    I’m sure the people who will starve will fill their bellies with the knowledge that it was just cheap food.

          Yeah, no. The grain was going to Latvia. They shouldn’t have dumped it, they’re basically vandals. Let’s not act as if this will start some huge famine. All this is, is a shitty protest, possibly with russian backing. Nothing more.

            We live in a global economy. If Lativia doesn’t get this grain then they’ll buy / outbid other grain that might have been destined for a poorer country. For any commodities like grain any impact in one place does have a worldwide impact through changing prices.
