I don't think you understand how delicate and easily disrupted the national food supply chain actually is. Get to know your local farmers as soon as possible, between this and the fake bird flu "outbreaks" (where they use high-cycle PCR tests as an excuse to cull thousands of chickens if even one shows a (false) positive result) we're witnessing a war on animal-based food. Support local farms, raise your own livestock if you can, prepare for shortages and increase your food security wherever possible.

Depends on the farmer. Some are welfare queens who would pump their granny for a nickel. Others bust their asses and get fucked over by the banking and commodity markets.

Are you actually unaware of the existence of small direct-to-consumer farms with good farming practices? Do you think every farmer is just part of fucking Tyson or what? Your "all farmers bad" reductionist stance makes you sound very ignorant to the real variety of choices that exist out there.

Wastewater engineer here (chemical and process). An accumulation of putrescible waste (cow shit) will lead to the generation of a hazardous gas atmosphere (explosive) if stored for a long enough time that methanogens can convert it into methane gas. This could have realistically occurred in the milking barn/shed, although the auto ignition temperature of methane is 540 deg C, so good luck getting electrical equipment up to that point. It's far more likely that electrical equipment not rated for hazardous areas to NFPA 820 or IEC 60079.10.1:2022 were not used in the shed and spark provided the activation energy for the explosion rather than "hot" electrical equipment.

Here are some links to human waste explosions as an example:

- https://esemag.com/wastewater/uk-wastewater-plant-blast-killed-four/

- https://www.icheme.org/media/10163/xvi-paper-18.pdf

- https://conferences.aquaenviro.co.uk/proceedings/sewage-sludge-drying-a-review-of-fire-and-explosion-hazards-over-the-last-decade/

corporations want your kids to be trannies so consumption remains static. It is mathmatically impossible to keep up with the rising demand of abillion+ middle class. It isnt about people, it's about consumption/production. The rich and powerful give zero fucks if africa has 3 billion people, but they lose their fucking minds when they see china and its middle class being larger than the entire population of the united states.

so you must give up your burger. you must lower your standards of living so that they may be shifted to china and india. and if they can convience you to do this willing (eat the bug :DDD), then they can make money and be treated like heroes like their narcasitic egos demand.
