Revelation 6:6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" [NIV]

Lets see, the cost of raising livestock will raise, and the end price of beef/pork will rise. Many farmers will go bankrupt and go out of business. Others will severly curb livestock production, meaning supply will drop, demand will increase, driving prices up more.

We are already diverting corn from human/livestock consumption to ethanol production, for this Gorebull warming scam, causing corn prices to rise, or corn supplies for food to be short.

We have a "president-elect" who wants "everybody" to sacrifice for the greater good. He'll tax gas so that we use less, to "protect" the environment. He'll reinstate the presidential ban on offshore oil drilling. He'll ban ANWR and any othe wilderness drilling. The US will be at the whims of Russia and OPEC for our oil.

Oil prices will once again rise, add to that The Ones gas taxes gas will be 6,7, or $10 a gallon.

The cost of gas will cost transportation cost to go up, meaning food prices will rise.

Trucking companies were already getting hit hard this past spring and summer. In the future many will outright go out of business. What companies are left, will not be able to handle all the trucking needed to be done. Slowing the entire economy more, but also meaning store shelves be be less stocked. Less stock means higher prices.

During the Great Depression, unemployment hit 25%. Imagine that many people out of work, wages will at the least stagnate if not drop and everything will be more expensive.

Add to this our government printing money faster than the machines can print it, in the form of "bailouts". We have another sign of inflation.

So many negative signs out there. And government officials bound and determined to turn us into a third world country/planet.

It has long been touted that grocery stores hold only a 3 day supply of goods.

If trucking companies continue to struggle and die, the riots over “food” will make yesterday’s deaths look like nothing.
