Yep look at the soy export market. After Trump's last fiasco on 2018 and Biden not reversing the idiot, Brazil has replaced the U.S. as the top exporter in the world.

It amazes me how little population migration there has been in africa. Discrete groups remain isolated from each other for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. Everywhere else, population migrations and genetic mixing has occured regularly.
A rapid increase in labor cost plus low prices. Now that's a recipe for a fun party in bankruptcy court.
Double them up wait a month for the U.S. stock and commodity markets to absolutely crater.
20 survivors * 10 or so generations.
So inbreeding coefficient is around siblings for the entire population.
The areas where they overwhelmingly voted for the orange dumbass are in for a shock. Here is a list of the products that canda has put tariffs on.
Combined with a strong dollar that's a huge blow to U.S. agriculture and manufacturing. FYI U.S. Agriculture is in the worst overall depression of the past 50 years. The strong dollar has basically has given the entire industry a beating.
Tech tends to goes through stages:
A need or idea is created. Usually by a small independent entity.
A proof of concept is developed and starts to gain ground.
Investors pour money into the concept to an extreme degree. Tech grows in functionality, matures and develops into a useful tool.
The the investors demand a return on the investment and the money dries up.
Company either goes bankrupt or their product goes to shit.
I have a friend who grew up on the coast and her family always sailed for fun.
When she got divorced she bought a sailboat and traveled for a bit in it. She then parked it at a marina and lived in it for so many years close to her kids and grandkids. She paid $100K for boat and her marina fees were $300/month. The boat was paid off with the divorce settlement.
The cheapest 1 bedroom apartment to rent nearby was $3500/month for less square footage than her boat. The cheapest small house was around $1,000,000 or around $6000/ month at the time. The homes around the marina were all priced at several million dollars.
It will grow up to be a magnificent steed to ride into battle with. Ask the Mormons about them the next time you see them.
Off topic but I wonder how many of those navy drones Taiwan is looking at developing.
They would make any invasion fleet China sends a new reef on the bottom of the sea.
The larger impact around the globe that Ukraine has done with these drones will be felt for decades. A few converted fishing boats carrying these have the ability to sink ships of the most powerful navies in the world .
Ukraine definitely needs to hold on longer. They also should maintain the aggressive attacks on oil and fuel facilities. Reducing those facilities to ruble will strangle Russia's ability to generate income for the next decade.
Ukraine needs to blow up more oil storage and refineries.
