I hear that!
I am the ‘whitest’ Yankee Girl you’d ever want to meet - and I would eat Mexican cooking every DAY if I could. :)
I wouldn’t be surprised if we (someday) find that Trump DID win at least 49 states, in the stolen 2020 election.
I am hoping you are right on, about 2024.
That’s the problem, you think everyone else is responsible for you but they are not.
Again, another flat out lie, by you.
High horse, and all.
I don’t know about you but I nearly choked when Trump called for $3T for pandemic relief. Economists have been saying for decades that we were way too far into debt but it but the collapse never happened. Still, after all those years of gloom and doom, I was conditioned to think that we were on the brink of financial ruin, so I reflexly pret near panicked when Trump called for increasing it so drastically.
And it won’t happen as long as the world economies are pegged to the US dollar. I know China wants to change it that so that the yuan is the dominant currency. I just don’t see that happening for the foreseeable future.
Biden’s keystone pipeline nix raised gas some 80 cents here.
These liberal/socialist/commie policies will soon have us 30 trillion in debt.
This keeps me up at nights.
I have a weekly budget for myself of about $35 and I can buy what I need for the entire week. Chicken or fish, fresh veggies and some fruit. No sugary foods.
The communists in the USA will win every election post 2020 (they cheat). Their undoing will be ...
I paid 17.00 for two small boneless ribeye the other day, that is my treat for myself.
Yeah but is it frankenstein corn with so much DNA changed its just a corn colored and shaped man made molecule?
Kill two birds with one stone.
Isn’t it poisonous?
nothing like a good ribeye....
Well, if beans are on the menu, then people ought to stock up on Bean-O.
“My view is that this acceleration in the rate of price increases is likely to prove temporary,” Rosengren said Wednesday.
Do you believe him? I don’t. “

No I don’t believe him. I remember a time when the first class stamp cost 3 cents. I remember when gas for the car was 33 cents per gallon. I remember when hamburger cost 33 cents per lb.
The question is not will there be inflation - that’s a resounding yes. The question is will it be galloping double digit-such as we had during Carter and Early Reagan years, or something worse-like we have seen in Venezuela?
I have considered buying food for long term storage as an investment that is just as important a part of a balanced portfolio as any other asset.
And by the way - lumber prices - We purchased a big supply to build a shed less than a year ago. Two by Fours are now priced at 3 times what we paid then. - That’s 300% in less than a year (for those of you living in Rio Linda).
“...for those of you living in Rio Linda.”
LOL! First chuckle of the day. Thanks! :)
Agree and he better get moving. We need social media platforms to communicate since twitter and facebook bans continue for Trump
👍🤣😎One of my favorite sayings I picked up from the golden AIB microphone guy. Ha.
All the above is a good approach if you have the resources. The standard prepping items to start, food, water or secure source, medical items, guns and ammo(may be challenging now if you have to start). Food inflation is going to continue so buy a little extra if possible each time you shop. Booze can be used for barter, all of this is in a fecal material hitting the fan scenario, in addition I have recently been adding silver as insurance for the above situation. I am not counting on making any money on it(very manipulated market), it is there just in case.
Real estate is good, I have been in the markets for a while but have not been adding recently. I like crypto, it has a lot of volatility, but good potential upside and not controlled by central bankers who would monetize the currency. They would have to shut down the internet to kill it, which they will try to do as this takes away power from them and governments.
I see us in the beginnings of very difficult times, I have a general idea of the direction we are going, but very unclear about how we get there.
This is basically planning for possible contingencies, some more likely than others
