If most of us had the means of production of food, we'd be having a very different world.

A Compounding Storm, warns that global food costs could climb 5% in the first half of 2027.

This crisis would serve as cover for whatever additional inflation large producers and grocers can put on top.

Also:

The U.S. has been using its oil reserves to weather shortages caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure. China is doing something similar in the face of a food crisis: It’s leaning on its fertilizer and crop stockpiles.

That places China in a better position — a more resilient position when compared to the U.S. The U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins says this makes crop yields a matter of national security.

Would this block the release?

What policy failures is Venezuela being held accountable for? Who and under what authority is holding Venezuela accountable?

Incredible

Bloomberg reports that big global investors like BlackRock, Carlyle Group, and Blackstone have spent the past year selling office towers, warehouses, and malls for much less than they paid. Their retreat is adding fresh pressure to China’s already struggling property market, a sector that plays a huge role in the country’s economy.

Won't someone think of the multinational investment firms..

Yes baby!

Tell me which stocks to sell.

FTFY

A Washington Post poll found that 61% of US Jews believe Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, and 39% say it is committing genocide. Among the broader American public, 45% told the Brookings Institution they believe Israel is committing genocide, while a Quinnipiac survey in August found half of US voters share that view, including 77% of Democrats.

This is an important shift.

The US draining brain in all directions.

So that's what the A stood for!
