A little prepping advise comes in handy. I get to link this one in my prepping section instead of the economic section or news section today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Can you direct us more specifically to an article there that lays out some of your ideas for being prepared. I agree with the state of the economy and the world as you present it there, but I'm hoping for just the practical ideas on what you can do to help yourself. Lots of good article there (including one of mine, thanks ; ) but I couldn't find the prepping part.
Stock up on pinto beans and rice use mylar bags with oxygen absorbers to seal the bags and they will last 25 years if sealed right ✅️ if this war blows up the entire Persian gulf infrastructure we are looking at 10 years of famine. You will need 10 years of food for a poor guy like me rice and beans are the only way, don't waste money on expensive meal kits there just stuff like chicken flavored rice anyway pack fresh usa is a great company to buy mylar and oxygen absorbers DONT buy em on Amazon Chinese ripoff companies galore on Amazon good luck to us all God bless
Luckily we wont actually see 10 years of famine as a result of Gulf problems, thats clearly a ridiculous assertion.
But as an Australian I actually do wish it was true for the USA and everyone there suffers badly, enough to hurt, for what you have done to the rest of the world.
Yes we will you don't know what your talking about crocodile Dundee if natural gas trains keep getting hit we won't have enough to make nitrogen fertilizer for half the world we would be looking at 2 to 4 billion people starving. It's not our fault what the government does we hate them to we can't stop them but even if this war stops it looks like Australia is gonna wither on the vine anyway.
The opportunity to provide a kick in the butt was not what was asked for here. Some actually helpful ideas, even for people in Australia would be worth something. Australians and Kiwi's right now are set for some real trouble due to the oil crisis. They are not well prepared. They didn't bring the crisis upon themselves, and they were smart not to join the war as allies, as they have usually done in the past; however, they are not well prepared for an energy crisis of this proportion.
Some individuals, of course, are; but I'm talking about the government and the Australian and New Zealand economies. While you want the US to suffer badly for what Trump has done, and I get that, you are going to suffer badly, too. So, I hope you can actually come up with some practical ideas to share.
Yes there's a lot of good videos on YouTube about storing food i recommend provident prepper you can get 25 years out of rice and beans if all the oxygen is gone thank you David 😊
Stocking up on heating fuel during the summer is a great idea. When I used propane for heating, cooking, drying clothes, etc, I first rented a 250 gallon tank. The annual rent wasn't bad, but it locked me to the company I rented it from. One day I had the wild idea to call around to see what other propane companies were charging for a tank fill. I was shocked to discover that the company I was "locked to" charged the highest price per gallon. When winter was over and the residual was at it lowest, I called them to pick up their tank. I then bought a 500 gallon tank from another company. Owning the tank allows you to shop around for the best propane price.
My second shock came when I discovered that the summertime price of propane was about 20% to 25% less than the wintertime price. Supply and demand. The "sweet spot" was the last week in July or the first week in August, when the temperature was 90º+ and no one was using propane for heat or thinking about stocking up for the winter. I called around for the best price, then filled my tank once a year, in the dead of summer. The 400 gallons (80% fill) got me through to next summer.
Excellent thoughts, especially on buying your own tank so you can shop around. When we had the farm, I was locked into the one on the lease. This would have been a good approach. And good to see the specifics on the "sweet spot." Though I was sure that was generally the case, you gave it definition.
Definitely. Say what you want about the Fed's money, but it is still the only readily fungible currency in town if you live in the US. Gold and sliver have longterm store of value if bought at the right price and not the peak, but they are really hard to actually transact in. You basically have to convert them back to greenbacks in order to do business as most people/businesses won't trust you on our PMs, and you lose some in the conversion. So, they have a place, but cash on hand is good to have.
Equally important, might be deploying some of that cash now and stocking up on commodities before the prices rise since the cash is losing value quickly to inflation; however, there is often only so much that you have room to store or that you can get through before the shelf life, AND you'll always need some things that have very poor shelf lives, which is where you still need some cash.

Wow. I didn't know you could get 25 years with that trick. Otherwise, the beans are good for about two years.

You need green bills... cash is king in tough times...
