  4. They got a 99 year lease on a naval station last time. I assume they'll take payment in kind again since that area is beyond Beijing's reach. Or just as likely Chinese banks will default on their own loans again.

  7.  @michaelstanley5215  not if have any idea what you're talking about. "Organic fertilizer" is just animal poop and any other decayed organic matter that's on hand. "Chemical fertilizer" refers to any number of man made things, the most common of which are identical to the active ingredients in manure (namely ammonium nitrate and ammonium). There are cheaper chemicals that put nitrates in the soil out there, but only fools use them as they degrade the quantity and quality of crops each time. Where I'm from farmers like to plant two crops each season to get double yield (usually wheat and soy). This requires more fertilizer than can be supplied by animals, but is super productive.

  14. That's a weird generalization, as most of it is owed to banks and publicly traded bonds. It's almost as if you didn't watch the video and are just eager to ram bullshit down our throats.

  22. Not really, fertilizer is goodfor the soil, and the only people that say otherwise aren't farmers, and the only farmers that use harmful chemicals also don't know anything about farming
