Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they’re also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should have food easily, instead it’s a struggle.
You are so incredibly mean.
That wasnt mean, it is genuine concern. I dont know how to talk to you, you dont make sense to me.
I actually have mental health struggles. I take meds every day. I’m at baseline. When someone says “seek help” and I’m fine it’s insulting and demeaning. I’m doing nothing wrong. You’re being rude to me. This whole thread is about a food crisis that a lot of people on here agree is happening, most in fact, and you are in denial of their experience with this aggressive rhetoric. If you think oil production is unrelated to food production there are better ways to express yourself on that.
I understand your grievance and that is fair, I apologise for being rude. I sincerely believe that you have not said anything of substance regarding the ties between oil and food shortages. I am not denying a link but I am questioning the strength of the link, which you implied was very strong.
Food shortage, I do not know your experience in your region but it could be the case. Generally speaking when logistics increase on costs, so do the prices on staples like food. It isnt the case that food would become scarce, at least not at this level of increase.
