Price increases and shortages

Did you Know that wind turbines fall apart and are not repaired?
Here is one not 50 miles from my home.

PHOTOS were sent to me in July, 2021, but this has sat there, broken, for many months.
Recently, I spoke to a man from Lithiania who said, after 20 years of living near them in Europe he saw the same thing in Europe, they fall apart, no repair.
How would you like it if you had a blackout and your electric company didn't fix it?

Wind Turbine Blades Don’t Have To End Up In Landfills

In this blog post, we will examine land-based wind turbines and the recycling opportunities that exist but are not yet widely implemented for the turbine blades.

Did you even KNOW that they were GOING into landfills?!?!?
People that have been forced to live underneath/near these things sometimes sell their properties at Great loss bc the drone drives them crazy, or they get sick. Livestock young born close to these cheapo pinwheels from China, like cattle and baby chicks, are born deformed. When the blades spin too fast, the solution is to dump the extra electricity into the ground.
And it goes.....????????????????
Kinda like lightning bolts.

My Ducks point is that these are NOT mature solutions ready to replace oil, natural gas or nuclear power.
The way it works is our Federal Government in their INFINITE WISDOM, allows the international companies, who own the "Wind Farms" to lease to locals and ALL OF THEM get kickback "subsidies" from our tax money.
One report from a lessor close to my county, $62K/turbine/MONTH.
The company gets their own kickback/month.
We live next to a 48 turbine 'Wind Farm." YOU do the math.
It's all a slush fund, and these things are made no better made than jack in the box toys.

Kill birds and takes energy to build them.

Pet food is getting absurd here. A 7 pound bag of Purina cat food runs about 24 dollars now. It was $13 a few weeks ago

I have 2 cats and their can food went from 52 cents to 62 to 65 to 75 cents a small can. Since I only have 2 rabbits I was buying a 10 pound sack off of Amazon and the price doubled.

Have you tried Chewy? Sometimes they are cheaper

I use Pet Supply plus, lot of times get premium dog food at 50% off.

It’s the manufacturer not the sellers who have jacked the price. We’ve checked about 4 different places.

I ordered a pallet (750kg) of chicken feed in early March because I realized that the costs of grains, fertilizers, and transportation would only keep increasing. Ordering a pallet will get a 15% discount and one free pallet. After one week, we didn't receive the shipping notice. Usually, the shipping notice will be sent within two working days.

We called them and realized they were shocked: suddenly there were close to 100 pallet orders, and their cost increased terribly. The owner said they had to shut down their website urgently.

We are one of the customers who ordered very early, so we will get our feed next week. However, from now on, the unit price will be increased, and the 15% discount won't be available.

The situation might get worse, so we'd better keep preparing.

@Phaedra Geiermann i store feed in metal trash cans. If you have no mice or rats, you can use the bigger plastic trash cans with lids.

The President warned of a world wide food shortage looming. You know what that means…
