Experts Warn Food Shortages And Price Hikes Getting Worse With No End In Sight

The Ship Is Sinking Now: Experts Warn Food Shortages And Price Hikes Getting Worse And There Is No End In Sight

Susan Duclos

We'll begin here with a direct quote:

“Suddenly, we're not only short of gasoline and diesel, but we're short on fertilizer, which is going to lead to a big food shortage, probably. The most vulnerable in society, both in the West and in developing countries, are going to face huge problems over the next couple of years because of a physical lack of food and very expensive food, if you can get it, or very expensive fuel, if you can get it. And that's not going to bode well for a lot of governments. - Richard Masson Executive Fellow with the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy

While we do not "eat" fuel or gas, it is absolutely critical to our ability to obtain food, clothes, electronics, just about anything that can be purchased at a store, must be delivered to that store to begin with...usually by truckers, who must have gas.

That is a simple, undeniable equation. 

Then we look at the recent warnings of upcoming shortages of diesel fuel, diesel exhaust fluid and diesel engine oil, along with truckers explaining issues they are already experiencing, not just with high prices, but being stranded on the highway waiting for gas because a station was out of diesel.

Individual states are hearing dire warnings from Farm Bureau specialists, reported on locally while the national media is more focused on political maneuvering, and protecting the Biden regime from their own policies.

Two specific quotes from The Morning Call:

•A Lehigh County farmer recently called Kyle Kotzmoyer and said something like “I’ve got a tractor hooked up to my corn planter out here, no diesel fuel, and I can’t afford to get any.”

• “We have reached that point to where it is very close to being a sinking ship,” Kotzmoyer, a legislative affairs specialist for the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, testified to state lawmakers Tuesday. “We are teetering on the edge right now.”

Not only do truckers need fuel to transport goods to the stores, but farmers need it to cultivate the food in the first place.

The issue of gas prices and fuel shortages will inarguably all lead to more severe upcoming food shortages, increasing the pressure on the supply chain, and as we saw from the quote at the top of this article, will last for years to come.

That is something the MSM either ignores, or reports on then buries the story as they rush back to focus on the J6 committee, or the Russia/Ukraine war, or anything that they feel can influence politics. Focusing on the pain and suffering of Americans because the Biden regime is more worried about abortion access  and gun grabbing, is not exactly part of their agenda.
