Global Depression 2022 - Time to do the Breadline Boogaloo!

[Angry Alt Right Nerd]

I refuse to eat spoiled food for the same reason I refuse to eat bugs.

Just buy generic brand foods, or is that also as bad as bugs?

I mean, yes, the traditional way of transporting weaponry would be on a container ship, but why wouldn't they put them on a oil tanker if they were concerned the Russians might intercept the delivery

Simply out, there's no space. If they were taking small arms that would be one thing, you could probaby stow them in the hold somewhere, but the implication is they're sending IFVs or other large equipment. You can't just stack a bunch of containers on the deck.

I just paid $61 for about ten items of snack food at the grocery store.

Same. Went to a gas station for food for a long ride home. Chips, sandwich, candy bar, soda. $21.75!

Would have been about $8-10 less a year ago.

Anyone ready for $12 a carton for eggs?

Unlikely at least where I live. Everyone has chickens and egg prices reflect that as being super low. I buy the super plus premium homo edition free range, organic, cage free eggs and they're about $3 a carton. Many homes around here have a dozen eggs for $2 from their own chickens. Lay so fast they simply can't get rid of them.

Anyone living in a major city at this point deserves exactly whats coming for them.

Don't know if this is a Supply Chain issue, or a oncoming Depression issue, but I drive for work through the midwest USA, lots of country back roads, and I am seeing huge vast tracts of farmland... completely unplanted. Fields that by now would've been tilled and readied for soy or corn are going to grass and returning to nature. No hogs on the hog farms, the fields and pens are empty and no smell as I drive past... so no piggies there. There's some cows on the cattle lots and grazing fields, but not as many as I've seen in the past. There's at least one dairy operation that looks like it's closed, gates are locked and no heifers or trucks to be seen. Then there's all the large diesel farm tractors and machines, sitting roadside with 'For Sale' signs, can't go a few miles down a road without seeing a tractor or combine or some other machine at the road for sale. It's like farmers in the region are just giving up.

This of course is just my anecdotal observation, but...

I'm going on a business trip in a few days which requires driving through a heavily rural part of an East Coast state: I'll soon post my observations to see if my results are similar.

That sounds sad. When it isn't water or labor, just simply nobody is doing it, something really fucky is going on.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Buy chickens. Keep them in your backyard. They pay for themselves over time.

 

[The Ugly One]

lmao I saw the Greeks bitching about this earlier

"We stole your shit but you can't steal our shit in response, that's piracy or something"

For a nation that was the birthplace of western philosophy and democracy, modern Greeks are shockingly retarded and stupid.

So what's America's excuse? They did it at our behest. The idea that bombing people and seizing their resources isn't an act of war originates with the USA, not Greece.

They will if eggs are fucking $12 a dozen, but is that $12 today money or inflation really starting to moon money?

Well, I didn’t read the article, but I’d have to guess that it’ll end up a combination of both.

They still don't see it coming at them. The fucker across the way still bitches about the sounds and smells of my backyard flock. Bitch, hope you like the taste of your pomeranians when the time comes.

Or botulism.

Yeah but that helps you lose weight again, right?

This isn't exactly a bad thing in the long term. Pre-Industrial farming techniques purposefully let fields go fallow in an effort to replenish the soil, it gets turned over to grazing herds for several years, maybe as long as a decade, as a byproduct the price of meat and secondary products like wool become far cheaper as its more plentiful.

One thing I've noticed in the northeast is a LOT more wheat being planted. Many fields that in any other year would have been planted to soy or corn are just filled with wheat. You always saw it planted here and there, but I think someone's definitely thinking about a worldwide grain shortage because it's everywhere.

 

[In Memoriam]

No, it kills you.

 

[Knight of the Rope]

No, it kills you.

Yikes, these fatties are so desperate to do anything except exercise that they're now resorting to putrefaction? Some people will do anything to avoid hitting the gym.

In the deep south, we are struggling with that last freeze fucking over most crops but especially citrus crop again (citrus greening not murdering the crop otherwise...). Been odd this year, usually freeze damage shows year of, but this year I got called by a client complaining about freeze damage showing this year despite no freeze.

I know a few guys who went bankrupt over this shit. One dude lost about 400k of pecan trees in the freeze. Peach orchards still most affected because peaches in the TX panhandle is financial suicide. My former employer lost 360K (~500+ >95 gallons) of oak trees this year due to delayed freeze damage and then humidity = fungal disease heaven.

Palm prices have quadrupled because idiots still want queen palms even though they die at the mere mention of a freeze, same for citrus. Most nurseries are out of stalk of common landscape plants in the larger degree.

Prefabed houses still seem to be booming, we are in the biggest of bull markets.

So you're saying it might have somethings to do with the fertilizer shortages then?
