So you’re a tail-end Boomer, too? I thought I was old enough to be your auntie, but guess it’s more like big sis.
My mother used to volunteer me to do campaign work before I was old enough to vote, when they called asking for volunteers. Mom was slick. Good for you for helping elect Reagan.
I voted for Reagan in 1980. My new husband voted for Carter (he was older and a true Boomer). He was very sad on election night, but saw the light at last and voted for Reagan in 1984.
During the dark years of Obama, I kept thinking how we needed another Reagan, but alas, there is only one Reagan. I can’t help feeling the same now. We may be in more dire straits in 2024 than we were in 1980. Between rising food and fuel prices and supply chain disruptions it’s bad enough now. Then there’s the looming food shortage. If the predictions come true, we may well be seeing riots, civil unrest and toppled governments in some countries, and mass migration. Sri Lanka may have only been the first. Looks like Panama may be next:
Meanwhile, Biden is draining our Strategic Oil Reserve while China is filling up theirs and hoarding grain. And The Netherlands, the world’s 7th largest food exporter, is kicking farmers off their land. Idiot Climate Cult. They ruined Sri Lanka already. Now they’re after Holland. Come winter, we may find ourselves living in interesting times.
Yep……made Boomerhood by 2 years.
My wife is extremely worried about food shortages.
Meanwhile we have about 2 years with of food from Augason Farms I kept buying in the 2006-2015. 25-30 year shelf life.
Augason Farms has been out of food since 2020.
They’re just now coming back.
I have thousands of rounds of ammo for almost any caliber.
Including specialty stuff, and about 5,000 rounds of LAP 5.56.
Wild game everywhere here. Hunting sucks because I was a tracker and now all I gotta do is open the door and stick the barrel out.
The deer sleep around the house because because my 3 German Shepherds protect them Wolves, Coyotes, Bear and big cats.
There is a part of me that wants all of the $hit to finally hit the fan.
I want the Climate morons to be put down (politically) once and for all as the nutcases they are and never accepted again as saving anything.
Sometimes my mind set is that people need to suffer to learn what socialism really is, what the green freaks really are.
Or we’ll be playing this game for many more decades.
Always willing to help people. So I won’t be sitting out a SHTF situation.
I have a few buckets of oats (5 gallon size) that are 30 year storage for my neighbor’s horses. Just in-case. Harsh winters here.
I rather resolve these issues now because I don’t think Millennials can and the generation after them (my Grandchildren) seem tougher but by the time they come of age, all could be lost by the dopey Millennials.
I’m not totally geezified just yet so let’s get this over with.
It’s probably a poor attitude but that’s how I feel presently.
