it's all your fault! Pay no attention to the short term incentive structures that drive system fragility. Nytimes says its 'human nature' and to "deal with it".https://t.co/tlacYkc97X
