As 2024 inches to it's last breath...we've been witnesses to events in this year which nobody have ever imagined. Contemplating most people who followed this year's happenings it was just the pre-nups to what is to unfold especially in 2025.
What many don't realize starting from 2022 events happened in systematic manner to not raise panic and make "Wars" a generalized event...so nobody will question what is still building up!
We saw space warfare...nobody questioned it, we saw direct attacks on Nuclear Power plants...nobody questioned it, we saw use of conventional Nuclear weapons nobody questioned it, heck we even saw deep sea warfare...nobody questioned it..
2025 is no party as most already know it's a year of Conflicts & which country holds the Global position!
What most of us will be watching is - Will China trigger the Timeline with it's Invasion of Taiwan...which most of us know practically with a 75% certainity that it will very likely happen in the year 2025...the question is now only the time & place!!

This is what systemic failure looks like in a centralized food supply: one big player collapses, and the entire chain breaks.

A combination of factors including bad weather, tariffs and a dwindling cattle herd are already pushing up grocery prices at an above-average pace. In April, they rose by the most in nearly four years, and economists say the impact of the Iran war and a potential El Niño weather pattern will only add to pressures into 2027.
The hit to US household finances from higher grocery bills is set to intensify just ahead of the November midterm elections, amplifying affordability as a defining issue. And to a greater extent than the surge in gas prices, the slower-moving food shock will be difficult to reverse quickly because the size of autumn harvests is determined by planting decisions made in the spring.
“It’s going to be a challenging year,” said Ricky Volpe, an agribusiness professor at California Polytechnic State ...
