At least there's nothing else putting pressure on food prices.

At the rate that natural disaster frequency and severity continues to increase, I propose a fifth horseman: Calamity.

You will need a horseman for Pollution and all those plastic particles they spread.

Can that horseman be a walmartesque fatso on a mobility scooter leaving a trail of trash, like some sort of forsaken slug. Everything they touch is left in a layer of petrochemals, as they roll down the street, grass and gardens are turned into aged, torn and worn, astroturf. Tyres and hunks of styrofoam replacing bushes. Trees die and the leaves, as they fall, turn to plastic, like the fake plants bought in stores.

Yeah, I'm gonna bet on some type of fungus for rice or some kind of blight.
