A more apt description of the remains of Western Civilization as embodied in the British Isles, Europe, and North America in the early 21st century will be difficult to find.

For anyone who doesn't track US agriculture, the "bread basket of the world" is about to become a net importer. The fundamentals around rising input costs is unlikely to change that in the near future. Yay team!
"This most recent prediction will be the largest agricultural trade deficit in over 70 years if realized. Before we get into the factors influencing this shift in the agricultural trade outlook, it’s important to note how a trade deficit could impact American farmers and ranchers. As American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall highlighted in a House Ag Committee hearing, healthy and diversified agricultural export trade creates a more productive and resilient domestic food system. When agricultural exports decline, U.S. farm products that would otherwise be exported are funneled back into the local market, which can lead to suppressed prices for American farmers at a time when input costs are on the rise."
