The agriculture run-off destroys everything is its path.<br /><br />In both examples, fishing, especially from fuel-dependent boats, is winding-down toward unprofitability... part of the 'food cliff' mentioned during discussions on the excellent blog by BisonPrepper James M Dakin.<br /><br />If this thing gets going, say 'goodnight' to the coastal cities and resorts.<br /><br />John Wilder makes another intriguing point:<br />The numbers of border-jumpers is increasing because latinos and latinas see their homelands as increasingly unsafe.<br /><br />So, instead of fixing their problems, they cowardly run away. And so goes 'the land of the brave'.LargeMargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530497760743766465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-78166369019190716512019-07-10T05:36:56.738-04:002019-07-10T05:36:56.738-04:00Point taken on "coastal cities".

That is exactly what you wrote.<br /><br />It morphed in my mind to the Megalopolis from north of Boston to Savannah, Georgia and pushing up into the Piedmont regions. Then it mutated into the states that host those cities.<br /><br />I threw in Chicago because they think being on the south end of Lake Michigan makes them coastal.<br /><br />Apologies for the misreading.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-64321753141102256362019-07-09T23:55:03.311-04:002019-07-09T23:55:03.311-04:00Okay, I've started to put pencil to paper now ...Okay, I've started to put pencil to paper now that I'm back from vacation . . . and I have some results that I'll toss over the fence to you, probably tomorrow for a Friday or Monday post.<br /><br />Angantyr, there is a really good video about air resupply of Stalingrad by TIK over at YouTube. It actually worked fine at another location, but he explains why it didn't there.<br /><br />But I said coastal cities . . . and explicitly said non-coastal wouldn't be supplied. And, outside of the cities? Things would be grim.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317597809710979689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-3216757838761166402019-07-09T12:15:25.688-04:002019-07-09T12:15:25.688-04:00Resupply by air shipment?
