food fight

French Farmers Grow Angry



Farmers riot in part due to the French decision to use food as a weapon against Russia, and in part due to the failing industrial business model.

Quote:

French farmers unions organized a nationwide day of protest yesterday, staging demonstrations in villages and cities across France. Thousands turned out, expressing their anger at collapsing prices (due in part to sanctions against Russia), increased environmental regulations, cheap imports, and high costs. They took to the streets, dumping tons of produce, flinging manure on government buildings, burning effigies, and throwing apples at riot police.

Just wondering how related the above is to this prediction:



The pitchforks are coming

What sets me apart, I think, is a tolerance for risk and an intuition about what will happen in the future. Seeing where things are headed is the essence of entrepreneurship. And what do I see in our future now? I see pitchforks.
