Food crisis

U.S. President Joe Biden is warning people around the world to prepare for a global food shortage amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. ABC News’ Andrea Fujii has the details and impact here at home.

"Groceries are already about 8% more expensive than they were last year" yeah fucking right. Food has nearly doubled

[alstroemeriaagain]

Biden literally said people are going to starve. I’m really tired of living through historic events.

[alejandromazariegos]

Instead of sending 13 billion dollar to a war, they should focus on helping the truck drivers, the farmers and the market to make the food system better but no.. just think about war

When I was trying to warn my closest friends about it in 2020 they told me I needed to take my tin foil hat off. Oh well, now they can go panic buy like everybody else and not afford much. Enjoy your rations. I’m so sick of people not listening to others because the news didn’t say so yet.

People dont forget Chine told its population to store food reserves back in November of last year and everybody was wondering why.

And what does the US have to do with Ukraine and Russia pay for everything maybe thats the problem.

Farmers are producing less because of the federal government and all of their regulations that they are imposing on the farmers. Also they are not being paid enough to produce.
America is supposed to be the land of milk and honey but it's not.
It's all about profit.
It's all about how I can get ahead and f everyone else.
But if your not an American the help is plentiful.

Damn I finally agree with Obama! “Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f... things up."

Coming from a farmer in TN I’ll tell you why we don’t grow more wheat. Last year I would’ve been in the negative trying to put out a wheat crop. People think you just put a seed in the ground and you harvest it. No. It takes a lot of resources to put in a wheat crop and prices where they where it was almost impossible.

If only we put as much money into agriculture and making big green houses as we do on things like war, we could/can make all the food we need right here at home. It would add jobs and make us even more self sufficient.

[Schneiw]

Congratulations Dems, You got what you ordered

[rodneynelson]

I was raised on a farm and in 77 years this is the worst I've seen. You better learn to take part of your apt. and grow your own food.

[svndwich]

Ask your legislation, “why did we just print, then give away, enough money to feed every homeless veteran in this country for 3 days, plus some?”

[brainstorm]

Our government pays United States farmers to not farm 🤦🏼‍♂️

[nitac.]

Farmers were forced to throw so much of their crops away during the pandemic now they can't get the food to people.
And you and damn well count on the fact that companies are raising their prices per item like Wal-Mart up to 3 dollars per product.

[bobbic]

Tell him to quit paying farmers not to grow and let them do what they do best! Feed people! Open back up the oil and lower prices so things can get there! It’s his policies causing all this crap!

[Nyckidd]

Theres so much food that already goes to waste in this country 🙄

[United_States_Of_America_]

I think severe food shortages would be the last nail in the coffin for an incumbent party.

The decade of the 90s was the only period of prosperity in America after the last period of prosperity in the decade of the 50s. Between the 90s and now its hell on Earth. There has not been a peaceful prosperous future for the last 25 years in the west for nations beyond their own individual wealthy elites since the start of the Iraq invasion. Perpetual war, these people are divorced from the real world. In the last 20 years never mind the last 25 or 30, we saw the rise of the Yellow Vest movement in France, we saw Brexit, a break away vote from the EU, we saw Greece get economically strangled, we saw drought, famine, climate disasters, recession in all of the European economies, a Great Recession bigger than the Great Depression of the 30s, a Pandemic, we saw the rise of digital currency as a way of not using the Dollar for trade and commerce, and so much more has happened, not to mention western allies abandoned in Afghanistan. We saw Russia bogged down by extremists receiving guns and money from Congress as a matter of policy among Congressional senators and to the average American for losing jobs of no fault of their own, a measly check. We saw riots in every city. Children shot in the crossfire of civil society falling prey to police violence and overkill. We saw barbarism in America...2 million elderly dead from COVID and Nursing Home disasters. We are in an inflation. These elites won’t even do what Nixon did to curb inflation. Why should I believe Elites presiding over the last 20 years will bring peace and prosperity in the next 20 years? You’d have to be a psychotic like they to claim they are worthy of my vote in the next round of elections, assuming election are not rigged, another thing we saw under their watch. We saw the rise of Donald Trump as an expression of how much the elites are despised by the 74 million Americans. Now a food shortage in a country that has ample food. They are not sincere on the words they speak. When they get into power the first entity to get the appropriation of the nation’s wealth is the military, year in and year out, as the only program worthy of government funding tells you something about who they are.
