When The Food Runs Out....

 

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true

Wanted a woman, never bargained for you

Lots of people talk and few of them know

Soul of a woman was created below, yeah

You hurt and abuse telling all of your lies

Run 'round, sweet baby, Lord, how they hypnotize

Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been

Gonna love you, baby, here I come again

The Car Shortage Is About To Get A Whole Lot Worse

A critical element in everything from engines to bodies is in short supply

When you get into your car in the morning, you probably aren’t thinking about what materials actually go into its construction. [This is Jalopnik, so a lot of you probably are.—ED] Sure, you might have considered the sheer number of semiconductors powering all the gadgets that come with modern cars, but the actual metal structure of your car likely hasn’t had that much of an impact on you.

Now, it may have an impact on the entire industry. A global shortage of magnesium could result in a near-total shutdown of the auto industry — one that experts say could come by the end of this year.

You may not have thought about magnesium since high-school science classes, but it plays a critical role in the automotive industry. Magnesium is used in many aluminum alloys, mainly (at least in auto applications) the 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx-series alloys. These are used in anywhere high strength and low weight are priorities, including:

Body panels
Fuel tanks
Suspension plates
Brackets
Brakes
Engine blocks
Crossmembers
Axles
Impact beams
Unibody structures
Wheels

Essentially, you can’t make cars without aluminum. You can’t work with aluminum without using magnesium. And as of December, you may not be able to work with magnesium much — if at all. Amos Fletcher, analyst for Barclays, put it succinctly: “If magnesium supply stops, the entire auto industry will potentially be forced to stop.”

China has been in the midst of an energy crisis recently, with factories shutting down to conserve power. Unfortunately for the car industry, China is also the world’s primary supplier of magnesium — 85% of the world’s supply comes from the country.

The most prevalent magnesium-producing town in China, Yulin, just ordered 35 of its 50 production facilities to shut down. The remaining 15 have been told to...

"Locomotive Breath"

In the shuffling madness

Of the locomotive breath

Headlong to his death

Indiana parents say children having adverse reactions after mistaken adult dose of COVID-19 vaccine

Parents from Indiana say their two children are suffering adverse reactions after they were mistakenly given an adult dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at Walgreens.

Joshua and Alexandra Price took their four-year-old son and five-year-old daughter to Walgreens for the flu shot a week ago, but the children and parents were all mistakenly given the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

"When they called us and told us that they had made a mistake and had given us the wrong shot, I was just in shock," Alexandra Price said, CNN reported. "All I could say to them was, 'What does this mean for my kids?' "

The parents say that their children, Sophia and Lukas, are experiencing side effects from the vaccine, which is only approved for ages 12 and older.

"The children have experienced a number of adverse effects since receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Fever, body aches, cough, headaches, and nausea are among the symptoms the children are experiencing," Prices' attorney, Dan Tuley, said in a statement.

"The 4- and 5-year-old are also under treatment of a pediatric cardiologist for tachycardia and elevated blood pressure, respectively,” he added.

For the parents, Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, told CNN the COVID-19 shot would essentially be a booster shot since the parents were already vaccinated back in April.

Joshua said Lukas started to feel sick even before the family left the store that day, according to CNN.

"They will probably do OK," Hotez said. "The difference is they got a three times higher dose of a vaccine than is being tested [for children] in clinical trials.

"It is concerning they got a higher dose, and they have to be monitored, but they should do really well," Hotez added. "There is a lot of data out there now in 5-year-olds and older."

An appointment Tuesday showed Lukas was doing better, but Sophia’s blood pressure “is in the 98th percentile and she continues to have no energy,” Alexandra told the news outlet.

Alexandra and Joshua also experienced symptoms such as high blood pressure, headaches, fever and chest pains from receiving their third, unplanned dose.

The couple also said Walgreens hesitated to give the family vaccine cards after the incident, saying they would have to discuss it with their legal team. Joshua said they wanted the cards as proof for...

Billionaire Supermarket Owner Warns: Food Prices Will Go Up ‘Tremendously’

The owner of a New York City supermarket chain predicted the food prices will increase sharply in the coming months, with some increasing 10 percent in the next two months.

John Catsimatidis, the billionaire supermarket owner of Gristedes and D’Agostino Foods, warned that food giants such as Nabisco, PepsiCo, and Coca-Cola will prioritize raising prices on products.

“I see over 10 percent [price increase] in the next 60 days,” he said in an interview with Fox Business on Monday, adding that the trend will not drop “anytime soon.” Catsimatidis cited rising inflation and supply chain bottlenecks that are currently plaguing supermarkets and other retailers around the United States.

Catsimatidis then cautioned: “I see food prices going up tremendously” because food company CEOs “want to be ahead of the curve and the way they’re doing it is they’re dropping all promotions. They are dropping low-moving items.”

“Why give away something when you don’t have to give it away and you make more margin?” Catsimatidis asked. “So I think that now these companies are going to have record profits in the third quarter.”

Experts have said that a significant backlog of shipping containers is currently being processed at two major California ports is snarling delivery of food and other goods. Energy shortages in the Asia-Pacific and Europe, as well as COVID-19-related concerns, lockdowns, and vaccine mandates have also been blamed for the...

Watch Bari Weiss Embarrass Brian Stelter On His Own Show

Former New York Times Opinion Editor Bari Weiss embarrassed CNN’s Brian Stelter on his show “Reliable Sources” on Sunday when she pointed out that it is corporate media networks such as CNN pushing false narratives that contribute to silencing viewpoints and cancel culture.

“When you have the chief reporter on the beat of COVID for The New York Times talking about how questioning or pursuing the question of the lab leak is racist, the world has gone mad. When you’re not able to say out loud and in public that there are differences between men and women, the world has gone mad. When we’re not allowed to acknowledge that rioting is rioting and it is bad and that silence is not violence, but violence is violence, the world has gone mad. When we’re not able to say that Hunter Biden’s laptop is a story worth pursuing, the world has gone mad. When, in the name of progress, young school children as young as kindergarten, are being separated in public schools because of their race and that is called progress rather than segregation, the world has gone mad. There are dozens of examples that I could share with you,” Weiss explained.

When Stelter asked exactly “who are the people stopping the conversation?” Weiss noted that CNN is a key media player when it comes to promoting a certain agenda and silencing certain stories if they don’t fit the narrative.

“People who work at networks, frankly, like the one I’m speaking on right now, who try and claim that it was racist to investigate the lab leak theory,” Weiss said.

Stelter was dissatisfied with her answer and, in a tone-deaf reply, claimed that Weiss’s assertion was merely a “provocative” statement that held no water.

“I’ve heard about every story you mentioned, so I’m just suggesting, of course, people are allowed to cover whatever they want to cover,” Stelter said.

“But you and I both know, and it would be delusional to claim otherwise, that touching your finger to an increasing number of subjects that have been deemed third-rail by the mainstream institutions and increasingly by some of the tech companies will lead to reputational damage,” Weiss retorted. “Perhaps you losing your job, your children sometimes being demonized as well, and so what happens is a kind of internal self-censorship. This is something that I saw over and over again when I was at The New York Times.”

Not only are people intimidated, Weiss said, but the institutional culprits dictating speech are getting bolder.

“What’s going on is the transformation of the sense-making institutions of American life. It’s the news media, it’s the publishing house, it is the Hollywood studios, it’s our universities, and they are narrowing in a radical way what’s acceptable to say and what isn’t,” Weiss said.

Weiss explained that there are plenty of examples of cancel culture such as when Dorian Abbot, a geophysicist at the University of Chicago, was stopped from giving a lecture at MIT after a “Twitter mob” brought up his comments supporting meritocracy.

“What are the downstream effects of an example like that? Every other scientist, every other academic who’s watching that is saying, ‘Wait, hold on, if he’s being canceled for that, what does that mean for me? I might as well shut up. I might as well practice doublethink in the freest society in the history of the world,'” Weiss said. “That is one of the great stories of our time. That is the story that’s been uncovered largely not because of disinformation or not because they’re lying about it, simply because they’re ignoring it, it’s disinformation by omission.”

Stelter, however, overlooked Weiss’s points that this misinformation and cancel culture are promoted by media networks and other powerful institutions, to absolve himself from any blame and shift the burden to...

Video: 6th Grader Secretly Records Teacher Peddling Critical Race Theory To Class

District superintendent previously claimed it wasn’t happening

Video has emerged of a teacher at a high school in Ohio talking about books and themes closely associated with so called ‘critical race theory’, despite previous promises to parents from officials that it wasn’t happening in the district’s schools.

The footage, apparently secretly recorded by a student at Franklin Woods Intermediate School, appears to show a teacher lecturing children about how not engaging in anti-racism activism means that Americans are enabling racism.

The teacher admits to being an ‘activist’ and points to the book “Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You” written by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi, key figures in the CRT movement.

The teacher says “Some people might call it racist. It’s actually three categories, if you read the book ‘Stamped’ you’ll hear that there’s three areas. There’s anti-racist which is a person who works to end racism. An activist, someone who is active, and that’s what I was trying to be. I was reading books, I was going to rallies, I was trying to be in that group.”

The teacher continues, “Then there’s the opposite which is someone who is racist, who discriminates against people of a certain group and that sort of thing.”

“But then there’s the middle group,” the teacher continues, adding “A middle group is what most people are. Most people don’t actively work to end racism, and most people don’t work to be in the racist group. So most people are in that middle group, called an ‘assimilationist.’ An assimilationist doesn’t actively work to end it, and doesn’t work to be in the racist group.”
