Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they’re also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should have food easily, instead it’s a struggle.

    What? What do you think I mean by that? I’m making a basic statement about reality that seems foreign to you, not one of those mystical things people say. All of these factors in agriculture are intertwined especially the way in which oil pervades the production process.

      Bring supporting evidence to your argument. You have just said vague shit the whole time.

          You came back here after two weeks to make more nonsense statements, hoe is that me going after you? You reopened dialogue and are now complaining.

          You said something, made a claim and just have acted like it is some sort of common knowledge generally accepted certainty of life. You have not made any sense.

            I think you are part of that other completely different culture that is now colliding with ours and we just have no clue how to talk to you people and you have no clue how to talk to us. You seem very rude to me. What makes sense to you and which you take for granted seems completely nonsensical to me, and vice versa. I don’t even know where to begin. It’s like you’re speaking a different language entirely.

                    I actually have mental health struggles. I take meds every day. I’m at baseline. When someone says “seek help” and I’m fine it’s insulting and demeaning. I’m doing nothing wrong. You’re being rude to me. This whole thread is about a food crisis that a lot of people on here agree is happening, most in fact, and you are in denial of their experience with this aggressive rhetoric. If you think oil production is unrelated to food production there are better ways to express yourself on that.

        I’m confused. What do you want evidence for? Seems like various common knowledge being mentioned. And why do you think I’m making some big argument? I’m trying to have a broader discussion, more like brainstorming, not a debate. Why all the fuss?
