Ace of Spades ♠ —vids of cute critters and classless clowns

Several huge food processing plants in the US have blown up/burned down in the past few days—if you understand the significance of this—it's the only thing you'd be talking about & tweeting.

Also, a very large Walmart distribution center went up in smoke. Too many to just be a weird coincidence.

Fertilizer Manufacturer Warns of Supply Crisis Due to Railroad-Mandated Shipping Reductions
Leslie Eastman, Legal Insurrection, Apr 22, 2022

A leading global manufacturer of fertilizers is warning customers that Union Pacific rail lines’ new railroad-mandated shipping reductions would result in shipment delays during the crucial spring plating season.… The company is going to ask the Surface Transportation Board, which is part of Pete Buttigieg’s Department of Transportation, for an assist in resolving this situation.… We wish the fertilizer manufacturer a ton of good luck with that plan. Given that the Transportation Secretary is busy at the Invictus games with his spouse and his presidential ambitions, resolving this issue does not seem like a priority.

I received an email from a *seed* company I'd recently ordered from reporting their warehouse had burned down.

Graphic of accumulated headlines
We have brains designed to spot patterns. That helps primitive man survive in the jungle. Unfortunately, it helps modern man come up with conspiracy theories. Here's one that I've seen a lot of people talking about lately: “OMG! The CIA is destroying all of the food plants in America! They plan to starve us!”

Now I wouldn't put anything past the US Government, but the graphic above is the kind of thing that is usually presented as “evidence”. That's 18 incidents, spread over more than a year. I honestly don't know how many food processing plants there are in America, but I'm willing to bet that 18 is only a minuscule fraction of them. I think their brains may be finding a pattern where none exists.
