BINGO!
There is no peaceful way back from here.
The cost of food is killing our budget.
Ping.
Yup.
I used to eat lunch (I don't eat breakfast) out every day and dinner out 2-4 times a week...these days, I only have dinner out once a week.
My biggest suprise is how many dishes have to be washed when cooking so much at home, lol.
Since gold is too high for many citizens, silver is more affordable and people should start hoarding some of it.
We used to eat out every Friday night. It was our date night. The last time we ate out in the past 6 mos was a $5 footlong at Subway. :-) Fortunately we live on a small lake and have a deck and a grill so now we grill out almost every night.
Planting a garden is like printing money. - Seen on Facebook.
I could post how I save on gasoline but it got me a visit from all the alphabet agencies
I try to buy 2 ounces a week, instead of going out to eat at all. I have also cut back to just 1 meal a day.
“There is no peaceful way back from here.”
Inflation spiraling out of control will bring on massive civil unrest - it won’t be peacefull, or pretty.
Everytime we shop we need to buy two or three of each item - rather a slightly higher-than-necessary shopping bill now than an out of touch “normal” bill later.
We can look at the state of ammo right now and extrapolate that to every other product.
Goldbug ping.
In my view, we are in a gold price hiatus, a plateau if you will.
My beliefs are largely based on the historical events similar to those now. The king (government) is in debt. The amount owed is huge.
I think of those boys, those princes, who were raised to be king. At some point in their studies, they took the course “Currency Devaluation 101”. The course of study involved several strategies to screw creditors by paying them in money that was less valuable than that which was borrowed. Early on, it was taught at their father’s knee, but has been taught to all for ages. All rulers learned the skill of devaluation.
I think most all of those who presently govern, both sides of the aisle, European, Japanese, Chinese, know the cure for the debt is devaluation. Today rather than make coins smaller or add some base metal to them, they print money. The result is the same.
Today, there is international collusion to maintain a reasonably static relative value between the main curreicies while all are being devalued simultaneously.
I hear the tramping sound of goose-stepping brownshirt HSI/SRT stormtroopers in our future.
Obama’s discovered that he can just run up huge debts and pay them off with wheelbarrows full of money cranked out like toilet paper.
Americans on the Left seem to be buying this “solution,” even though they scratch their heads and wonder why prices keep going up and up.
Pretty soon, we’ll need a wheelbarrow just to haul the cash for a bag of groceries, and the same Idiots will still be scratching their heads and wondering why.
And the press will still be saying, “It’s Bush’s fault.”
It’s a form of national idiocy which the Democrats are exploiting to stay in power, and to h*ll with America.
Would you recommend “A Failure of Civility” by Mike Garand and Jack Lawson? It is a non-fiction book on how to organize your neighborhood during a disaster or crisis.
I just bought 200 XF Mercury Head dimes. My next purchase will be Walking Liberty Halves.
Hell yes, you are darn right, it’s a MUST HAVE book.
There is no other book like it. It’s not another prepper book with chapters on beans, bandaids and bullets. It’s much much more.
