i had that same experience. you make friends by running into the same people in the same shared space repeatedly over a period of time, learning whose sense of humor is similar to your own and sho on. this is just not possible when the experience of hanging out in a voluntarily chosen shared space is replaced with getting automatically matched with randoms who you never see again in order to force a ~50% win rate designed to maximize daily engagement and loot box spending

Canada alone doesn't have enough potash production for the whole world and I'm familiar with how the Canadians absolutely fucked over their own potash sector through privatization so I don't expect much long term planning or reserve capacity from them. As long as the companies comply with Western sanctions against Russia and Belarus there's a severe hard cap on how much food production can expand since farmers can't produce as much with fertilizer prices going up and the WEF fucking around with "organic" fertilizers to cripple food production. I mean all glory to based Lukashenko and our anti imperialist allies for inflicting pain on the West, but idk on a personal level how the business model of investing into Western food companies makes sense with farmers handicapped in so many ways.
I agree on investing in weapon companies for american imperialism gainsmaxxing and cryptocurrency for tax evasion; I already knew that.
