Now We Are Being Told To Expect Food And Diesel Shortages For The Foreseeable Future<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

\"\"<\/a>If you think that the food and diesel shortages are bad now, then you will be absolutely horrified by what the globe is experiencing by the end of the year.\u00a0 All over the planet, food production is being crippled by an unprecedented confluence of factors.\u00a0 The war in Ukraine, extremely bizarre weather patterns, nightmarish plagues and a historic fertilizer crisis have combined to create a \u201cperfect storm\u201d that isn\u2019t going away any time soon.\u00a0 As a result, the food that won\u2019t be grown in 2022 will become an extremely severe global problem by the end of this calendar year.\u00a0 Global wheat prices have already risen by more than 40 percent since the start of 2022, but this is just the beginning.\u00a0 Meanwhile, we are facing unthinkable diesel fuel shortages in the United States this summer, and as you will see below there are \u201cno plans\u201d to increase refining capacity in this country for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

But that is precisely what we are now facing.\u00a0 One young couple in Florida searched stores in their area for four hours\u00a0and couldn\u2019t find anything<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

When Erik and Kelly Schmidt, both 35, went into a Central Florida Target store this week to buy their usual baby formula, Up & Up Gentle, for their five-month-old twins, they found an empty shelf.<\/p>\n

The pair then embarked on a half-day journey in search of formula, any formula, and their quest didn\u2019t end there. \u201cWe spent over four hours going to every Target, different Walmarts, different grocery stores, just finding absolutely nothing,\u201d Erik Schmidt said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
