Anecdotal and I'd love to be wrong about this, buuuut I'm in the rural midwest rn and all of the wheat fields in like a 75 mile radius from me look like they're absolutely fucked.

It's basically all turned gold already which is super early for it, especially because it's still short as fuck, like maybe a foot tall — it's usually still green until it's like 4 feet tall. The people who've lived here for a long time have been talking about how abnormal it is. I'm not a wheat scientist and haven't really gotten into with anyone who knows what they're actually talking about so I don't totally know what it means, but I know it doesn't mean anything good

Prob a good idea to stock up on food if you've got the means

    I wish I were a lot less paranoid honestly, but I’m right just often enough, if only by accident, to keep me paranoid XD. Also 'paranoid" isn’t exactly the right word but I don’t know of one for overcaution that really works without the implication of literal conspiracism or delusions of grandeur “they’re targeting me, specifically, I know too much!”

    Lmao right there with you, I call it historical materialism and/or the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism and/or Cassandra syndrome depending on how I'm feeling that day

    Thanks for sharing your read on the situation and the implications of the shitty harvests — that answered a lot of questions I keep forgetting to ask around here and a couple that I didn't know that I had. And weirdly makes me feel a bit better, that it'll be bad but hopefully not catastrophic.

    Glad you decided to join us in the posting mines comrade, hope to catch you around more! :rosa-salute:

      It's easy to be right all the time. Just only take positions on the safest/surest claims. I was right about Trump running, Trump winning, long COVID existing, COVID's euro-strain being harsher than the Chinese one, and the vaccines doing fuck-all for long COVID.

      Actually I made a prediction back in 2018, from listening to the conspiracy nuts and then doing a bunch of research on the yield curve and its inversions, and what that means for bonds vs stocks. My prediction was that there was gonna be a recession around 2019-2020, and there was (I couldn't predict COVID though)
