like the overnight chemical fertilizer which is why in addition to all these kinds of, i mean we also have a looming food to try and, you know, currently i'm experiencing about that right now. so this is the state of things or data. right now. you've touched on it to be dead. these the stories of desperation and suffering, which is sort of veering into a humanitarian crisis. how is the situation affecting people? yeah, i mean, you're right, undine, i believe it is a humanitarian kremser data. short age of life, saving jobs and medical equipment. the majority of small businesses have completely close down. you have this business information and the data page are undergoing human suffering because of the pay it off getting inflation.
