Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they’re also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should have food easily, instead it’s a struggle.

    How did the price of oil affect the raisins in the shelf? Why relate the two?

            How is it creating a food shortage? It would be a factor in a price increase not a shortage.

                  What? What do you think I mean by that? I’m making a basic statement about reality that seems foreign to you, not one of those mystical things people say. All of these factors in agriculture are intertwined especially the way in which oil pervades the production process.

                    Bring supporting evidence to your argument. You have just said vague shit the whole time.
