    Faceless scaremonger video that I just came across - puts many words into Roubini's mouth (not sure if it's click-bait), but it makes a few interesting points regarding joblessness and the gradual collapse (I hope it's not going to happen and I hope it will be a "soft crisis" similar to the 2008 crisis).

    The FAMINE is building, but high food prices and shortage of food is coming first:



    Supply chain interruption has caused lower demand and thus, huge financial losses for the agriculture in the US (and not only, just that the video covers the US situation).


    Notice this phenomenon:

    1. due to the quarantine/lockdown, people bought rice, spaghetti, canned food, but less fresh produce, less eggs
    2. restaurants were locked down, less demand for agricultural products from there as well
    3. after the reopening/looseing of the lockdown, people and restaurants kept buying less fresh products
    (because they are consuming their stocked cans and spaghetti)
    4. tourism is down and will be down for a very long time, so less demand for agricultural products (tourism hits very hard)
    5. less people working in huge office buildings, which means less demand for agricultural products from the cantines/corporate restaurants (where people had their lunch breaks, consuming food that's always a lot more expensive than food prepared at home)

    6. surplus agricultural products are being dumped by the producers who can't sell them
    7. many farmers are going bankrupt (because of the losses), but it's rather the small and medium companies going bankrupt, the giants are holding on (this is killing small enterprises, while the globalists thrive).

    8. when the demand will rise again (I estimate roughly 3-6 months starting from now), then there will be less products available - thus, they will cost more
    9. inflation (due to weakening currency) will only add to even higher food prices
    10. famine as a result of food shortage and high prices

    As President of the local Beekeeping Association I'm privy to most enquiries from people looking to get into beekeeping. It was interesting to see a run on seeds, seedlings and chooks during the shutdown and toilet paper runs, but no increase at all for bees, keeping or honey.

    I wouldn't know where to start, and not sure this is really the best forum for it.

    I'd reckon it's probably best to check on any of the multiple groups on Fbook, or talk to your local beekeeping Association.

    Could some one do the math for me on this please?
    Box A - If someone purchased a box of Roos for $6228 delivered.
    Box B - And then someone wanted to purchase a box of Roos for $7928 delivered.

    7928 - 6228 = 1700

    What would be the % increase the buyer would have to pay for Box B.

    7928 / 6228 = 1.273
    27.3% increase

    So, it's measured in silver terms?

    20? I was thinking more like 100+.
    When they lose control.

    Dont buy when it shoots up this time. That's a bad time.
    You want to buy it cheap like everything else.
    Like in the last few years. We can help you.

    The bad thing is that premiums are huge: 30+% to 50+ % in my area.
