Yes, and will continue to do so even if it’s at higher prices. What in the world do you think is going on here? Do you think the US is going to run out of food or something because prices are a little higher?

Food production will decrease, and even moderate increases in food prices mean many people unable to afford enough food.

We’ll be alright. We handled it in 2022 when Russia (who is helped and supported by Iran by the way) invaded Ukraine. The world didn’t end when gas prices were crazy high then, we just kept chugging along.

The price of fuel is irrelevant.

That contradicts your earlier statement but that’s fine. Does the price of fuel matter or not?

How exactly does it contradict my earlier statement?

If you can't get oil, you can't grow food.

Fuel doesn't come into it.

You won't have fertiliser.
