Preppers' PING!!

Valencia has big factories that produce food and other essentials. Still, the list of goods in short supply is long.

It includes coffee, cooking oil, cornmeal, soap, detergent, you name it.

Chicken is one of the most coveted.

Just spend your days stealing chickens from the rich folk’s yards.

What I’d like to know is: are the factories still in production and, if so, where are those products going?

To make this information more meaningful, I would like to see reporting as to specifically which items are in the most demand; that way smart preppers will stock up on useful things for barter. I would imagine that people are mostly using dollars and barter for exchange, but that information would be important as well.

I look at VZ as a textbook case of societal collapse. Many of these things will be repeated in very similar ways when/if this happens in the US. Of course there will be variations based on climate, culture, local resources, but people generally behave similarly under these conditions.

I'm roasting coffee right this minute. Good stuff.

Beats that canned crap.

City chickens filled the streets in Venezuela three years ago. Wonder if the people have made use of that resource.
