It was a difficult year for crops in my area.Originally Posted by 1beardedalpha
After people staying home during covet as long as they did the debt to gross domestic product ratio pretty much doubled. Now that in and of itself makes the American dollar worth half of what it was but...
Since we operate on a Fiat currency we will just continue to bail out and bury ourselves deeper in debt. Other economies are propped up on us.
There is no debt ceiling.
It doesn't matter who you vote for you get the same thing Republican or Democrat and usually one winds up doing the others dirty work when they're in office so as not to ruffle feathers enough that it causes an uprising or too big of a stir.
I've been a criminal in one fashion or another pretty much all of my life. I'm not free because my government grants it to me I'm free because I say so. Being free does not guarantee that you won't have enemies that are your own government.
I used to really care about politics. Now I just care about security for my family.
If the world ends tomorrow then I guess it ends tomorrow but at least I'll be doing my best until then.
I have always found it laughable that anyone would think that a billionaire could care about them or their freedoms. I think it's hilarious the way people root for their candidate like they're rooting for a football team. I look at it this way no matter which team wins the NFL still gets its money.
People are much easier to control when they're in two warring pins of sheep. If you let the little turds free range it's complete chaos and they can't be controlled.
So the media polarizes every issue possible to make sure that we don't see eye to eye.
The IRS is an unconstitutional organization and his taxation without representation. They pass codes which are law like every big government organization. The United States tax code is longer than all written law in most countries.
I'll just keep doing my thing not hurting anybody until they bring their shit to my door.
Between covid and this rough year on crops and inflation and fuel prices yes we will see high high food costs after harvest because Farmers with storage are going to store their grain until prices rise to cover the fuel that they've spent and the inflation cost.
Look at how adaptable we were during covid. Amazon boomed Walmart put him pick up kiosks.
The major companies are always ahead of the curve.
Next time you go to a gas station and look at the cost of the 20 oz bottle of soda think about what you paid 3 years ago.
Even though poor people believe that inflation is 8% to 9%, it's actually more like 30. Big companies already know this and they've already well adjusted for it.
We can play switcheroo and change money from our left hand to a right hand and keep printing paper that is useless but at the end of the day the American dollar is worth half what it was before covid.
I remember back in the '90s when people were talking about the government coming to get us and all that. Doomsday preppers have always been around and there's always been some great disaster that was fixing to wipe us off this planet.
I remember everybody saying there was going to be a great uprising all my life.
The fact is as long as you keep food in a person's belly put a TV in front of them and they have a little bit of cash in their pocket they don't really give a damn enough to put themselves in harms way. I believe the stay at home order was a prime example of this.
People talk real hard and the news is real scary. Frankly I just don't give a damn anymore.
