Soaring inflation all brought to you by the current Dimocrat administration in office today starting with Handsy ‘Pedo’ Joe.
Long past time for food banks to require folks to actually be needy. We drive an older vehicle, live in modest means and pay for our own food. Ever look at what’s in those food lines? Unfortunately we can’t trust people when it comes to free giveaways anymore.
I’d like to see a breakdown of who food banks are feeding. I suspect that there are the actual, American needy, a small percentage, and the ‘if you build it they will come’ needy.
The Federal Reserve assures us that inflation is “transitory”. So if poor and working people can just stop eating for two years, they will find that food prices have stabilized.
Beef is up $2 lb and more here in Upstate NY. I’m buying anything on sale and freezing it. I like stews, meatloaf etc etc
I read an article by an intelligence analyst that posited the Arab Spring was brought on, not by a wave of political liberalization, but by a sudden ten percent spike in the food prices paid by Muslim citizens. The bulk of these countries are sitting on the edge of starvation. A sudden change in food or energy prices causes starvation. Starvation causes riots and governments fall. His argument, filled with facts and charts, was persuasive.
To this day the media, either from ignorance or narrative control, maintains that the Arab Spring was a political awakening. What they probably fail to realize is that politics and ideology is not on the minds of the average citizen. Average citizens couldn’t care less what’s trending in the artificial virtual worlds the media inhabits. They live in the real world with real needs and real hunger.
As food prices soar, look for, as an example, Iran to either scale back its regional ambitions to subsidize food, or to collapse. The entire Middle East will either scale back their aggression, or destabilize.
folks,
we live(d) in a nice world during our lifetime, but once the food-distribution chain gets cut, then all hell will break loose faster then a hillary email scrub.
All bets are off at that point.
If the Chinks can screw with our supply chain just enough, they can bring our entire country down within a month and they wont have to fire a single shot.
remember the Rugby team plane crash in the Andes back in the 70’s? normal, civilized people who were eating human flesh within a week of the crash.......
No wonder liberals hate God.
Ive seen the same thing. But sometimes someone gets the car before they lose thier job.
I had a good job for 14years, , bought a nice truck and was let go 3 months later. Upside down on the truck. What was I to do? I learned to only borrow money on anything when you have the cash on hand to pay it off or at least make a down payment enough to put you into the black on a loan.
Chicago - The Greater Chicago Food Depository paid their five highest earners: CEO Katherine Maehr ($355,615), VP of Development Jill Zimmerman ($265,483), CFO Dennis James ($263,663), CMO Joan Chow ($242,817), and VP of Community Impact Nicole Robinson ($241,520), The organization had revenues of $122.6 million last year and 75.1% of revenues went to relief programs.
And that is just the 5 highest earners. Poverty and Charity seem like very lucrative businesses to be in.
Notice that even the grocery meat specials are featuring the 80/20 % meats.
No meat is cheap or reasonable unless you are willing to pay a premium price.
They must think that all of us are grilling outdoors.
Rickards says no.
Rickards: They’re Wrong About Inflation
"The signals are clear. The economy is slowing, labor markets are weak, disinflation and even deflation are on the horizon, rates are going down, and gold prices are at a great entry price."
Wealthy areas in NJ have food banks; who can’t buy groceries but pays $17,000 in property taxes on a home?
While they serve a noble purpose, genuinely-needed food banks obscure the fact that something is very wrong. The French and Russian revolutions were powered by starving people, and while the change brought by them was horrific the status quo wouldn’t remain.
“They must think that all of us are grilling outdoors.”
No, they know we WILL BE grilling outdoors (/s)
Have no clue who that is and don’t really care to know. These days everyone and their dog and cat has an opinion about everything.
My feminazi sis-in-law hits the foodbank regularly. She’s poor, can’t seem to work well with others, a lifetime of stupid decisions, a bitch, super-stupid lib, lived in Austrailia for 25 years, loves socialism. A Strident virago. Is 72 and is preoccupied with getting laid...
Maybe she’ll starve and die. One can only hope.
Aldi has 73/27 ground beef for $1.79 lb this week. I usually buy 80/20. I suppose for meatloaf, chili, goulash it’ll be okay.
Guess she’s not your BFF. LOL
Church down the road from me has a “food bank” every Thursday.
Those late model Lexus’s, Expeditions, and Highlanders make me wonder what the heck these people are doing with their money.
