Food riots thread…and energy.

I talked with a couple of gentlemen who were guests of the Japanese during WWII. They told me that they had to feast on rats every day of captivity.

I asked them what it was like to eat a rat. They said it was just like eating a squirrel.

I'll take the squirrels and rats over this stuff any day.

Truly, more "Food Riots"....

SHAMBHU, India, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Indian police fired tear gas and water cannons on Wednesday to scatter thousands of farmers trying to stage a protest march to Delhi after they rejected a government offer on prices for their produce, prompting an offer of fresh talks.
The farmers, mostly from the northern state of Punjab, have been demanding higher prices backed by law for their crops. They form an influential bloc of voters Prime Minister Narendra Modi cannot afford to anger ahead of general elections due by May.

“Overall, currently about 43.4 Million acres are foreign owned. Maine is the highest with 21.1% Of all their land is foreign owned,” said Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Mike Strain.
In Louisiana, a little over 8% of our land is foreign owned, mostly by Canada. But the main concern is countries like China, who were referred to as potential bad actors.

You will remember this when China tells you "You will like eating worms".

Montana Farmers Union President Walt Schweitzer, came across the study while researching the Right to Repair in the United States.
The interim study resolution led to the Economic Affairs Interim Committee inviting Montana Farmers Union, Frontline Ag Solutions, Torgerson's LLC, and Montana Farm Bureau to attend a March 4 hearing.
"You guys are not naïve," Schweitzer exclaimed to the Committee. "You hear all the time how data is being hacked. That data is hack-able. Much of these tools that are being built, have been built by China. So they have a back door to this data."

Bribes and lies to reduce food production in America.

WASHINGTON, April 11 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's administration is offering farmers money for adopting practices that store carbon in the soil to fight climate change, but Reuters interviews with soil science experts and a review of U.S. Department of Agriculture research indicate doubt that the approach will be effective.
Farm practices like planting cover crops and reducing farmland tilling are key to the USDA's plan for slashing agriculture's 10% contribution to U.S. greenhouse gas emissions as the U.S. pursues net-zero by 2050. Ethanol producers also hope those practices will help them secure lucrative tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) passed in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

It started with the attack on nitrogen fertilizer. Drive up the input costs and the only thing we will be able to afford to eat will be bugs. Those antifa fucks are probably attacking the chicken farms from upwind as well.

Chatter showing up on shortage or discontinued "old" prescriptions that worked just fine and were low cost.
Replaced by very expensive alternatives that insurance / Medicare do not cover.

no money to be made in the cheap stuff; for anyone. They don't care about you, just their bottom line.

There is no profit in generics. It’s a volume game.

Once off patent the primary mfg is usually out of the product in 10 years.

If there is a discontinued “working” product it’s because there is a newer more effective, less side effects, less drug interaction product available.

No one stops making products that are profitable.

not always true
"If there is a discontinued “working” product it’s because there is a newer more effective, less side effects, less drug interaction product available."

the newer product, is just under gov protection. So, they are back again to producing something at a higher margin.
Take Freon R12.. effective as hell. Discontinued because everyone was making it, and Dupont wasn't making a profit anymore.
Dupont, makes R134, pays politicians, to say, R12 is evil and we must use R134a to save the world. Dupont makes $$$. 10 years later, patent wears off.
Enter the world of 1234YF. Ahh, new patent, new protection, pay politicians, make $$.
Don't worry, in another 10 years, another new world saver will be found.

Having the industry hamstrung with generics at zero margin stagnates advances in medicine. There’s no ROI so investment houses won’t fund research.

Not saying old stuff doesn’t work well but especially on the drug front some of these new drugs are almost miracles for terminal or chronic conditions.

if you are taking spelling and grammar serious on a website known for its tits pics you need to get out more

It’s longer to fix in a phone than it is to write the post.

So what ever is sent is sent

You say the old stuff still works but its market availability as generics impedes the ROI for the new stuff. That generics that are cheaper and could be used across all income spectrums needs to take a backseat to newer drugs that are priced out of the market of a lower income demographic. It may be miraculous (doubtful), but if only those that can afford it or those with insurance have it approved can get access to it how miraculous is it really? So those who can’t afford it suffer. All in the name of ROI.

You just showed how erroneous our medical system is. But it does explain the ivermectin fiasco and how people died because of others chasing money.

If there is no ROI how do you run a company.

Over the last 4-5 years we got out of the “generic” calcium / Tylenol product market.

To grow the company and increase revenue the infrastructure needed to increase the same amount as changing markets is cost prohibitive.

So I could just sit there and loose market share and make less money or move on.

Think a company can make money and stay in business just making generics for “poors”.. not happening

Thanks for admitting it and proving my point. Carry on.

If you point was how to sell products at market cost and go out of business…then glad I helped.

But then we have this thing called reality…
