"The Wall Street Journal is now describing this as the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.
CNBC calls it the biggest oil supply disruption in history.
Saudi Arabia has now cut its production of oil.
Iraq’s production of oil is down to less than one-third what it was before Trump started this war."

"The president did unveil a new purported justification for the war today in his rambling press conference at his golf thing.
He said, quote:
'We’re doing this for the other parts of the world.”
We’re doing this for the other parts of the world.'
It’s actually hard to argue with that one. That one might actually be true."

"Wars are not decided by social media posts or gut feelings. They are decided by logistics, strategy, alliances, and political resolve. Right now, the world is watching a conflict expand across multiple regions while the person in charge of the United States is posting fantasies about imaginary naval coalitions and claiming total victory over an enemy that is clearly still fighting."

Smarter and more transparent food ecosystem.
Our new AI-powered TraceMap tool will keep fraudulent and contaminated food off your local supermarket’s shelves.
By monitoring the agri-food supply chain in real-time, it will:
🚫 Spot risks with improved screening accuracy
🦠 Track shipments in seconds to stop foodborne disease outbreaks
🛒 Remove non-compliant products from the market faster
Better data. Faster recalls. Safer meals.
Protecting you.
No it won't. Last year, you have publicly committed to sacrificing our protection:
»Recognizing the importance of continued engagement to resolve longstanding concerns, the European Union and the United States commit to work together to address non-tariff barriers affecting trade in food and agricultural products, including streamlining requirements for sanitary certificates for pork and dairy products.« (emphasis added)
Happy "streamlining", i.e., submission to #US #food "standards", and installing the rotten bullshitter called "AI" in the food inspection chain!
Whether a ban on junk food advertising was a good way to tackle the obesity problem across the UK will be difficult to judge after research on the effects on food industry lobbying reveal the ban to now be largely ineffective.
The real problem is around nutrition & the need to find ways to shift many people's eating habits *without* victim blaming.... the advert ban seemed one good way to do that, but now we cannot know how effective it might have been!

We checked our calendars and it's not April 1. According to @USAToday, the U.S.-based restaurant chain Buffalo Wild Wings has introduced a wing-flavored Espresso Proteini — classic martini ingredients (vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur) with added Muscle Milk Protein Powder and Buffalo Dry Rub. Fancy it? There's not much time: It's only available from Friday, March 13 to Sunday March 15. Tell us in the comments if this is something you'd try (we can think of 1,000 things we'd rather drink).
