Many countries are frequently on the edge in good times. As soon as it gets difficult, food shortages begin. I'm not sure there was any way to avoid it many of the countries where it is beginning and others where it will begin shortly, unfortunately.

I agree, certain nations won't get food aid for a long time as other nations are hoarding their food. This goes for other industries as well cause the ripple effect is webbed and symbiotic.

I really liked Sisko, he's one of my favorite captains. He's nonchalant, relaxed most of the time except when the situation calls for action, then he becomes really punchy (like a peaceful river that can become a torrent in an instant). His approach to the world is very close to mine, so I've always felt that I could identify with his character. The crew is real good too: every one of them has a character arc, they're all likable and together they are pretty much a good team (and there was Terry Farrell, the delightful blue-eyed brunette ). What's good is how they approached Star Trek; the ideas of the space station and the wormhole were really interesting and they sowed the seeds of many good stories.
April 22, 20205 yr @CandleVixen The only "reservation" I have with old Trek is the soundtrack. I mean it's "good" (except STE's theme - which is very bad), but I don't like how they overuse brass instruments, it's too much. Now, they have Jeff Russo and this guy is a genius. I have chills every time I listen to his music Spoiler (unfortunately, the new writers are bad and new Trek scenarios are garbage... Alex Kurtzman is doing an awful job)
