Would you look at that, #ev 's are not going to be #tax #exempt from 2025-2026 due to an estimated #tax #shortage of 2.1 #billion #pounds https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/uks-je.. This means that the *only* people that had *any* #benefit from this #tax #exemption are the #rich , #funded by the #poor . Anyway, I still believe that #electric #vehicles in their current form are a #mistake and will not work.

As far as I'm aware, #india have still #export #banned #rice , which they supply to the poorest Countries in the world.Interesting, it seems like the #eu may be starting to #win the #energy #war with #russia https://youtube.com/watch?v=uGjBtNu2rZs As a result, it appears as though #russia have begun #sabotaging #infrastructure in #europe to #reduce their #capacity . As the #uk already stated, any #state #caught doing so will be considered an #actofwar , which would create a while new #crisis .
#germany is in for a *very* #cold #winter as a #gas #shortage is expected to hit the #eu , meaning there is *none* at *any price:* https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/g.. The #uk is also in for the same deal, but little #preparations are made here...
Well damn, a #rice #shortage is now coming: https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/st.. This adds to my increasing #concern that there is going to be an almighty #food #shortage .
Interesting, the #us is apparently purposefully creating a #dollar #shortage , driving up #demand externally whilst #printing it like crazy internally: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-cre.. The #us #dollar #demand comes from people wanting to #trade in a " #stable " #currency , although it gives the #us enormous #control .
#fertilizer #shortage starting to #worry #farmers and their #crop #yields https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/al.. Is it time to start #panicking yet? If we lose the #food #supply , we really are in trouble...
#canadians now #striking because of the #shortage of #fertilizer , a #critical part in #food #production https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/30.. This may be the single biggest problem in the last however many years, and I count in that #covid and the 2008 #financial #crisis
And so the #wheat #shortage begins to affect the most #poor people: https://www.theguardian.com/global-devel..
And the #chip #shortage is now really affecting up-and-coming #hardware #devices - now in the #retro #games #consoles #industry https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/11/p..
Apparently some #bmw #vehicles will be #manufactured without #touchscreens because of the #chip #shortage https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/5/22765.. I say: "good"! #displays in #cars are nothing more than a #distraction - especially as half of them come pre-loaded with some old #android ( #security #risk ) with crap #apps like #facebook and #twitter ...

Apparently this is in aid of curbing their own #food #inflation internally! Things are *very* bad!
Looks like #apple are finally being hit by the #supplychain #shortage for #chips https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/apple-.. Looks like it's not even possible to buy your way out of the problem right now...
More #supplychain issues will now cause a #magnesium #shortage - a #metal that is used in things like #chassis and even #aluminium creation (to create an #alloy ): https://hackaday.com/2021/11/01/magnesiu.. Bare in mind, large #cabling uses #aluminium - many #electronics #devices use #magnesium - this is really quite a large problem. We need better #decentralization of #supply already!
There are no #shortage #comrade https://www.lotuseaters.com/why-there-ar.. Watch this space, #christmas will be worse.
Well shit, the #uk #supermarkets are now using #pictures of #food instead of actual food to fill #shelves https://www.theguardian.com/business/202.. Nobody is talking about it yet, but there is an almighty #food #shortage that is about to happen!
Oh now, now I'm #worried - apparently there might be a #coffee #shortage https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/pr.. Of all the things...
