LOL, yup, just what I was thinking.
SIL got gas for the car yesterday. Paid 3.35/gal. Just two days before I got gas for my car it was 3.27/ gal. Spec its going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Mark my words before its over the government is going to ration certain products. For equity don’t you know.
And I'm too old to give a damn.
Informed and rational people are, um, behaving like informed and rational people. [sorry for the hate speech]
What does nearly $2K in food in 1918 equate to now?
Hoarding used to be a sin, as it was viewed as stealing from those that need it.
In times of famine, food hoarders were condemned and sometimes killed.
Same amount of food and 2 cars.
Overthrow the government, unleash the unholy love child of nazism and communism, start mass repression, flood the nation with third world immigrants, terrorize the population, state that you are going to create a new type of national and world economy, let crime and revolutionary crime run wild, surrender to the Taliban. Put out weekly war scares. Smile and wink at communist riots. Throw people out of work across the nation,...... and people respond by storing all the food they can?
Weird, who would have thought?
Recent demographics have changed this country in profound ways. And those changes are leading to cultural ones. This ain’t your father’s country anymore, that’s for sure.
Now, you have to ask yourself, what would you do if people start showing up demanding what you have?
A sin? Not according to Genesis chapter 41. God told Joseph that pharaoh’s dream meant to store excess food from the 7 abundant years so you don’t starve in the 7 lean years.
Jesus wants me to store food.
Control the food supply and one can control the people. Control the energy supply and one can control the country. Control the money supply and one can control the world. FJB!!
I know a man who really doesn’t enjoy sardines. He keeps a stash of them in his airplane as survival food. He says that way they’ll be there when he actually needs them.
Then you have to put up with the stench and all the noise. Im just putting up extra wood for the smoke house.

Looks like my front “yard”. Counted 16 the other morning
Environmental regs on truckers is causing a transport crunch, which will cascade across the economy.
What?
You mean homemade doesn’t happen in a microwave?????
We had a little neighbor girl (about 5) at one place we lived who used to watch me in the kitchen as I cooked.
One day I was peeling potatoes and put the pot on to boil and she asked me what I was doing. I told her I was making mashed potatoes. She asked, (dead serious) “Why don’t you make them the homemade way, in the microwave?”
By God’s grace, I did not burst out laughing. I told her that this was a different kind of homemade way.
What a world.
Try this brand. They are A W E S O M E ......
