Silver Spike...

Some of the newer forum members get a little over-excited at times.

To the people who have recently joined the forum between 2017-2019, take a deep breath and calm down.

Consider respecting the older members who have been around these parts a long time, who are likely much more knowledgeable on precious metals than yourself.

Also... anyone who thinks King World News is a credible source has obviously not been in the industry very long :D

That is why in my LINK to KWN I emphasised their PUMPING MANTRA.

I'm seeing heaps of it, and not just on this forum.

It's like people are happy to pull just a few words from a sentence and wildly misinterpret the point you were making.
Or they're trying hard to find a way to be offended by nothing.

Perhaps more emojis and words spelt with numbers and single letters like "c u l8r" will keep the Gen Y's and Millennials attention span strung out just long enough to read a paragraph in its entirety ?

I didn't respond at first as I've never heard of Mongolian beef. Don't think you can even find this in China. A quick google reveals that it is a Taiwanese dish.

Here's a link to an article on food inflation by Chinadaily which is Chinese MSM.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201906/11/WS5cfeeb15a310176577230664.html

Food inflation has affected Asia significantly over the last 10 years. You may not feel it as the price of grocery in Australia is cheaper than in China and wages are 5-10 times higher.
 
Mongolian beef is delicious, it's one of my favorites.

As for cat, there's no way it can be passed off as beef or lamb. It's a white meat that's almost exactly like rabbit. It's surprisingly nice.

That is amazing isn't it? And with Pig Ebola adding further price escalation fuel, the Chinese now ramping up consumption of Kenyan donkeys, food prices globally can be seen increasing. You know it could just take another round of bird flu to see chicken and duck populations start to be slaughtered. Global food crisis potential appears to be increasing dramatically...

Good timing for the USA that this is happening to China. Trade war and all. Very fortunate timing. Yes imagine a bird flu out break coming very soon that would really push things along.

I had not heard of this before. What I find most disconcerting is how close to reality these movies are. Vaccines today are so comprehensively administered. We would have no idea what extra immunity is added or vulnerability created. Indeed we are at the mercy of the individual mindset. Just one person who thinks they should determine the outcome of many.

I don’t think it is timed. China has demolishing million of acres of farmland to build apartments and factories in recent years. Shanghai used to have a lot of farmland. Pudong was farmland not too long ago. The focus had always been on economic development, copying hi tech ip and profits at all costs. There is no control on the usage of pesticides, growth hormones and antibiotics (be it on farm animals or people) so insects and bacterial develop immunity.

Totally agree with your points. Although China isn’t the only country exploiting the soil as an inanimate object. A devastating maize/corn virus could strike at anytime. There will be no winners from these outcomes however they may arise. But as you point out China is probably digging a hole for themselves faster than anyone else. No disputing that fact.
 
As long as they have dogs and cats they will be fine. The animal shelters in America are full. Trump could work out one heck of a deal.
 
they have asses AAAs
they cut down those donkeys

the summer is not there yet, what's going on down under ?
