I've just been made redundant (in NZ). One of the reasons (of many) that were cited, was the war in Ukraine (thanks Putin). We sell fertilizer (its a duopoly in NZ) and import phosphorous rock. The supply chain has been majorly affected. Container ships are hard to get hold off. Plus when the economy gets tough, fertiliser can wait a year which equates to less synthetic fert use on crops. Exports and imports down. A ton of other reasons why Ukraine is fucking everything up, but I'm not an economist who can explain that shit. All I knw, I've lost my job and the bigwigs tell me is partly due to fucking Putin.
Clever writing! Maybe the lesson is pay attention to the implication of our actions on others/environment!
Easier said than done, but very worth striving for.

That's terrible Reuben, sorry to hear that. Can you jump ship to the other company?
On the job hunt now. Who knows where I'll end up, but the truth is, I've been bored and unchallenged for a while now so I see this as a positive.
Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll kill it. Good luck bro!
No mention of boiling em', and stickin em' in a stew? Samwise Gamgee isn't thrilled.
In all seriousness, great piece and writing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Colton
You say po-TAY-to, I say po-TAH-to. Let's call the whole thing off.
Just in time for second lunch.
