We’ve been stocking the freezer and the pantry for some time now. I’ve had a bad feeling about a ‘perfect storm’ impacting food prices and availability.
I was born in ‘65. We grew up mocking the Soviet Union for their police-state, corrupt politics, inability to produce consumer goods, their lying/propaganda Pravda, price controls, their lack of freedom to worship.... Now Russia is more free than we are in the USA.
Crazy clown world.
The folks that are going to have REAL PROBLEMS are families with teenagers in the household if you have 2 or 3 teenagers in the household it is impossible to stock up on things!! Those families and THOSE WOMEN VOTERS are going to be pissed!! THOSE WOMEN who just hated those mean tweets are going to be BEGGING to only have to deal with a few mean tweets!!
The Soviet Union had economic hardship with mostly law abiding citizens and tough law enforcement.
Imagine a country with economic hardship that coddles criminals.
