I’m a single man 43, when Donny was reelected my weekly grocery bill was about $80. As of march my groceries have cost me well over $170 and as of last week it is close to $200. So much winning we might get tired of all the winning.
And I dont think the other shoe has dropped yet. It takes time for shocks to wring out of the global transit network. Fertilizer is made from petrol these days, and farmers need to plan its order out months in advance. I fully expect things to get much worse to the point im learning to ferment and preserve things. Its not of urgency now, but having these skills before I may need them seems like a prudent use of time.
Definitely, I’ve seen were a lot of south East Asian countries have stop planting anew rice crop due to fertilizer shortage and without rice that’s like a large percentage of people’s diet. And as for here in freedom land America, I myself live in a very rural part of the country where everything has to be brought in by truck with the rising cost of fuel rule areas as well as most city areas will be suffering hard if you think Covid was bad Wait till the fuel shortages really grinds this country to a stop. Everybody, I work with and have to deal with our hard-core conservative and fully support. Everything that Donnie is doing. All they talk about is how fuel prices are going to be super cheap by the Fourth of July and how they eat steak every meal and how great everything is going to be in this country very soon.
But have you tried surviving on nothing but dried lentils and rice? Checkmate libruls /s
I had a period when I was young where my grocery budget was $30 per week. That lasted for over two years. Many lentils and much brown rice were consumed. Also tofu, which was extraordinarily cheap back then, and for empty calories, there was ramen. I started a herb garden and ate lots of green leafy vegetables. I invested in some spices, and could buy fish off the boat for next to nothing. I ended that period of poverty fit and healthy, but it was a constant, precarious struggle, the diet was monotonous, and shopping and cooking required considerable effort on top of working fulltime.
I wouldn't like to go back to it, but I could if I had to. Sometime I'll work out how much it'd cost to do that now.
FREEDOM! WINNING! WOO. MURICA!*
