Democrats want to eliminate oil and gas. We lose everything.
My gasoline fill-up today was $4.34 a gallon, about 15 miles west of Mobile.
If I can get through another hurricane season unharmed, I'll face the (EVEN) higher food prices in October.
We need Trump NOW!
Elected Republicans need this talking point: Biden must appoint Donald Trump to lead a nonpartisan emergency management task force to address the fuel and food crisis.
Biden won't do it, but make Biden take to the airways and say to the American public - “There is no energy crisis. There is no inflation. Everything is fine!”
I buy pretty much buy the same stuff at the grocery store every week. It’s just the two of us to feed, so you’d think that would be pretty simple, Right?
Nope. While I haven’t experienced any shortages of anything, my bill for the same groceries every week is up $50 a week, or $200 a month as of now.
We grow and can a lot of our own food and raise our own meat, which helps a lot. We eat simply and don’t entertain a lot other than family at the holidays - and that’s usually Pot Luck; everyone brings something.
$200 a month now is uncomfortable, but manageable. $400 a month is going to be VERY noticeable.
And don’t even get me started on what gasoline costs! Ugh!
All of this is so easy to fix. Reverse any and all of Brandon’s Executive Orders pertaining to oil and it will all magically take care of itself.
But, that’s not the plan, obviously.
“...as people struggle to maintain their standard of living.”
Well, that’s the FIRST problem. If you haven’t been living BELOW your means for all of your adult life, you’re really going to take a hit, now. And it’s gonna hurt. Bigly.
Carter II on steroids! 2008 was child’s play as far as you losing on investments and savings. I’m well diversified, but my PMs are NOT filling in the gap of my other investments. :( Dollars/metals are running scared like a pup that’s been scolded.
Plan accordingly, FRiends.

(From the article):" “Usually, what we see on the farm, the consumer doesn’t see for another 18 months,” said John Chester, a Tennessee farmer of corn, wheat, and soybeans.
But with the severity of these cost increases, consumers could feel the effects much sooner, particularly if weather becomes a factor.
Lorenda Overman, a North Carolina farmer who raises hogs and grows corn, soybeans, and sweet potatoes, said the spike in fuel costs has put her farm into the red this year.
“Nothing that consumers are paying is going to bridge the gap for farmers right now,” she said.
“The prices now have not hit the grocery stores yet,” but she expects they will start to by the end of summer."
"Much of the cost of food hinges on the price of oil."
H/T to blam for the "heads up" !
Time to fire up the pressure canner.
For ever $1 Higher food prices will save $5 in healthcare costs. America has the most obese people among developed countries and obesity is #1 risk factor in creating health problems.
Imeat lots of oatmeal due to food allergies restricting my diet so much.
Sam’s club has had the 10# boxes for $8.99 for years. It’s been a few months since I bought some. They are now $11.50.
That’s a huge increase.
Well, at least that shopper has his mask on and is shopping for HIGH PRICED, LOW STOCK groceries, correctly.
🙃
Remember, it’s not just farmers, it’s fishermen too. If you see Forrest Gump in your neck of the woods ask if this shrimp trawler is able to get out much.
You are looking at rationing schemes for gasoline and food, and a potential for new lockdowns, forced work from home from non essential persons, online schooling, and travel restrictions, this time to contain inflation.
Also if we have a major Gulf Hurricane, expect the Colonial Pipeline all over again.
So....they're going to cut off natural gas? How do you read this?
The American people are getting mugged.
Buying extra flour now. What others things should I stock up on?

Add...devaluation of the dollar non stop cash for the insulated Chugites.
Interest rates will do absolutely Nothing for the above. The Chugites will instead self increase their salaries and benefits.
