The excess of heat and drought trashed my garden beds this summer. Then finally, it was coming back with the 80-degree temps, only to freeze to death the other night.
You paint a very bleak picture here. I hope you’re being overly pessimistic, but it’s still better to be prepared unnecessarily than the other way around.
I toned it down to try and not seem overly pessimistic from where I think things are heading. That being said I desperately hope I am totally wrong and everything just turns out fine, but I don't think I am. Already the poor and lower middle class are skipping meals and over running foodbanks beyond their capacity to provide. Foodbanks are closing due to the inability to source food and prices just keep going up while selection and variety of food items decrease. We are seeing more empty section in grocery stores and items are more frequently unavailable. We have a very large fuel problem with diesel. While we have been down to a 25 day supply before at that time it was being replenished at a rate faster than it was consumed resulting in a net gain of resources and an eventual build up of supply unfortunately that is not the case at this time consumption is at a rate greater than replenishment and depending on the disparity in the two we will eventually run out of diesel. Even if it is only for two or three days that would totally crash the system.
I don't know if these problems are intentional, do to incompetence, the death of American fiat, or a combination (probably a combination). But, When administration officials repeatedly say things like les fuel is good because it helps the transition and other insane disconnected things I have a hard time not thinking it is not at least a little intentional in the worst possible way because they don't understand at all the consequences of their actions.
Again I hope with all my heart that I am wrong about this and many other things, but the more I read , see, and hear the more I am convinced I am not.
