If #Oil prices go up, #fuel prices go up & commodity prices go up as both oil & oil-derived fuel are a component of all #commodities that are plastic or transported.

The typical response to #inflation is to increase #interest rates, which if done will result in increased #government #deficits, higher #taxes & combined with monetary inflation & #commodity price increases will force vast numbers of people into #privation.

These are #engineered geoeconomic conditions being used to deliberately #collapse economies as a pretext for a pan-Western, central #bank digital #currency, #biometric ID, #tracking, social credit system, ushered in via manufactured #consent, through a propagandized faux #Hegelian dialectic using applied #psychology.

This is #BuildBackBetter.

Via Água, sua linda -
Na #ÁrabiaSaudita, o #Agronegócio esgotou a água do maior aquífero saudita em 30 anos. O resultado não poderia ter sido mais infeliz: oásis milenares secaram e os próprios fazendeiros perderam seus negócios. Este caso de estudo não é um fato isolado e mostra o risco de muitas regiões do mundo que deixam de cuidar de seus mananciais e aquíferos.
No Brasil, até tínhamos uma norma para proteção dos mananciais e exploração da água para irrigação, mas o Conama derrubou na fatídica reunião com o ex-ministro Ricardo Salles em que houve uma revogação de normas de baciada: fim da proteção das APPS, dos mangues/restingas e fim das "normas para irrigação".
O problema da interferência do agronegócio nos governos acontece aqui, na Arabia Saudita, em países da África, nos Estados Unidos... Até quando a publicidade enganosa e os caríssimos esquemas de Relações Públicas e lobbistas da agroindústria conseguirão livrar o setor de responder por tantos crimes ambientais contra a humanidade. O agro tem produzido secas, tem gerado conflitos nos campos, tem devastado florestas e tem contribuído como poucos setores sujos (ex: indústria do petróleo e de mineração) para o agravamento das mudanças climáticas no mundo todo.

Water Futures to Start Trading Amid Growing Fears of Scarcity

Water is joining gold, oil and other commodities traded on Wall Street, highlighting worries that the life-sustaining natural resource may become scarce across more of the world.

Farmers, hedge funds and municipalities alike will be able to hedge against -- or bet on -- potential water scarcity starting this week, when CME Group Inc. launches contracts linked to the $1.1 billion California spot water market. According to Chicago-based CME, the futures will help water users manage risk and better align supply and demand.

The contracts, a first of their kind in the U.S., were announced in September as heat and wildfires ravaged the U.S. West Coast. They are meant to serve both as a hedge for California’s biggest water consumers against skyrocketing prices and a scarcity gauge for investors worldwide. ...

US oil price below zero for first time in history

...West Texas Intermediate, the US marker, lost more than 250 per cent on Monday to trade as low as -$40.32 a barrel in a day of chaos in oil markets. Traders capitulated in the face of limited access to storage capacity across the US, including the country’s main delivery point of Cushing, Oklahoma.

The collapse will be a blow to US president Donald Trump, who has gone to great lengths to protect the oil sector, including backing moves by Opec and Russia to cut production and pledging support for the industry.
