Mississippi River going dry
« on: October 19, 2022, 08:11:36 AM »
https://www.deseret.com/2022/10/15/23404374/mississippi-river-drought-economy-agriculture#:~:text=The%20Mississippi%20River%20is%20experiencing%20a%20severe%20drought,in%20October%2C%20which%20is%20known%20for%20these%20drops.

The river’s water levels have fallen so far that barge and boat travel has become unsustainable for companies.

Boats and barges are running aground and getting stuck in a sort of traffic jam, resulting in a backup of over 2,000 barges, said the U.S. Coast Guard.

Austin Golding, president of Golding Barge Line, told the Wall Street Journal that lower water levels “puts into question our viability and long term dependability.”


This ain't helping any economic recovery.

Interest is up and the stock market's down and you only get mugged if you go downtown...

The words of the prophet Bocephus are coming to fruition.  :D
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It's a global drought

Water levels are low in many places..some historically

Tigris and Euphrates rivers are two that have some concerned over there

Our Midwest is becoming a dust bowl

Some of it is mother nature and some of is us trying to control the waterways ..

Yes this will not help any recovery but add to it in several ways imo

Could be global warming too. I wonder exactly how much the temperature has gone up?

I must have missed that, all I ever see are dire predictions about what's to come

Add water shortages to fertilizer shortages and you have famine and starvation

Will all those deaths be blamed on Putin too or will the rest of the world take blame pushing for continuous war and profit instead of peace

Putin started the war by invading a sovereign neighbor.
Putin could end the war tomorrow simply by withdrawing his troops back across the border to Russian territory.

Yeah, it was the rest of the worlds fault they forced Hitler to do what he did.  Poor Hitler was merely a victim.

No matter how many decades go by, boot-lickers and their descendants never change.

So anyone who wants peace is now a Russian boot licker...

Got it!

Sounds like some brainwashing has succeeded!

As no talks have even been mentioned...how do you know what the terms would be?

All I know is more war isn't the answer for Ukraine or any of us

Anyone who wants peace without Russia completely withdrawing back across the border to Russian territory (pre-2014 boundary) is a Russian boot-licker.

Or should Hitler have been allowed to keep Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, France?

Wan't it about 100 years ago that a British politician tried to appease Hitler? How did that turn out?
