Quote from: K-Dog on Feb 17, 2024, 02:26 PMYour gangs won't know what to do with the farm which can't grow anything without fossil fuel inputs.  The soil is sterile, it will take several years before live soil can grow crops.  They have no fucking seeds.

That is an entirely different problem.  Not just the gangs don't know how to farm without fertilizer and seeds purchased from Monsanto, neither do the farmers.

Again though, this won't happen overnight.  Just like the military will bring Food from the Farms to be rationed out in the cities. in the first year or two they'll bring fertilizer and seed from Monsanto production facilities to the farms.

This stuff will start running out in a season or two, and the people still left will start saving seeds and shit for fertilizer.  They'll also be burying a lot of bodies.  Great fertilizer.  But of course, still less producton the next season, more fighting, more starving, more killing, more dead people.

By the 3rd season, 95% of the people are dead.  Your land won't be as productive, but fewer mouths to feed.  At some point, equilibrium will be established.  Everybody is not gonna die.  This is not an extinction level event.  You seem to believe everybody will starve.  No.  At 99%, wild critters will be all over.  Plenty of rats running around.  They make good eating.

The homo saps will dwindle down exponentially.  Year 1, 1/2 the people dead.  Then half again next year, etc.  I would guess by 5 years, 2⁵=32 or 1/32nd of the original population is left and it will stabilize.  Roughly 97% die off.

You heard it here first.

The ensurfication project is failing.  Who kouda knowd?

The legions of unemployed that Elon so graciously handed over to Trump's ungrateful, grifting carcass aren't stampeding toward rural farms to break their backs for starvation wages. Who kouda knowd?

They won't be that desperate until crops rot in the fields.  The geniuses at the Heritage Foundation, in their infinite, spreadsheet-driven wisdom, somehow failed to figure this in. More time at farmerama might have been a good idea.  But why would they do that.  Egos like harvests don't wait. Same as crops do not give two shits about project 2025 libertarian fever dreams of a disposable underclass.  Crops ripen on their own time.

But, when you're a frothing Christian fundie with more daddy issues than a megachurch parking lot, reality is not part of your equations. Your specialty is twisting Christ's message of radical love into a boot stomping on the face of the poor.

Because nothing says "love thy neighbor" like watching them starve while you smugly quote Ayn Rand. 

He-Haw, bring on the four horsemen.

Close to 1,000 demonstrators crowded into downtown Oxnard the evening of June 10 to protest increasing reports of federal immigration agents operating in Ventura County.

The protest, announced on social media on Tuesday, began in front of Oxnard City Hall at 7 p.m. with a few hundred demonstrators, swelling in size over the next hour. Around 8 p.m., the downtown demonstration was joined by hundreds more protesters that Oxnard police say marched over from an earlier event on Saviers Road.



Strawberries today, but how many people want to pay $5 for 1 carrot.  The orange one does not how how much 1 carrot costs.  The orange one has never bought groceries.

Get ready to go hungry.
