I am a high school teacher who writes critical analysis of topics ranging from surveillance capitalism to colonial epistemology, and I am now stockpiling freeze-dried beef stroganoff and monitoring diesel inventories at 1 AM on a school night, so obviously everything is going great. This week's piece traces the supply chains that connect a 21-mile strait in the Persian Gulf to the shrimp boats sitting idle in Alabama, the last oil tanker to reach California, and the bins of emergency food I have to reach past every morning to grab a shirt for work. Anyway, happy Tuesday, here's what your pantry knows that your government won't tell you.
