LOL I’ve got two freezers, a refrigerator in the kitchen and a small camper sized fridge here in the bedroom.
Security Guards at one secure exit gate of the supermarket. Beggars everywhere. Be careful when you carry your groceries to the car.
I’m looking forward to this.
A big contibutor to the aging farmer is the fact that there are fewer and fewer young farmers.
Very obvious, of course, but what’s not so obvious is that these newer, younger, farmers are producing 2, or 5, or 10 times as much food as the older farmers they are replacing.
I have a BIL who is still farming at 70, and covering the same amount of land he coverged 30 years ago, (400-500 acres)in the 80’s.
When he retires, since he doesn’t have anyone to hand it down to, it will probably be absorbed into a farm 10 or 15 times as big as his
Think of it as more of a local export industry.
What are you going to do when the electricity goes off?
You do know that ALL Those sub stations are now built out of country and have to be imported?
That’s it in a nutshell.
I also do plenty of my own canning.
In Socialism it always ends up with the Dupes standing in line awaiting the next promised “shipment” of food and other goods. Why would it be any different here?
What’s going to happen when the food stamps won’t cover the cost of steak and the ebt card doesn’t have enough to pay for a replacement flatscreen. The old one got sold for drugs.
The best I’ve heard about relocation is to be farther from a major city than you can get in a stolen car with a full tank.
I plan on making 'moonshine' when tshtf.
According to Nancy Pelosi, this should be a great engine of economic growth ....
I hate to see the small family farms disappear. They are a cultural element in rural America and a part of the icon of the rugged independent individual that used to be the backbone of America. I don’t like the big agri-industries that churn out production at the expense of quality and taste.
Damn, forgot the bourbon.
Thanks for the reminder
I'm making plans not to go to the store. You guys can fight it out...not me.
Was nice to have had a mother and father who actually lived off the land back in the early 30s. All they needed was floor, sugar and yeast. Pap used to walked over 14 miles one way once every two weeks (in the winter) to replenish those because the roads weren't plowed. The rest they got off the land. No electricity, no running water, and they raised us kids till the late 30s when electricity finally came.
The means to protect it isn’t worth squat without the will to protect it. That’s the big problem for most people.
18 months? That would be, hmmmm, let's see now (taking off shoes and socks for counting), Oh, I know! Late 2012!
I recall a couple of years ago Gerald Celente predicting that by Christmas of 2012, a really great Christmas present would be "food on the table".
I remember my mom filled the root cellar with canned stuff. I got to go to the old house and get the wood stove/range someday.
Cut off the oil imports and it won’t be.
We better start getting energy independence or we’re going to be up a creek.
