    Russia did it

    The deaths add pain to the U.S. cattle industry as producers have reduced herds due to drought and grappled with feed costs that climbed as Russia's invasion of Ukraine tightened global grain supplies.

    Capitalists and globalists trying to make nature regular and predictable (for investors) and ignoring local conditions.

    It's Kansas; it should be buffalo there.

      Yeah but we had to nearly exterminate all the buffalo to drive out the indigenous people :shrug-outta-hecks:

    Fucking thousands? If 1000 humans died in a single state due to a heat wave, they’d be calling for the governor’s head over inaction. I’d say they’d have received federal aid in natural disaster relief, but it seems less likely the federal government will ever actually do anything to help people
