Je možné, že nás čeká globální potravinová krize. Příčiny jsou dvě. Jednak nedostatek hnojiv z důvodu uzavření Hormuzu, kterým proudí část světové produkuce. K výpadku již došlo a nic s tím neuděláme. Jeho dopady se projeví se zpožděním až 12 měsíců. Nedostatek hnojiv = slabší úroda = méně potravin. Druhým faktorem je El Niño. To je klimatická anomálie, která přináší extrémní počasí po celé planetě. Zjednodušeně řečeno prostě jednou za čas zničí část globální produkce potravin. Letos na podzim se očekává velmi silné, pravděpodobně nejsilnější za posledních 80 let. Dokážeme to relativně přesně předpovídat, ale stejně s tím nic neuděláme, úroda bude prostě slabší. Osobně po uzavření Hormuzu hraju ETF na pšenici, což je jedna ze 3 hlavních plodin, bez kterých by byl hladomor (pšenice, rýže a kukuřice). Ceny pšenice letos zatím +50%, tyhle komodity umí mnohem větší výstřely. Určitě to pocítíme na cenách potravin. #potraviny #klimatickézměny #hospodářství

🔴Mám CRPS, to víte.🔴 Komplexní regionální bolestivý syndrom. Zní to odborně, ale ve skutečnosti to znamená, že noha, která už jednou prošla peklem a zůstala „rozdrcená“, teď bolí způsobem, který většina lidí nedokáže pochopit. Bolí i když se jí skoro nedotkneš. Bolí, když se mění počasí. Bolí, když se jen snažím žít. 🔴K tomu PTSD.🔴 A z toho se mi postupně rozvinula sociální fobie a strach. Strach vyjít ven. Strach sednout do auta. Strach, že se mi zase něco stane, nebo že to prostě nezvládnu. Chodím na fyzioterapii. Jezdím k psychiatrovi. Mám lékařské zprávy. A přesto… většina lidí kolem to zlehčuje. Dělají, že mi nic není. Že si to vymýšlím. Že jsem simulant. Že duševní bolest není „opravdová“ bolest❗️ Věří mi vlastně jen jeden člověk – můj přítel. A to je někdy hrozně málo. Cítím se v tomhle sama. Ne proto, že bych chtěla lítost. Ale protože být neviděná, když tě tělo i hlava drtí, je jedna z nejhorších věcí, co jsem kdy zažila. Proto to píšu sem, protože vy mě vidíte a podporujete. ❤️ #CRPS #MentalHealth #InvisibleIllness
