Another Buttplug Exclusive!

Oh, hold it….i saw it on Al Jazeera this morning.

They even had a map with a moving triangle representing the ship.

Back to Ill74, sucking on Buttplug’s teat in the studio….

She got banned for spamming Msn, btw.

Reuters is her new “affiliate”.

honest to god, i don't even need to look up who you're referring to. How sad an existence to spend days, months, years trolling another user who doesn't even see the posts? It's beyond ridiculous.

I've never seen anyone as obsessed. Not to mention oblivious to his obsession

his contributions are less enduring than thought-farts... less fragrant, too

wheat prices are falling way below their pandemic peaks due to a slow down in demand, largely driven by the higher prices ...a slow down in both the animal feed and human consumption markets. Farmers are replacing wheat with other grain-feeds for their livestock.
Better than predicted harvests plus the slow down in demand plus the reopening of Ukraine wheat exports is all good for driving down the wheat prices but they are expected to climb back up from their current $780 per unit per 5,000 bushels to $835 per 5000 bushels by the end of the year. Still not as bad as they were in February @ $1,250 after the war in Ukraine affected food supplies.
i suppose other grain prices reflect their increased demand but this, too, will be constantly in flux as the wheat supply drops its prices and so stimulates demand there. The future of the Russia-Ukraine war will no doubt feature large in farmers' decisions as to which feed they can be sure of getting for their stock.

Commodities analysts have told Reuters that global wheat demand for the second half of 2022 is set to plummet by between 5% to 8% from last year and that lower demand is caused largely by high prices. And while that amount doesn't sound like much, it could well be the biggest drop in demand that the commodity has seen in decades. As Erin Collier, who works for the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation as an economist put it, "There is going to be a drop in wheat demand for animal feed in Europe and China. Wheat demand for human consumption has also slowed in key importing countries around the world," she said.

Maybe buttplug should quit while she’s behind and stick to tomatoes.
