8 billion souls now inhabit this orb. But that just means there are that many more who will die slow, painful deaths... oh yeah, I forgot: Good morning!
"So the population of the world will not stay at 8 billion for long.
Even if global conditions remain relatively stable, a future of widespread infertility and mass death is ahead.
The clock is ticking for humanity, and the mess that we have created is way too big for us to fix.... "

The human race is nothing but a pimple on the ass of this planet...Humans will have their tick of the clock in geologic time, then we'll be gone. If it's organic...it's terminal.

More dire warnings about Global Worming. (It's worse than we thought!)
"Extreme cold records continue to tumble at the South Pole. Three recent days – November 16th, 17th and 18th – have recorded a daily record, with the 18th plunging to –45.2°C, compared with –44.7°C on the same day in 1987. The records follow the six-month winter of 2020-21, which was the coldest since records began in 1957. "

In his book “Tout ce qu’il ne faut pas dire” (Everything you must not say) published the same year as “Guerilla,” gendarmerie general Bertrand Soubelet wrote: “In the large urban areas of France, there are stocks of illicit weapons that are the remnants of the wars in Central Europe (in the Balkans).
California Doxes Gun owners More at question was whether the dox was intentional. What do you think? The State of California is outright Nazi. What is Nazi? Fascism occurs when industry becomes indistinguishable from government. Both of have captured each other and mated. That is fascism. California and the USA are fascist. Naziism occurs when racism or (something-ism) combines with fascism. Naziism is boosted Fascism. Same thing. But racist, or Woke.

Stay in your zone (Britain), banning flights shorter than two hours (France), reduce the use of fertilizer or outright shut down farms (Netherlands, Canada), and governmentally assisted suicide in lieu of medical treatment or assistance (for the economically unproductive - Canada)
These measures IMO will be trotted out, one at a time in various places, then the pieces rearranged, until all of them are universally applied. The war on people rages on... pffft useless eater, anyway.

When Covid, Russia/Ukraine and"China is a$$ho" threads merge. Geopolitical chess.
"By faking covid lockdowns, China creates artificial supply chain shortages affecting enemies of Russia"
"....Germany has been facing pressure to maintain its defense commitment to NATO while providing Ukraine with the necessary weaponry to fight back against Russia. According to local reports, the German Army has been left with only “two days” worth of ammunition to sustain active combat if necessary."
Seems one of the staple components of artillery ammunition - cotton linters - is sourced by the German military ... from China.
(much like our .mil using Chinese components in our aviation mechs. Brilliant! Rely on a foreign power for defense capability)
"In Germany’s case, that’s due to their reliance on cotton linters from China — a component used in artillery munitions. Apparently, Germany sources this material exclusively from China, and China turns out to be nine months behind schedule on shipping cotton linters."
So, if China closes Harbor Freight during the Christmas rush. Whattya gonna get lfor li'l Hansi?
Maybe some nice wool socks?
"Adding to the embarrassment, “German soldiers are missing all sorts of supplies including in some cases winter socks, pants and ballistic jackets,” says AsiaTimes."

Get all the medicines you need. Now. If you read this book, China Rx, you will understand in part why is important to get now. United States cleverly gets most of our legal drugs from China. According to this book, the vast majority without FDA oversight. America takes on blind faith — stupidity — that the Chinese are honest brokers in the billions of dollars worth of drugs we buy.
In addition to energy, I'm surprised we got in bed with the CCP to the extent to where were are dependent on them for life support medicines. But somebody had to make a buck.
China Rx: Exposing The Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine - by Rosemary Gibson and Janardan Prasad Singh Millions of Americans are taking prescription drugs made in China and don't know it--and pharmaceutical companies are not eager to tell them. This is a disturbing, well-researched wake-up call for improving the current system of drug supply and manufacturing.

Some thoughts after reading about the current deadly Buffalo Blizzard: After a volcano blew up in AD 536, the sun was obscured for nearly two years, only as bright as the moon at mid day.
This was when the Christian Emperor Justinian was trying to put the Holy Roman Empire back together.
Temperatures plunged, there were no harvests at all for 3 years. Massive famines occurred all the way around the northern hemisphere from Ireland to Japan.
There were no records of what happened in North America or the Southern hemisphere, but tree ring and ice core data indicate this was a global event. Wars and pandemics broke out everywhere among the famine-weakened peoples. A decade later, the population of Europe was cut in half.
Imagine the level of social collapse following such an event today. Buffalo is just a local, temporary disaster. Imagine the irony if, after all the man-caused global warming hoopla, the world were plunged into darkness, cold and crop failures. "Man plans, and God laughs."

The navies of Paraguay, Uganda, or Mongolia would turn out a better warship and crew. Not to mention better prepared for a kinetic, shooting war with a near-peer enemy. God help us going into 2023. Our global adversaries are paying attention, even if we are not. God help us. CDR Salamander thread at link.
So what's the deal on the egg shortage? Some days I don't see any at Wal mart, and others I see an adequate amount in Wal Mart, Costco, and the commissary?
The avian flu is still raging to an extent, so it's going to be a bit before the chicken population and egg supply can recover.
We and our neighbors had some sick chickens even and our populations are very well protected and have nice space (not backyard birds). The flu is so rampant across species that few are safe from it. Geese, ducks and smaller forest birds have been dying in droves around here.

Maybe wearing masks will help prevent transmission?
