Want to start mass riots? Create a food shortage. (5:33 min)

(On edit: the title above is my comment. The video doesn’t talk about riots, but in my opinion it’s not a stretch. Food shortages started the Arab Spring riots.)

Farmers say that if Trump admin goes through with their plans, the prices of food will not only skyrocket, but the supply will dwindle down to the point where we could see massive food shortages.

I’ve mentioned that if you proceed with mass deportations you could create famine to a few people.

They’re talking about breaking the agricultural logistics supply chain at harvest, distribution, and processing.

And like most things—once broken it could be really hard to put back together.

We’re about to experience what being ruled by ignorant fools is like. May we all survive it.

For a while, there is a global famine coming, for many reasons this being one of them. Another is that climate oriented disasters from drought, wildfires, wars, flooding, heat and wind, all the areas where food production takes place are getting nailed. This has been going on for a while too. A lot of the places where food is grown has depleted soil leached of nutrients...

It's not a good outlook.
