I read an interesting theory that since Russia was kicked out of SWIFT, the West can't track how much fertilizer and food exports they've made nor to who. US farmers are going into the next planting season without the usual info for planting estimates.

I've been reminded about a book called The Manipulated Man, written by female author Esther Vilar. I have read it couple of years ago, and still have it somewhere, and it was the most brutal take on the situation between men and women. No man could have written it like that. I highly recommend it. It will blow your mind with how brutally honest and to the bone it is.
Over time, plasticizers leach from the #plastics, which allows the material to deteriorate into potentially hazardous organics and #microplastics. Now, a team led by Christo Sevov, the principal investigator of the study and an associate professor in chemistry and biochemistry at The Ohio State University, has found that using electricity to permanently affix those chemical additives can prevent such unwanted reactions.
