It's about to get very real

I live in California… and I hear already that several crops,
melons for example, are rotting in the fields because
the workers, illegals, have fled… in Georgia, they had
to destroy hundreds of thousands of pounds of chicken
due to Avian flu… quite a few restaurants around here
have already reported that quite a few of their workers
have suddenly quit…

Now think about this nationally… entire crops going to
waste in the fields… a shortage of eggs has been going
on for weeks, extend that to the basics that is done
by illegals… I would say by summer, you will find entire
shelves empty… Restaurants will be shorthanded or have
to close due to not enough workers…

The price of groceries will double, if not triple, by summer…
and good luck finding produce…

At best, we will fall into a recession, but more realistically,
within a year, I would say we are in a depression, and that
doesn’t include the inevitable stock market crash that will occur…
most businesses will have falling sales and that will impact
the stock market… my 401K plan will tank, as will most
boomers and if they, as I suspect will do, they will reduce
or even end Social Security and Medicare… and that will
turn the vast majority of all people over 65 into poverty…
with no hope of earning any money at all…

wide segments of the society, the aged as well as the very
young will get hit extremely hard… they are talking about
taking away all entitlement programs that benefit the
very young… WIC for example and school lunch
programs…

at it is right now, over 300,000 people in the US already
go bankrupt from health care costs… that will easily triple…
I am putting off my cochlear implant this year because
the cost to me will be a couple of thousands of dollars…
and hundreds of thousands of people will be forced
to forgo vital surgeries because of the costs…
and the death rate in America will skyrocket…
and does the MAGA/GOP party care?

In fact, that is the plan… part of the design in which
the wealthy, as part of their decades long war against
the middle and lower class, will try to reap every single
penny left in America…

The coming Civil war will not, NOT be the right vs left,
but it will be a class war, the middle and poor against
the wealthy… this has been the case since the
Ancient Greeks had several civil wars that focused
on the poor vs the wealthy… the Romans had the
same problem… and now its America turn…

Buckle up kids… we will be totally fucked within two years…
So, here is what you can do… become totally self-sufficient…
or stock up as many groceries as you can…
get chicken and freeze as much of it as you can get…
by cans of everything you can get your hands on…
don’t, under any circumstances waste your money on toilet
paper or other idiocy… do however, buy water
under the theory that the infrastructure will partly
or totally collapse… the supply chain in America is,
as Covid showed us, fragile at best… count on it
failing as it did during Covid…

Take the worst scenario you can imagine and double it
and that might, might get close to the next few years…

the next step is that IQ45 will declare a national emergency,
martial law for example… making the need to always, just
as the Nazis did, make everyone to have papers just to
travel… during Covid, I had a piece of paper declaring me,
as an essential worker, and I had the right to travel day or night,
to get to my job… that will come back…guaranteed…

I will have retired by the end of this year, so, I will no longer
be considered an ‘‘essential worker’’ as I was during Covid…
just keep this in mind… it’s a coming…

this shit is about to get very real… again, by summer,
you won’t be able to recognize America…

Sounds like you’re going down, keter. What you need is your own business of some kind and some decent crypto investment. Wage and salary earners are not experiencing increases in pay proportionate to the rising costs of living and inflation in general.

Do you have any trade experience whatsoever… and is your area of San Fran have a decent amount of residential and or commercial building and trade work?

I’m tellin you man if you had a trade skill and lived in a good booming area of development you could buy a thousand dollars of tools, drop an ad on Angie’s and craisglist and your phone would start blowing up.

The last wage i made working for a capitalist shit stack was $23 per hour back in 2020. Today i average at least $100 per hour, sometimes $200. Make eight hundred in six hours sometimes. Do my own taxes, write all my expenses off. Lunch, truck, material receipts, fuckin lattes, everything.

Do this (if you have a skill set). Post a test ad. Say you can paint. Put an ad up and observe what kind of work requests you get, and how often. A week or two. Listen you can make more painting a couple rooms in three hours than you make in an eight hour day at the grocery store. Or electrical knowledge. People call me all day to wire alarms, hang ceiling fans, mount TVs, swap light fixtures. I don’t do that stuff but you can make $125 just to hang fuckin fan, boss.

Supermarket chains were the beginning of the downfall, of a decent food chain… which now needs to be reset.

Most people can live without melons, but they can’t live without local/fresh-farmed meat and seasonal veg.

Voting with our pockets… the way forward.

If someone talks to me about doing their laundry, I’ll be interested.

If someone talks about the zen of doing laundry, I’ll be compelled by it, even fascinated

Also. People don’t like derails? Right.

Even if the question is already answered.

Anything besides cosmic discussions is trolling in real life and detailing.

I don’t hate them for it.

But it always comes back to cosmic discussions

Our local law enforcement won’t help ICE unless they are breaking actual (non-immigration-related) laws, and as long as folks are (nonICE-provoking-) law-abiding & don’t hang out with criminals, ICE doesn’t seem to be after them.

There is definitely tension over here. Not about food. About people we care about.

I hope Elon gets his way with the work visa thingy. Yes I have no clue what I’m talking about. spits on the floor so it appears I do

They are like the folks who help drug lords while getting rich off the opioid deaths. Or landlords pocketing pandemic money while illegally evicting folks, and price gouging instead of increasing income based housing inventory.

Elon could make $$$ ending the housing crisis—he has the inventory ready right now, doesn’t he?

Robber barons will have none of that.

Farmers (what?) farmers (what?)

Just sayin.

They only legalized pot to tax the hell out of it. While they kill people with fentanyl.

Etc etc etc.

We’ll see how it goes.

The ones with survival skills are not worried.

Should I collect all the money to make the world a better place?

People don’t change Ichthus.

The women tricked me before. They’re not going to trick me again.

Let’s go back to before there was money, man.
