Okay fine. I was at that stage 4 weeks ago. You will get through this, or at least some of you will. Lol. We should all be thankful Trump had energized our economy. Right now I am sitting on more food then I ever sat on before. We at least were in a position to prepare. Now perhaps we should assist and help those less fortunate. Imagine being caught right now with 3 days food and $20 total available cash. And the third world just may be beyond decimated.

I am not comfortable blaming anyone (even the Chinese—at least without more hard evidence of intent).

This will be a time for folks to step up and help where they can—and fight the urge to point fingers.

“Imagine being caught right now with 3 days food and $20 total available cash”

$4.94 - 10/lb bag of chicken quarters = 8 legs and 8 big thighs
$3.87 - 3 lb pork roast ($1.29/lb)
$2.24 - 5 lb rice
$1.98 - 2/lb beans
$1.78 - 2 lb pasta
$4.80 - 10 canned vegetables (.48 each)

Total = $19.61

Save the can liquid off the veggies, boil the meat bones, throw in the leftovers and you’ve got a pot of soup.
