Re: Schiff was right, they going for price controls!
I've wondered about this. Ravij's indian water problem article triggered it as well.
It's the chicken and egg thing.
Do we need to increase food production to feed a growing population, or is the population growing because we have increased food production.
I know that the Indian population has exploded since the 1960s. Has this been due to the water intensive practises over there creating more food.
I am for a more natural organic way of producing food which will increase the price dramatically. This means that there is less money for the fire industries in the monthly pay check of course. mmmmm... I wonder if there is a connection.
That reminds me of that Elizabeth forgotten-her-name law professor going on about how food was a bigger expense in the old days whereas fire was a lot smaller. Food is more discretionary (steak v mac cheese analogy), but a mortgage is not.
This also reminds me when my grandfather died in 2001, my mother found his books for the household expenses from 1951. At that time, they had three children. 50% of the monthly household budget went on food. Around 10% on the mortgage.
Maybe food is a bubble, like FIRE.
They have to grow more and more to get the price down so the FIRE industry can rob and rob. Of course, more food might mean more people, so to continue keeping the price down, more food has to be produced. This exponential food/pop growth is devastating to the natural environment. How long will it be before the environment says "up yours pal" and we have a world food crisis / and banking crisis. That time might be now.
It's amazing isn't it that when we look at environmental/health problems (I believe the two are strongly connected), the breadcrumbs always seem to lead to the banking/money system.
Environmentalists never seem to bother with this issue though.
"It is obligatory to double production as by 2050 the world's population will increase tremendously," said
Kanayo F. Nwanze, president of the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
