There is no famine. Nor is there going to be a famine. (Edit: In the US, which was the context of the news story, the comment, and my response.) We're discussing news of 2M chickens being killed and not processed into meat, which while unfortunate, is in the context of the over 20M+ other chickens eaten every day in the US.
The sheer disconnect in scale between the news story at hand and your paranoid comments is mind boggling.
- FindMySocks 6y agoNah man, he's not referring to food. He's referring to that delicious crack. So moreish. Supplies are limited now though, so we're gonna have a crack famine the likes this world has never seen!
- bpodgursky 6y agoThere is absolutely going to be a famine: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/world/africa/coronavirus-hunger-crisis.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/world/africa/coronavirus-... It won't seriously hurt Americans (we have money, surplus, and net food production), but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The point isn't that this is a catastrophic amount of chicken right here, but that it's indicative of a general degradation of supply chains that will predominantly hurt the global poor, and lives will definitely be lost.
