Looks like they maybe intentionally creating food shortages. Can't just be a coincidence that 18 U.S. food processing facilities just happened to burn down in the last six months. (mobile.twitter.com)

three times is enemy action

18 times is war

Cashing out insurance prior to a food shortage also seems possible.

With skyrocketing costs, I don't doubt it.

Easier to throw your hands up and exit with an insurance payout and dealing with buying materials at inflated retail prices and being expected to sell your goods at wholesale prices.

Stuff like this is important for context, there's a lot of wastage and loss of food inherent in the chain. Is it going to move the needle?

From the screenshot there seems to be a lot of meat plants being burnt. Eco terrorists isn't a far fetched theory.

Just for comparison I did a google search between 2000 and 2019 for "meat" plant" "fire" and Australia and found 5 pretty easily: 2007, 2013, 2016, 2016, 2018

As someone "helpfully' posted on twitter. factories burn down a lot and I would tend to agree having had experience in insurance and risk management actuary work. I don't know if food processing is higher or lower risk though.

I don't know why the powers that be would do this which is very uncontrolled, when they could simply just tax meat or food at a higher rate which allowed for much more centralised "control" which fits in with their MO far more then this.

There's also the age of the facilities. There are food plants here which still have areas with bars on the doors/windows, because they were around in WW2, and close to a very large POW camp, where some of the prisoners would work, and sometimes stay overnight.

Now imagine all the fuckery since then with the electrical being overhauled to fit more and more increasing automation. Frankly, places like that, one should be surprised they still serve and function within legal parameters.

So before that how common was this? And why are we getting our information from some guy on Twitter?

They don't have to destroy infrastructure to create shortages. Look at the price of cheese at the store and then look up the US cheese reserve.
