If it ain't one thing, it's something else ...

What with this new fangled virus killing off the Chinese and
the locusts killing off the African food supply, and so the Africans,
it makes me wonder what else is lurking in the wings.
Hopefully it won't be the sight of four horsemen coming over the hill
or a bunch of flying insects nibbling at the neighbors roses.

What all the free food has done is put the ag economy out of business. They grow veggies but that's about it. Woman formerly with the World Food Program gave a talk and I asked her if there was any acknowledgement that it was one of the primary sources of corruption. The Dirty Little Secret was her reply.

I was in Liberia in MAY18. I cannot but believe that American farmers could feed HUGE numbers of people with the soil and climate there. At night, I am pretty sure I could hear stuff growing.

Of course we could feed huge numbers if WE farmed that land. And THEY used to feed large numbers -- until politics intervened and they drove the productive, large scale farmers off the land.
