"If you really think that the environment is less important than the economy, try holding your breath while you count your money" - Guy McPherson

The inept, Liz Truss supporting, free marketeer, Therese Coffey, Secretary of State for the Environment, is at it again. Trying to absolve herself from blame for the loss of life and flood damage caused by Storm Babet, she claimed her department wasn’t prepared for the murderous deluge because the storm came from the east and not the west.

 “…most of our rain tends to come in from the west….This was rain coming from the other way and we don’t have quite as much experience on that. Therefore, our accuracy of predicting where such heavy rain would fall was not to the same degree as if it had been.”

Really Ms Coffey! When I last looked the rain fell from the sky regardless of the wind direction. The sad truth is, her department is not spending anywhere near enough on flood defences  despite the whole world knowing rainfall is becoming heavier and more frequent because of global warming.

Successive Tory governments have cut public services and infrastructure funding to the bone and we are all now beginning to pay the price - some of us with our lives.

When pressed by the Commons environment committee Ms Coffey was forced to admit that her department “may not be hitting” its target of protecting 336,000 properties by 2027. So we can expect  further flooding and possible deaths in the future due to Coffey’s incompetencies. 

Coffey has given us raw sewage in our rivers and seas, she has advised people to eat turnips during the fresh vegetable and salad shortage, and for those who cannot even afford the price of the humble turnip she said:

“If you can’t afford food, work harder."  (Mail: 23/02/23)

That was rich coming from Coffey as she personally claimed over £200,000 in Parliamentary expenses between 2019 and 2020.

With people like Therese Coffey in charge of British food production and the environment is it any wonder that much of Britain’s biodiversity is in terminal decline and that food inflation was running at 19.1% in March of this year?

If unelected Sunak continues to promote people like Coffey to positions of power no one should be surprised we are now known as "Broken Britain".

We really do deserve a lot better.

Gang idk if u guys are feeling the effects of the food/general shortages, I know a lot of people are like oh so they only have a few bags of cheese instead of a lot no big deal but it's not JUST the food.

A lot of people are unaffected right now but a lot are as well. I'm being affected especially on the cat supplies and medication front. My cat has to eat prescription food so I ordered from the manufacturer themselves and the MANUFACTURER has none because they can't get the supplies. I've annihilated the local pet stores because I can't get it. I also can't get some of my medications. I don't really have a hack but this is something I feel like all of us, especially college kids, should be watching because if you aren't affected yet, you probably will be soon

I, personally, have been beefing up my garden (indoor and outdoor) from the local greenhouse closing for the season clearance (including seeds), trying to find ways to make my own of stuff I use/consume the most, trying to find alternatives to my cats food, learning to mend my clothes, looking into buying more trays for my family's dehydrator, and starting to trade things locally because when walmart won't have it someone should (I get honey and beeswax from trading).

Like I said, not really a hack but something I'm concerned about and would like everyone to start being a little more knowledgeable and prepared for it if they can be

[ID: Three images, showing small brown and tan eggplant seeds spread out across fine mesh strainers, showing hundreds of seeds. end ID]

August 4th, 2022:

Eggplant seeds,

Solanum Melongena,

Variety "Patio Baby" -- F2 in this case!

Parent plant: $20 F1 plant from Lowes with included tomato cage, grown in original container (for now) with original "soil" (pure coconut coir or peat moss it seems like) replaced with actual potting mix.

Parent plant age: 1 year (bought in spring 2022)

Parent plant garden generation: 1 (2022)

______

And this my friends, is why if you are growing food in your garden, you need to learn how to save the seeds of everything you grow-- and also what you buy at the grocery store!

To save eggplant seeds from your garden:

choose one or two fruit (the more you save seeds from, the more genetic diversity you have) from each plant of each variety you are growing to save seeds from and mark them in some way so you know not to harvest them for regular eating, such as a small ribbon loosely tied to the stem.

Allow the chosen eggplant(s) to remain on the plant (harvest other fruit as usual and keep up your fertilizing routine as normal) until your chosen eggplants turn fully yellow over the course of a few days-- and then wait a week more to make sure it doesn't change color further.

Harvest your fully mature eggplant, fill a large mixing bowl with water, and cut your eggplants In half or into quarters.

Drop eggplant into bowl of water and use your fingernails to scrape the seeds out of the center of the fruits, making sure to get any nook's and crannies, sitting the eggplant "skins" to the side to be composted later.

Repeat this process for all of your eggplant quarters until you have a bowl full of seeds that are sunk to the bottom, and some spongy flesh at the top. Scrape any remaining seeds out of the floating bits, and then, with a Fine Mesh Strainer, slowly pour off the floating excess til only the clean seeds at the bottom of the bowl remain, adding more water as needed to keep the floating stuff away from the seeds-- do this over a bin or bucket so you can reuse this water for the garden!

Once you've cleaned the strainer out of the floating bits, pour your clean seeds into the strainer, try to get them into a single layer, and make sure to put some kind of label with the seeds, and sit them, still In the strainer, in front of a low level fan for a few days before storing in labeled ziplock bags, mason jars, or your preferred seed storage container.

If you need to process Multiple varieties of kinds of seeds with only one strainer, let the seeds sit in front of a fan for at least twenty minutes before transferring them to a labeled paper plate, using the bottom of the strainer to push them flat into a single layer to continue drying out of the way.

Victory Gardens--for family and country. There's no age limit when Americans get down to the business of preparing for a Victory Garden. These youngsters are carefully selecting seeds for the vegetables they'll be growing this summer: carrots, beets, tomatoes, squash. The estimable spinach will no doubt be left upon the dealer's shelves Creator(s): Rosener, Ann, photographer Office of War Information, Date Created/Published: 1943 Feb.-Mar.

"...Some 20 million Americans turned backyard plots into Victory Gardens to ease the food shortage. They grew everything from tomatoes to kale." Courtesy of The Morning Call

Hey yall, just in case you get all your news from ticktock and you never pay attention to geopolitics: a food shortage is coming. It may be billed as simply recession in the US. But if you care, I'd recommend learning how to actually grow some things. With tech these days it's incredibly easy to set up a microgreen station in a garage or shed year round despite local climate, as well as other seedlings that can be started under growlights and transitioned to hydroponics or indoor greenhouse set ups. This isn't doomsday BS, don't build a bunker or anything insane. Just be aware that there's things you can do now that might save a pretty penny later and grocery store prices are only gonna go up for the foreseeable future. That is all.

Things aren’t too bad here yet. If I want to cook and eat really good meat it’s about $70 a week. If Im buying kombucha and body armors I can spend $100 a week on grocery items and veggies. The fucking LCB shut down half of the farm that I work at - I’m starting to think it would be a good idea to grow as much food on that side as possible and then can it all. I need to get on it, it would be great to at least have cilantro and peppers.

LET THEM EAT TURNIPS

Yesterday’s newspapers and digital media were full of comparisons between Therese Coffey and the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette. France then, as Britain is now, was experiencing massive food-inflation, and when Antoinette was told that French families could no longer afford the price of a loaf of bread she allegedly replied, “Let them eat cake.”

Coffey did much the same, the Sun printing this headline:

“LET THEM EAT TURNIPS  Therese Coffey tells Brits hit by tomato crisis to eat turnips instead.” (Sun: 23/02/23)

At one level Coffey’s reaction to food shortages in the UK can be taken as humorous but that would be a mistake. Coffey may not of actually said, “Let them eat turnips”, anymore than Marie Antoinette said “Let them eat cake ”. But what Coffey has said, with not a hint of humour, is her reply to those in England who are forced to use food banks because of increasing poverty. She categorically ruled out:

“… help for farmers and consumers facing higher costs…'it is not the role of government to provide free food’ or to intervene in markets."  (Guardian:06/12.22)

More callous still is her total lack of understanding regarding the plight of poor working families.

'If you can't afford food, work harder': Environment Secretary Therese Coffey sparks backlash by saying anyone who is struggling with cost-of-living crisis should take on longer hours.”  (MailOnline: 23/02/23)

Coffey will not “intervene in markets” because that goes against the free-market economic philosophy of the Tory Party. Unfortunately, there is not a “free market” when it comes to food purchasing. It is the big supermarkets who control the market, who dictate the price paid to producers and ultimately the supply and price of food on the supermarket shelf.

Energy price increases have led to higher costs for UK growers of salad crops and the supermarkets have chosen to go overseas for supplies rather than pay UK producers. Bad weather in the overseas producer areas has then led to a shortage of certain crops and hence food rationing in UK supermarkets.

All of this is understandable and, in as much as the supermarkets are trying to keep prices as low as possible for the consumer, commendable. What is totally unacceptable is the government’s total lack of planning and support for UK producers when it comes to food security.

Thanet houses the largest glasshouse growing complex in Europe and historically these homegrown salad producers supplied the majority of our supermarkets. This year, a year of massive energy price increases, the Tory Government has decided NOT to support these growers.  Instead,

“The government seems to be more interested in getting retailers together and talk about alternative sources for produce in the future rather trying to support British growers...” (Farming Today This Week: 25/03/23)

Clearly Therese Coffey has NO plans or strategy to secure food supplies for the 70 million inhabitants of our small island. We have seen industry after industry disappear from our shores because of rigid Tory adherence to “free market” principles. Over the last decade 600.000 jobs in UK manufacturing have disappeared. We cannot afford to let this happen to our food production.

Therese Coffey, rather than telling poor working families to work harder if they want their children to eat, should concentrate on her own responsibilities and devise a plan to guarantee food security within our own borders rather than rely upon a non-existent free market.

We all know what happened to Marie Antoinette. If there is any natural justice Therese Coffey will suffer the equivalent political fate.

NewsWire· 21m * UK GOVERNMENT ‘REASONABLE’ WORST CASE SCENARIO PLAN SAYS WIDESPREAD GAS SHORTAGES IN WINTER LIKELY IN EVENT RUSSIA LIMITS GAS SUPPLY - TIMES *6 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS FACE ELECTRICITY RATIONING, CONTROLLED BLACKOUTS DURING PEAK HOURS ----- NOW DO GERMANY!! The US and EU politicians are so stupid. They cannot think one step ahead. It was predictable. As soon as the demented old moron Joe took office, what did he do? Right! He destroyed the energy independence in the US. My fellow Americans, prepare to face a shortage of diesel this fall. Truck drivers will go first, of course. You will be waiting in line. Those, who has no idea what the Carter administration looked like, will have an opportunity to experience those "glorious" times.

I lived through Jimmy Carter's gas crisis! I was a driving teen and we would run out of gas standing in line. I lived in Florida at the time and we struggled to put food on the table. I became anemic! What the answer to anemia, MEAT!

The usual suspects claim it's not happening, not based on facts.

If truckers can't afford to run their trucks they can't deliver the food. We were in the trucking business, and my husband hauled flatbed, steel, and lumber. All of our friends own trucks, one is a milk hauler out of Ohio that delivered Milk to Walmarts in Florida.

How much do you think that gallon of milk is going to cost? And still, that senile old bastards are going to push electricity? Really!

Companies were adding a fuel surcharge to deliveries, but it doesn't cover the cost of fuel. Owner Operators need to pay enormous truck payments. They can't run older trucks because of all the regulations.

Also, older truckers are retiring and saying F**k this S**t! Were done! They have offered drivers as low as 18 yo positions, but our younger people are too damn lazy to try to make a living.

Mc Donald's and Burger King need deliveries too! Not everyone can work there, and people will not pay the price. What does that lead to? Like the carter admin, we all stayed home and ate beans and potato soup.

Does it sound depressing? It is. That's why I'm pushing you to stock up and be prepared. I personally know what borderline starvation is.

Fight back, use your voice and tell congress you are mad as hell!

Thank you, Anon, that felt good!

Love, JD 😜💋

Plant Potatoes For Food Security

Plant Potatoes For Food Security

In the current times of food shortages, a great way to have a little food security is to plant potatoes. If you happen to have any potatoes from the grocery store that have sprouted, they can be planted. You can even cut the potatoes to where each piece has at least one sprout on each piece and each of those pieces will produce many potatoes that can be dug after the growing season. I plant…
