Enough of the Covid threads already !

[shortbox]

I see the cry babies are complaining again about what is posted on Agrislly because it doesn't fit with their conspiracy laden antiscience views on covid. LOL

I know most of you antivaxer covid conspirators don't like to be challenged by different views and prefer a small echo chamber of the like minded ill lnformed fanatics.

But unless you are in favour of banning free speech, people will post what the hell they want whether you like it or not.

In other words if you don't like the heat get the hell out of the kitchen.

Nobody here wants to ban free speech, we just wish that you would speak somewhere else. lol lol lol

For some on here talking about covid is the place they go to vent, basically let out their thoughts and hopefully relieve some stress. I don’t care if you are pro-vax or anti-vax both side are dealing with human beings under allot of stress these days and need to have an outlet for emotions.
I’m grateful agriville provides that that place to do that.
It’s the same thing in the (real life) coffee shop, most (if not every) morning there will be a conversation about covid, it’s a big topic in the world right now.
For me I understand that Covid 19 does affect my farm and my opportunity to market crops and buy inputs, I like to see new developing trends and lots of times I get my first heads up from something someone says on this site.

I don't want to talk about the covid thing but it has woke people up to the world we live in. I never understood why" just in time" makes any sense from an enduser point. If any event comes along you could have your system disrupted for days. Down time, restarts etc.

Never understand why graincos don't want the storage , look at what they are paying now, they could have grain to move and the world would be fed. Why endusers don't build the storage to avoid the peaks is simply astounding to me. Can't pay 10 bucks last year with good crops and are now begging for crops at 20????

These are people with university degrees , economics degrees.

Don't have a chip manufacturer in North America....so they shutdown a multi billion dollar auto industry for something that weighs half an ounce and you could fit enough chips for a vehicle in your pants pocket.

If covid doesn't teach anyone about supply chains then we really are in deep shit.

bucket, that conversation was lost 30 yrs ago when jobs and manufacturing were farmed out to china and the people were sold the line thats good for the economy which is a service sector now. They bought it and voted for it.

The covid lesson here is people are boiling frogs. They will take any amount of pain if its introduced slowly enough. Some will even crave the pain, demand it, call for it to be increased. Human nature is eternal, some want to be lords, many more want to be lorded over.

bucket,,, yes, it's teaching me those same things, but it's also teaching me,,, just how much of the cream farmers have been missing out on, over the years,,, over the decades.
Anyone seeing retail grocery consumers rioting in the streets???
The majority of the higher farmgate prices is merely a shift in return from "everyone down to line" after the farmer's grain drops into the pit, from them, back to the farmer.
