I’ll be right over to fill-up my Jeep Grand Cherokee’s 64cuft cargo bay with crates.
(ahem) My friends and relatives usually call before they come.
Is your number still 000-000-blam?
Potato supplies around here are getting thin. There are still potatoes to buy, but the section isn’t nearly as full as it used to be, and there are a lot more damaged, green, or rotten potatoes in the mix. Dad brought home a bag that ended up mostly seed potatoes, because there just wasn’t much left after cutting around the bad spots. It made me really glad I had ordered so many seed potatoes back in December. I’m planning on a huge potato patch.
Also, bird seed is getting expensive. I use it as a treat for my laying hens, but this year I’ll be planting lots of sunflower seeds and millet so I can mix my own. That’s in addition to feed crops in case their pellets get too expensive or hard to find. Good thing they like squash!
Do you have a Lidls by you? For most things they are cheaper than Walmart.
Last week I paid $1.25 for jumbo.
Hearing Aldi’s is even cheaper.
Even still here in the DC area at regular grocery stores eggs this week are about $2.60.
Wonder why some states are getting hit so much harder.
I’m sure it’s not political./s
I’m pretty sure the war is between govt’s and the citizens of the world.
Unfortunately the citizens of the world appear to be too stupid to realize they are being savaged... over and over again.
No bueno for us....
“No other Country in the World indoctrinates its Citizens to hate their Country “
Yes, that would be perfectly ridiculous.
The only conclusion I can come to is that “leadership” is not ours right now. So we got a problem.
Apathy and tolerance got us here... it’s our fault.
The left is not apathetic and it has a zero tolerance policy. You try to do one little thing, like protect kids from grooming and they go absolutely asymmetrically apeshit. This is what we should have been doing all along.
“Last time I didn’t buy one, a lousy Egg McMuffin was $5.29.”
My entire McDonald’s breakfast, every day pretty much, is $6.06.

I spoke of Central America which is not just across the border. I spent three and a half years of my life in Latina America. There are paradise places there as well as shanty towns. And despite Leftwing propaganda that places like El Salvador have just rich and poor with no middle class, there is a huge middle class there. In a food shortage scenario, food-growing places become more attractive.
I did not say “merely” fruit-growing trees but listed several reasons. Maybe you should speak in facts instead of just calling me an “idiot”.
$6.06 every day is over $2200 a year. I can’t afford to spend that at McDonald’s, myself. That’s more than three mortgage payments.
Indeed! You did list several reasons:
Or ... the migration may start going the other way. There are lots of low-maintenance fruit trees in Central America. They still use a lot of oxen teams for plowing. They use lots of natural fertilizers. The large corn fields and cane fields get plenty of petro-based fertilizers but the first year without those will lower the yield but the harvest would still be substantial. They already ignore the protections on such things as sea turtle eggs and more harvesting prohibitions and/or limits would be ignored if things got tough.
I'm sorry, but as interesting as these details are, I still don't think that they in any way justify a sanguine attitude about significant numbers of spoiled, pampered, consumer-oriented Generation-Z Americans fleeing to Central America.
The image of a young, entitled, latte-drinking pyjama boy driving a team of oxen and ploughing a field evoked laughter in me.
The absurdity!
Maybe you should speak in facts instead of just calling me an “idiot”.
I didn't call you an "idiot" - but I sincerely regret creating the impression that I had.

The reverse migration would be among Latinos not Gringos.
That is a fundamental distinction.
Not being an expert on Latin American conditions (as you are), I will withhold my opinion - but I concede that it might be plausible.
Regards,
I’ve never heard of a Lidls in the York area. I usually shop at Weis Market, where I’ve been going for 25+yrs. I’ll have to stop by Aldi and check their prices.
OMG $2200 😳 I didn’t realize that.
I do use points from the McD app to get free items whenever I can.
