Supply, Chained (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The problem with getting into trade wars with your closest allies, aside from the fact that it makes you an unreliable asshat, is that sometimes the relationships were based on more than good vibes. Take potash; This substance, which is potassium chloride with a few other salts mixed in, is also the “P” in ubiquitous NPK fertilizer, and thereby the backbone of the entire commercial agriculture industry. The US uses about 5.5m metric tons of potash per year, most of it imported from Canada. It’s

Before we get to today’s primary topic, a few words of followup from last week’s post. Over the past few days, it became our most viewed article ever and, honestly…. We’re not thrilled about it. Lives are continuing to be upended because of wildfires, and it doesn’t look like the world is going to get a reprieve anytime soon. Let’s recall that, historically, wildfire season in the Western US didn’t even start until around August 15th. There’s a long way to go.Since we published, ar
