Also Russia and Ukraine are two of the largest wheat producers for APAC, ME, Europe, N. Africa...2022-3 already shaping up to be a third year of suck... Also, though I get the political/fiscal pressure wrangling on the Russian government, I have mixed feelings as our company shutdown operations in Russia... Apparently firing all employees there...as I said, there are no winners in war.
After reading dnoodles post I called my local coop for prices on 50 # bags of urea and potash. They are close to doubling in price since last year. Probably will be at least double by the time I buy some. Glad I'm not a farmer this year. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk
Coinbase blocks wallets linked to Russian users. Wasn't one of the pre-supposed benefits of crypto, geopolitical neutrality....
Coinbase is a US-based company...and let's just say as such, is probably amenable to requests by the Government to make sure they are not dealing with OFAC-ed individuals- such as erstwhile Russian oligarchs. Also, I'm sure this has something to do with it: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/cryptos-slide-news-biden-sign-crypto-executive-order-week
American Express Suspends Operations in Russia, Belarus, as had Mastercard and visa, Paypal also ... TikTok Suspends Livestreaming, New Uploads in Russia (what will all those kids do now )
$200 bbl oil is a possibility ..... O'Biden best pull his head out of his ass and open the spickets, and I dont mean the emergency back up stuff either
kind of a rant, but as I am sure it's related to inflation- anyone else notice that liquid detergents (shampoo/laundry/dish) lately seem to be watered down by about a third? Packages stayed same size, I am sure we're being shorted on the formula percentages. and prices still gone up by as much as a dollar (at least on my shampoo and dishsoaps.)
why does UKR want us/Europe to give them old Russian MIGs? We've given them thousands of SAMs and MANPADS and they can just launch them completely indiscriminately not having to worry about friendly fire. Their own ground troops will just end up shooting them out of the sky, there's no way to discern between the 2 sides from the ground.
I know what's going on... Just calling out the epiphany the rest of the world is now going to have... Pretty sure there is already hints to this effect as the fed was able to get crypto $ back from some prior 'bad guys'..
Why? They are only trained to fly migs... I suspect they realized a need for air to air, maybe an offensive move and/or to take out convoys....
why I NEVER buy gas at any "Family Express" .... now $4.39 at most in area ... went up .40 today !! ... others down the street still 3.95-3.97... I wonder now, how much of this crap is price gouging .. Gas Buddy crashed, no longer can get on to check prices ...
