Financial Tsunami Warnings, Food Supply Threats and Power Grid Risks with JC Cole

JC Cole joins Trent Loos from New Jersey on Rural Route for a hard-hitting conversation on food security, energy and economic risk. Trent shares the Old Farmer’s Almanac winter forecast and discusses Carrefour’s $3.6 billion in riot-related losses. JC highlights cyber attacks on food distribution systems and rising diesel prices. The pair examine Russian refinery strikes, drone incidents in the Baltics, and New York City’s horse carriage vote. They also weigh the threat of a global financial collapse, power grid vulnerabilities, transmission line projects, and New Jersey farming, including a mushroom farm, as JC recalls rebuilding infrastructure in post-Soviet Latvia.
