So....should I buy a cow this weekend? From our friends who raise cattle? (meat for the winter)
seriously -are we looking at everything shutting down?
Anyone have a guess at likelihood (percentage-wise) of collapse vs. no collapse?
Don't mean to jump in on your comment to another FReeper, but I wanted to stress to you that you shouldn't "freak out" over what is going on. God has it covered.
Make your decisions deliberately and with understanding as to why you are making them.
My advice on sides of beef always falls towards buying it if you can afford it. It's better than what you get in the store, cheaper, and is nice to have when unexpected guests visit.
