American farmers are being forced to euthanize their livestock at unheard of rates due to the shutdown of over 25% of hog processing in the U.S. This could lead to major meat shortages across the country and waves of farm bankruptcies. Meanwhile, the price of crude oil has plummeted, and the largest U.S. storage areas are so full that they will reach maximum capacity in little more than a month. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has stated he prefers to drive U.S. states into bankruptcy rather than allow the federal government to come to their aid in the coronavirus crisis. The world's physical economy is being destroyed in a vain effort to salvage the cancerous speculative bubble, and its Malthusian ideology. Helga Zepp-LaRouche stresses the importance of changing the paradigm and finding solutions to this crisis.
