On top of the wheat shortage from the war in Ukraine... July 6, 2022 8:18 pm RL

India’s wheat crop is being ruined by a record heat wave.

I fear we may see great famines in the coming year… Famine will lead to collapse of governments in the 3rd world, which will lead to wars, which will lead to massive waves of refugees, which will be exploited by fascists in wealthier countries to allow fascism to take power.

Pestilence, War, famine… Death… Sound familiar?
