What? What do you think I mean by that? I'm making a basic statement about reality that seems foreign to you, not one of those mystical things people say. All of these factors in agriculture are intertwined especially the way in which oil pervades the production process.

Everything is connected.
There is a broader crisis at work you should really be aware of. Watch 'Collapse'. It's a great documentary centered on the work of sustainability activist Michael Ruppert that gets into this.
What are you talking about? It's a major factor. I didn't say it was the only factor.
Literally agriculture depends heavily on oil.
Agriculture depends heavily on oil.
Yeah around there. I'll check it out.
If I don't starve before then.
What argument do you think I'm making? I posted about some things I was going through, was clearly looking for general advice (not debate), got name-called and demeaned by one person out of nowhere while others gave normal advice, tried to make the person aware that they were violating the tone set forth in the post, got attacked further, tried to fight back and what - now I'm in a debate? I didn't sign up for a debate session or a roast. This is obviously a vulnerable post and should be pretty easy to follow suit with the other commenters who posted normally. Not everything related to constructive criticism is about debate. You can provide constructive criticism without offering debate per se.
You keep adding parts to your comment. Just make a new comment.
I've turned inward plenty. It's valid that I feel gaslit. I should trust my instincts.
I'm referring to shale oil peaking. That's the only reason oil production has increased in the United States recently - shale oil production increasing massively over the last decade. I saw something that seemed to indicate the US shale oil peaking which would be a major factor in food production going forward and may have spooked the markets and thereby disrupted supply chains. What do you think I mean by 'factor' or 'depends heavily on'? When someone is brainstorming it's common courtesy not to get all dismissive and degrading, also basic decency.
