    I do not believe any of these "accidents" are a matter of bad luck or statistical corrections. This is planned. One food processor in the east had a small plane that missed the plant and only hit the truck fleet, and then a week or two later became shut down by fire. I believe the evil ones are willing to starve us into submission.

    And its easy enough to verify. Look at the historical record. Taking it back to 2016 should be far enough. That should give us at least 4 years of data before things started going sideways. Or to be safe, take it back through at least one of Obama's terms so its not as partisan. (or at least appearing to be)

    Easy enough to calculate and chart the frequency of fires.

    I suspect that's a coincidence. The only zealots willing to go kamikaze would have put out a manifesto to tell us all why they did it.

    But the rest are HIGHLY suspect.

    Has anybody in the US been unable to find food to purchase/eat in 2022?

    Waistlines say that hasn't been an issue.
    Yet.

    Start poking holes in a tire, and it drives fine for a while. Just like if you start poking holes in supply chains. Both are fine until reserves are gone.
    Or another analogy. We're the deer that a kid with a .22LR is shooting at. 5 successful hits behind the vitals and we're still bounding away through the forest thinking we are OK. Doesnt mean the deer is going to be OK in an hour. Or days if its not bleeding out and ends up dying from sepsis.

    Not every attack yields instant results.

    If the railroad unions go on strike this Friday, that could produce a sizeable hole in the supply chain(s).

    I've only been involved on the poultry side of things. My family raised 40k chickens at a time for Perdue back in the late 70s and early 80's, when that was a sizeable flock.

    Even then it was normal to destroy entire flocks if any birds got infected. Domesticated animals have little genetic diversity and tend to live in very tight quarters, so diseases spread *very* quickly. That's one reason your food has so many antibiotics in it (the other being poultry puts on meat faster with less food when on antibiotics, but I don't know why).

    Lizard people aside, why would for profit companies and farms destroy flocks? JRemember the angst over baby formula and how they were going to starve your children for compliance...how many babies starved in the US? Now you want me to consider this is some plot to starve us yet we're still a nation of giant fat asses and starvation deaths outside of neglected children and extremely mentally ill people are simply not a thing here and flock culling hasn't and won't change that.

    Revisit this in 12-24 months and it will be another Chicken Little moment that's forgotten as the new Great Catastrophe looms.

    I think you are assuming these plant fires are self sabotage. I think we are thinking more along the lines TPTB destroying 3rd party facilities, not the owners DIY. You are right. Except for occasional insurance fraud, they have no motive.

    It's available but can you afford it? What about those on retirement incomes? What about 2 months from now? It hasn't been an issue ....... yet.

    I do not have enough background in farming or livestock to know what is normal or abnormal. A drastic increase in burning, blown up or otherwise disabled food production plants is something that I can understand and worry about.

    I am better off in retirement than many. The routine $75 grocery list that is now $125 and the $50 tank of gas that is now $75 is taking an extra chunk out of our wallets.
    Not to mention our local electric utility is raising rates by 12% as of August 31st. It's because of "rising fuel prices". Thanks Brandon...

    I’ve been hearing about these fires for most of the year, it seems. Are there charts out there comparing the numbers, year over year?

    Last Sunday Walmart in Owensboro was totally out of Miller Lite cases. Unacceptable! I have a beer belly to support. :cheers:
    I feel your pain. My local Kroger was out of the 1.75 liter bottles of Jagermeister for 2 or 3 weeks. Even my local Walmart was out! I had to go to a CVS to find one. :drama: I guess this could go in the First World Problems thread. :):
