Supply Chain Shortages and Inflation

There is a potential source of cheap fertilizer. Partially treated waste water is full of the nutrients farms need. Usually that water is just going to go through further treatment, then be dumped into a local river. If used for fertilizer you can create an income source for waste water treatment, and may be able to reduce or eliminate the use of taxes to fund such treatment.

They are using it already, but problems exist with what is in city sewage systems. It can pollute local water sources and expose people to all kinds of chemicals. There are companies selling it as bagged compost. Don't buy bagged compost without checking the sources and what it is made of. Our big source for this is large cities, but their sewage treatment plants are really just seperating solids from liquid. To be safe, compost has to reach around 150-160 degrees F to sterelize bad bacteria. Still probably won't change all the chemicals in it. Imagine how many chemicals end up in city sewer systems, drugs, estrogen from birth control. It can be nasty.

I have no proof, but I'm guessing some of these mass eColi contaminations in vegetables from California were from exactly this practice.

Yeah, to do it right it has to be properly treated first. That means using bacteria to break down those chemicals.

Buy meat in bulk, grow your veggies. No more fucking around.

Already started on the veggies, making sure I got enough so to can for the winter into spring. I already buy meat bulk. I have a cold storage fridge that is full of pork, cow and chicken... About 100 lbs each.

That being said, has anyone noticed that milk doesn't stay fresh as long as it used to?

This is the Way

Maybe due to it taking longer to reach the store? We go through a gallon every other day, so it doesn't have time to go bad here.

My local radio station said there is a critical shortage of baby formula right now.

Yeah, it's been going off the shelves like hotcakes here... normally bought in bulk by Indians and sold at their stores for a major hike in price.

We had one last three days before it went bad, and it wasn't even close to the sell-by date... just seems like it's harder and harder to get good milk... I can get it straight from the farm, but they thicken it with starches, which doesn't make me really happy with it.
