Looming food shortages is the next ‘slow-moving disaster’ to hit world

Food prices are already skyrocketing. Some — a lot — of this comes from inflation caused by runaway government spending over the past two years.

Every day is doomsday. According to the news.

Remember the guy who wrote "The Population Bomb" in the '70s. Said we wouldn't be able to feed ourselves in another decade. The world's population has quadrupled since then. BTW, he's still saying it today. Hasn't learned a f-ing thing, and apparently, neither have we.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — It used to be that visitors would browse through Bakhmut’s late 19th century buildings, enjoy walks in its rose-lined lakeside park and revel in the sparkling wines produced in historic underground caves. That was when this city in eastern Ukraine was a popular tourist destination.

No more. The longest battle of Russia's war has turned this city of salt and gypsum mines into a ghost town. Despite bombing, shelling and attempts to encircle Bakhmut for six months, Russia's forces have not conquered it.
But their scorched-earth tactics have made it impossible for civilians to have any semblance of a life there.

“It’s hell on earth right now; I can’t find enough words to describe it,” said Ukrainian soldier Petro Voloschenko, who is known on the battlefield as Stone, his voice rising with emotion and resentment.

Voloschenko, who is originally from Kyiv, arrived in the area in August when the Russian assault started and has since celebrated his birthday, Christmas and New Year’s there.

The 44-year-old saw the city, located around 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Russia’s border, gradually turned into a wasteland of ruins. Most of the houses are crushed, without roofs, ceilings, windows or doors, making them uninhabitable, he said.

Out of a prewar population of 80,000, a few thousand residents remain. They rarely see daylight because they spend most of their time in basements sheltering from the ferocious fighting around and above them. The city constantly shudders with the muffled sound of explosions, the whizzing of mortars and a constant soundtrack of artillery. Anywhere is a potential target.

That’s why everyone is leaving this state. I had 8 people at my company transfer out of state. I’d love to see the numbers over the last 3 years.

What confuses me is why there seems to be little, if any, recognition in Albany of the exodus.

I guess it's a classic case of stupid is as stupid does...

When the tax base disappears they’ll figure it out. I’m counting down the days until I can get out of this state.

Leftists are brainwashed to think their morals are superior. That's what leads to pursuing agendas that are unreasonable despite evidence to the contrary. It leads to them saying things like "If you don't agree with us you're not New Yorkers and should live somewhere else." Both this one and her predecessor said that, marking the end of representative government in this state and accelerating the exodus.

So yes, stupid.
