#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 ...

This is because the #nitrogen #fertilizer is #produced in part as a #byproduct of the #gas production #process ...It just doesn't stop... #china is now imposing an #export #restriction on #fertilizer - which will have massive #ramifications on #food #globally https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ch.. 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...
As expected, the #us are now looking at an #aluminium #shortage next year unless something changes: https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/us.. Stronger #leadership is needed, #biden is doing a poor job of managing this situation.
#india now hit with #power #blackouts as the #energy #crisis continues to spread, with a massive #coal #shortage https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/india-f.. This is not going to get better any time soon. Some #industries cannot even take a one day break from #electricity without having some multi-month #delay in #production capability (think #chip #shortage ).
#food #shortage incoming: https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/du.. Turns out now the #netherlands is hit by the #energy #crisis and is turning off #greenhouses in order to cover the gap. This will be big!
Very interesting #discussion #article on #hackaday about a coming #copper #shortage and some potential #solutions to the #problem https://hackaday.com/2021/09/30/the-comi.. As I understand, unless something changes *fast* - the #price of #copper will only increase in the near #future ...
I wondered about this too, it looks as if #china 's #energy #crisis is going to cost a #global #food #shortage as they compete for sources of #protein https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ch.. Add to that global #shipping issues, rising #oil prices and #failed #crops - this is a #perfectstorm !
