This rhetoric is just trying to butter us up for the impending next round of price gouging.
If something seems too expensive, don’t buy it and opt for goods with less headway for markup. Start cooking scratch meals and cut out the prefab stuff; you’ll take more time for food prep, but it will save you thousands in medical bills later on.
There any sense on what would be good to stock up on now? When I've searched this, the advice is usually pretty worthless. Just advice indistinguishable from general prepper stuff. I've seen recommendations to stock up on things like flour, things that the US produces domestically in abundance. But some necessities are going to be more vulnerable to disruptions in shipments from China than others.
Anyone find a good guide or have a sense of what basic household necessities are going to be most vulnerable to disruption of trade with China? I'm not concerned with things like consumer electronics right now, those are luxuries. I'm talking basic food and household staples. I don't need the standard prepper list that's meant to prepare you for grave natural disasters. What's really needed is an analysis of precisely what necessities are most likely to be interrupted by this.
Has anyone seen such a list, or have a sense for what necessities are most vulnerable here?
If it's really like Covid, toilet paper will be the first thing to go.
I bet the US bomb stores are still fully stocked for *srael.
There is such an abundance we will have to use them against our civilian population just to keep from throwing them out.
I have the worst timing …. I’ve been trying to eat my way down to an empty freezer. I bought a chest freezer in covid and kept it full ever since, but it really needs to be defrosted. I still have more stuff in there than can fit in all my coolers and in the fridge.
But maybe I should restock while I can and try again to defrost in four years
You think things will be better in Trump's 3rd term? 🤔
If you deposed your dictator this wouldn't be happening.
Nah, just roll over and yell "FREEDOM".
WTF, this bullshit again.
Well... look who's president again. Just saying
Let's see how long they can survive on thoughts and prayers.
Ahah good hope they starved
Everyone ready to start intermittent fasting without choice?
It’s one way to lower the obesity rate.
Strategic... They stopped paying for wegovy first to get people desperate.
Grateful at this moment for my wife who grew up food insecure who stocked up several months of food. That will run out though eventually.
I've been seeing a lot of tiktoks about raising meat rabbits lately
rabbit stew 🤤
I'm gonna combine it with intermittent non-pooping.
Any society is three meals from revolution
This probably won't be a starvation situation. This will be a supply crunch for all the cheap shit at Walmart and Target that Americans love.
All the sugar addicts are going to flip.
That’s all it will take.
They really want to pick up where they left off huh
