Just in time for most critical planting season since the 1930s- let's restrict fertilizer shipments!

All according to the plan ..
Yep. First they poisoned and held the "air ports" for 19 years.
This is exactly the plot of Atlas Shrugged. Government-bedded rail deliberately creates arbitrary restrictions that have no benefit but coincidentally destroy harvesting ability. They specifically set an arbitrary limit on how much each train could carry. I used to think Rand was off by making railroads the backbone, but she was more prophetic than we give her credit for!
Wow. Read it a long time ago, need to re-read.
Interesting
Really? I got only about 25% of the way through that shockingly poorly written book (A Rand just could not write to save herself), but now wish my stomach was much stronger. The ideas are fine - piled on with a front-end loader, no idea about style or subtlety - but there's something wrong with every sentence, and the dialogues, oh, my.
I haven't been able to find much on the CEO of Union Pacific Corporation, Lance M. Fritz. From the stories on him that I saw, he changes his political opinions a lot and appears he could be an easily controlled patsy. More interestingly is the largest shareholders of Union Pacific, who are the Vanguard Group and BlackRock. Those bastards are everywhere.
Theyre all in. Or theyre out.
We need them all to be in graves.
The railroads may not have been given a choice. All the govt has to do is say that inspectors feel your current operational level and volume is in violation of safety and send a list of new requirements and just about an business would comply. A lot of business owners are hesitant to take strong political stands because which political group is in charge constantly changes so you don't want to piss off either side too much. The best bet is to try to fly under the radar while trying to appear to stay with the main crowd overall. THey have PR departments to help them with that.
For those who haven't yet, I foresee you have about four months left to buy two years worth of food and ammo for your family.
I did something this week I've never done before and ordered 4 lbs of dried eggs for cooking. I haven't seen the 25 lb bags of sugar for a while, it's on my list.
Not by conspiracy, simply action and consequence.
Also filters for water, a means of self defense, and medical supplies. As people get hungry they'll get dangerous
How's the famine coming along?
I've been thinking about getting the dried eggs and dried milk. I have basically everything else.
I would suggest also getting the tools and supplies (rennet?) Needed to make cheese. There have been shortages.
(And make sure you have seeds frens).
Just 2? why bother?
Im not gonna kill anyone over some boxes of shit ramen.
7 years of darkness?
Real preppers are beyond the icewall or in greenland ready to hunker down for centuries if need be.
Then some new boss comes out to rule the world with different "better" laws "for the people's good".
Probably an estimated guess with how much we're hearing from globalists about the great reset, planned shortages, inflation, and so on. It all appears to be planned, and it's definitely headed in that direction. Most of my family is purchasing more food storage on top of what we already have. It definitely feels like things are going to keep getting worse. Being prepared is always a really good idea, and food is a necessity you can't live without, so...
Hi Zap, sorry for the delayed reply, been really busy lately over here on my side.
Growing season ends in 4 months my friend. We've got good ol' Bill buying up all the farm land while encouraging alt meats for everyone. Bird flu and fire destroyed chicken processing plants. Then, the Federal gubmint is paying farmers to not farm this year, why, who tf knows. Throw in a sprinkle of Ukraine war not making/distributing fertilizer, and only 1 potash mine in North America, it's going to be a bad harvest this year. Yeah, you'll still be able to find "most" things, but do you really want to buy what's left at triple inflation price? Don't forget the maunder minimum cycle and 56% myocarditis deaths over the next 5 years.
btw, I did find the 25 lbs sugar and 50 lbs flour I was looking for. I bought 100 lbs of beef 6 months ago before those prices went too.
Stay safe friends.
what is your exact address?
Half purposefully half they hired and promoted nutcases that cant get over the military and a ton of dumbfuck college kids that dont understand the industry but are too smart to learn or listen to people that do.vesting and getting out was the best thing I ever did in that epotimy of hostile work environment.
My dad used to work at Union Pacific as a senior mechanic. He repaired and maintained the engines. He had a lot of stories about corrupt and incompetant assholes failing upwards into management, due to how corrupt the union was, so I don't doubt the same happens with the senior staff.
Yes.but slow enough to bleed you dry first.
Yes. there are way too many people in the world anyway. that IS being realistic....but we should find a way to be responsible about breeding, and talk to people about it. not try to just secretly eliminate people or make them sterile without them knowing about plans. that's just wrong.
so when are we going to start seeing the effects of this? people are still driving around and buying stuff like HELL. nothing is really happening. when is society gonna start feeling the effects of this?
9 mo production lag + 3 mo supply buffer so... 12 mo?
Isn't there like 3 years grain reserve in the America? Or did Obama destroy it?
I'd guess it's 6-9 mo. We consume about 12bn corn and had about that in reserve before we began drawing upon it over the previous winter.

Good info. And that is aside from the push to use corn for fuel/ethanol.
Guess you haven't seen the price increases.

Don't worry, Americans have enough stored body fat to survive for years without food.
The real danger will be the social unrest from people who think they're starving.
Union Pacific is effectively a quasi-governmental agency.
Nuclear power is the best and safest we have (aside from alt science/free energy stuff). Modern coal plants have good scrubbers, as well. We actually need a lot more nuclear plants. Maybe in the current year with the supply chain issues, it would be problematic, but back in the day, plants would create amazing jobs for an entire town. And somehow they had the intelligence and abilities to deal with supply chains.
With more nuclear plants we would have had much cheaper and reliable energy and a great job market providing for families, but environmental globalists had to shut down the industry. The stuff that was destroyed is a tragedy.
I think the issue you have experienced sound like more of the bureaucracy and govt and corporate corruption surrounding it. I've seen the same issues with gas corporations.
Agreed. Nuclear is the way to go until we develope fusion. However, it's being regulated out of existence because of how good it is. No new plants are allowed to be built, and existing ones are being shut down. Most people are woefully misinformed about nuclear because the media is misleading them. It's not dangerous and there are a shitload of safeguards in place with modern reactors.
The biggest problem with nuclear power, the waste, could easily be solved too. Most countries don't recycle and reuse their spent fuel rods. If they did, they could use up nearly 98% of the total mass of the nuclear fuel, with the rest being converted to energy. Instead we stupidly use them once, and sit them in cooling tanks with our thumbs up our asses. That's how the Fukushima plant in Japan leaked radiation. It wasn't from the reactor, it was from the spent rods just sitting in the cooling tanks. I think only France recycles their fuel rods, and they get the majority of their electricity from nuclear power.
Hell, we even spent billions of dollars developing the Yucca Mountain complex, a repository for spent fuel under a mountain and in a salt deposit. It was completely finished and perfectly safe, but Obama nixed it under his term as president. It certainly adds to the evidence that the cabal are building underground bases to survive some kind of looming catastrophe, especially with all of the shortages lately, like they're stockpiling everything for themselves.
what do you suggest we use?
Coal and oil work great and are cheap
I agree, but nuclear is good too. The problem is how misinformed people are about it, and that we don't recycle our spenf fuel rods. Nuclear is being regulated out of existence. There's nothing wrong with it. It's all political.
they pale in comparison to the energy potential of nuclear, then leading to fusion. and modern nuclear power plants have smaller reactors that can go underground, and don't even "meltdown".
the fear mongering about dying from nuclear fallout, has worked. it's all political
I'm about to plant sunflowers. They're one of the easiest sources of fat you can grow imo. Fast is among the hardest things to prep since it rancid in a few years
I put a few bucks on $ZY a coupple of weeks ago, it's a long shot and it's tanked since but they are supposedly partnered up with someone on some synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. Urea = DEF => shortage of Urea cuts off the last mile of supply chain for everything going to big box stores being that diesel semi trucks with diesel particulate filters which rely on Urea for regen cycles and will be shut down via engine computer if they are out of Urea and the computer thinks the DPF is clogged.
I was wondering why myself.
This is what I found: Rail cars are not being unloaded fast enough (labor shortage) that UP says they have to limit traffic in order to clear the lines from stagnant railcars and will begin metering railcars to speed up the process.

edit: Looks like Krako beat me to it. I'll leave this here anyway.
This article goes into it in more detail https://www.fox5vegas.com/2022/04/15/fertilizer-company-complains-about-railroad-shipment-limits/ A little more complicated then Mr "Durden" would have us believe. Also I work in the produce industry and this daily news letter has a lot of good insights into the industry https://theproducenews.com/ Big story right now are the trucking delays at Texas border from Abbots stupid stunt. He reversed the decision that was causing delays but the damage to supply chain was already done and will take months to catch up.
all west coast ports will be re-nego'ing their union contract end of may.
and so far, it aint lookn too good.
Looking good if you work there.
FOUND THE FED.

There was some kind of shut down in Canada, as well. Not sure if they are running again at full capacity or if there will be more strike and closures this year.
