“Who has a stock of food and water? Who paid theirs debts and have zero loans? Who has a generator? Weapons? A stash of money? Etc etc.”

I have tried to prepare for this. Working on the Generator. No stash of $ but do have a stash of silver. Have some stock of food and water (in spite of the Wife). No loans to speak of other than the mortgage.

Weapons? Inquiring minds want to know (about that boat accident).

“These are the people whose paycheck was deposited without fail while officials closed people’s businesses or places of employment. “

I don’t recall businesses being closed by government order around here. Schools, yes. Federal government projects, yes. In fact, I went about my life during the pandemic 95% like any other time. No mask except for Dr. office.

Obama is right in the middle of it. He hates America with a passion.

All of this will be ‘resolved’ by a massive war completely resetting the global economic dynamic. EU/America/BRICS reshuffling/realignment. It’s inevitable and we are in the end of the beginning of it.

I haven’t seen eggs for 1.49 in forever, maybe early lockdowns at Easter time? Maybe.

I have seen (and purchased) boneless chicken breasts in bulk for $1.99/lb a couple of weeks ago from my local Meijer store (Avon, Indiana). It was actually the week after New Year’s. Only have a few breaths left in the freezer.

I try hard to find things on sale, and stock up when that happens. I have room for 3 dozen eggs at a time in my fridge. I haven’t paid less than $6 a dozen for quite some time. Butter was on sale for $3.50/pound a week ago (Kroger). Bought a bit of that then, too.

It’s tough, but I keep trying to get good deals and make smart purchases. We are surviving, but the budget has been blown to smithereens.

*** I don’t recall businesses being closed by government order around here.***

Not sure where you live, but during lockdowns, any business that wasn’t *essential* was closed down here. State government closed them down, not federal. It was awful!

I haven’t seen “wage inflation” not tied to skills/quality improvements in a very long time. Certainly nothing on a par with inflation in gas ‘n’ groceries.

I just looked at it with Google Chrome on Android 11 and received no warning.

You’ve got some plugin or other software making false claims!

I was mistaken; I went back and checked and there was a interval (not long) when “non-essential” businesses were ordered closed by the governor. But everywhere I go (and I’m out every day and was then) stayed open presumably because of food sales, pharmacy, etc. It is true that dining rooms in restaurants were closed.

I have all that and I’m still not prepared. Once your stash is gone, then what?
