Interesting webinar AGRICULTURE: COVID-19's Impacts on U.S. Food and Agriculture Webinar https://extension.purdue.edu/article/36961
ReplyDeleteJayson Lusk, head of the Purdue University Department of Agricultural Economics: “eggs destined for restaurants are shipped ‘on big pallets,’ and are not in the typical cartons people are used to seeing in the grocery store.”
“This is just one example of how complex the food system is and how the C-19 pandemic is impacting the supply chain. Most companies can accommodate a gradual shift, but when you try to shift the entire system overnight, it becomes almost impossible.”
And very costly. The massive uncertainty caused by tyranny makes it impossible to even have an entrepreneurial inkling as to how to proceed.
Good luck Robert. Give 'em hell!
ReplyDeletebtw, check out these great healthcare professionals out of Bakersfield. Common sense all around. Two parts. The first is a bit lengthy:

Here are some excellent tidbits:
"We're not wearing masks. Why is that? Because we understand microbiology, we understand immunology, and we want strong immune systems. I don't want to hide in my home, develop a weak immune system, and then come out and get disease"
"Are you smart enough to know what's safe for you or is the government going to tell you what's safe for you. As soon as they use the word safe, that means 'control'..
"They are using this to see how much of your freedom can they take from you. And will you rollover and stay in your house. And it's working"
"When you're a little child crawling on the ground, putting stuff in your mouth, viruses and bacteria come in. You form an antigen antibody complex, you form IGG, IGM... this is how your immune system is built. You don't take a small child, put them in bubble wrap in a room and say "go have a healthy immune system"
