Kobe comes along just economic Devastation supply chain disruption around the world and never goes from a hundred and thirty-five 276 million people. You think it can't get any worse, then the breadbasket of the world is shut down Ukraine. Now the longest bread lines in the world. The number is now jump from 276 million people. The 350 million people march and starvation. Not knowing where the next meal is coming from because Ukraine alone through enough food to be four hundred million people. Now, compounded with the fertilizer prices, the fuel prices, I could go on and on its all bubbling all around the world. The world is in serious trouble. Right now when this whole War started everybody was focusing on the Eastern front and I was like we got to get down to Odessa, we got to get those pork chops. If we don't get these porch open, you're going to have hell on Earth. And that's when I tweeted to poop and say that you don't open these ports. There will be famine across the world and show the go. She ate it with many friends, coming to the table because I don't care if your lover hate Russia, you got to have their food and their fertilizer, the world right now is in big demand fertilizers in food. If we're not careful, we will have a shortage of food by the end of this year, or the food price will be so high. You'll have destabilization of Nations that will result in Mass migration, which will cause a thousand times more than what we're talkin about. We were expected to announce famine in Somalia fridge down because it had 45 back-to-back seasons of drought, 40 Years of unprecedented, no rain the United States, Germany and other donors, stepped up a magnificent ways, and we've been able to write words of birth family, but we definitely have postponed it. But they are facing unprecedented climate impact and not just then we can go to other areas, like the Somali region of Ethiopia, don't Tire Horn of Africa, parts of Kenya. And then you get into western Africa, having droughts in the impact. We're looking at food production in Africa being down already looking at food production down in India, Argentina, the United States, I can go on and on.
