    Shit is about to get real. Hell I don't even consider myself a prepper but over the last few years I have quietly assembled two full shelving units worth of Mountain House/Peak/Wise/Auguson 30 year shelf life premade meals (in 4 gallon buckets) and #10 cans full of powdered eggs, powdered cheese, powdered milk, etc. Figure it's a full 2-3 month supply of food for a family of 4-5. I know all the "real" preppers sort of scoff at huge loads of the premade just add water stuff, preferring to go full on canning vacuum sealing warlord style, but this was a good low stress way for me to prepare with a good chunk of emergency food stuffs. I also bought tons of water purification tabs, fish antibiotics, etc.

    Not trying to be alarmist but I had long thought people would lose their minds in any kind of sustained power grid failure type situation (whether it be cyber attack or solar flare), and had done very low grade prepping for years, but when I watched shelves go barren for weeks and toilet paper be out for months after Covid kicked off it really prompted me to get a bit more serious about having food available in the event of some catastrophic situation, which it looks like the Biden presidency is turning into. Funny to think I got serious thinking about your usual catastrophes like solar flares, real pandemics and the like, but it turns out a dementia addled racist green grifter and his merry band of retard dems are more likely to cause you to starve than a run of the mill catastrophe. They are the catastrophe.

    I also just bought another humidor so I can get that filled up in the event I can't get cigars for a few years. This is probably the most important part of my prepping. A reliable tobacco source.

    Where did you say you lived?
    Camelot Trailer Court. Feel free to stop by.


    Sweet ride but how can you afford gas for that girl in times like this?

    Orkin provides a gas card for filling up company trucks which I then steal for my personal vehicle.
    Had a co-worker busted for filling up her boyfriend’s car with her Amex card. Her planning wasn’t stellar. When miles do not reflex gas consumption, that’s a tell.

    Raise taxes and create a massive price control regulatory structure. Fauxcahontas sure learned a lot of quality economics at Harvard. Same mad skillz as the slobberer. She should be so proud.

    India blocking all wheat exports as of last Friday. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/14/india-blocks-all-wheat-exports-with-immediate-effect.html

    Couple this with the impact on grain supplies due to Russia v Ukraine and the shit is going to really hit the fan. The poorest countries will suffer most with large scale starvation and unrest.

    India is Russias most effective ally. They let the world know they were team Red as soon as the first tanks went over the border. China is sitting on deck. LIPO.

    The Gubment paying Farmers to either not grow or destroy crop is nothing new.

    But what is new is when all of it is in high demand globally.

    In the past, it was done to raise prices.

    Now it’s being done to starve people.

    When you cancel over 100 incentives to the O&G industry, your intent is to shut it down. The gov can't tell private mineral rights owners what to do with their land but they can make it very difficult for smaller O&G's to operate. These insane people are very serious about getting rid of FF and if millions have to lose their means of survival, they don't F'n care because their religion tells them they're saving the world.

    Getting actual drilling permits is now an expensive and time delayed for years. Financing institutions are under great pressure not to finance. Doing ROI computations on after-tax cash flows is a nightmare because of the dems promise to stop the sale of internal combustion engines. Oh, and the threat/promise to tax the sh*t out of any successful well.

    Recently had an offer to lease some minerals rights that was 1/2 the amount offered per acre than when Trump was in office.

    The O&G Co. was also asking for pre-payment of my percentage of drilling costs. That’s a first.
