Are you preparing for the coming depression?

Again, not one denial of anything I said.

No sense in denying that they destroyed an entire nation in less than 2 years. May as well laugh about it.

The shortages are real, the warnings are real and coming from your side.

As people walk down the grocery store isle scratching their heads wondering why their big crust frozen pizza seems to always be out of stock.

Look at India, protecting their own.

Could be an investable opportunity in the eft called $weat. Minimum investment is $11.64 but if you don’t have it you can buy partial shares.

Naaaa . . . . let’s just complain that those opportunities are open only to the super-secret super-rich.

Yeah, what an odd thing for a country to do

Good point. I am dumber than a rock when it comes to stock and purchasing them but even that (what you posted) I can understand

I continue to ask questions and you guys continue to not answer. Again, not one denial of anything I said. The shortages are real, the warnings are real and coming from your side. Joe is the one who warned of food shortages. We are seeing it.

What is there to deny? Inflation is high, gas prices are high, stocks are down and everything is kind if a mess right now. Your side gets to take the easy win and say it’s all Biden’s fault. He’s the president and the responsibility falls on him. The reality is it wouldn’t have mattered if Trump won the economy would still be in the same position it is right now.

We are here because of covid and the world reaction to it. You can’t shutdown the world economy for 16 months and not expect consequences.

I have never put in the learning time it would take to become a long term investor directly in commodities, but if you can figure out buy-low and sell-high investors like me can buy a commodity etf.

Some come with some additional risk because they are small and/or very thinly traded but other than that they are pretty straight forward.

Peter Schiff manages one so you can invest in gold via E*Trade, Ameritrade etc…

That’s what etfs were created for. Right now the most heavily invested one is called SQQQ. I don’t have to figure out WHICH call to sell or which put to buy. It shorts the NASDAQ. If the NAS goes down 1% in a day it goes up 3%. Since January 1 the NAS is down about 30% and if you owned SQQQ on Jan 1 you made over 90%.

Of course, that doesn’t even include the fact that our tax bills are also up.

That’s one is on Trump. Biden tax code changes don’t go into effect until next year

@Gaius

So what does this mean in Mexico. If there is a shortage inf infant formula in Mexico, and free infant formula at the border (regardless of whether the stories of “pallets” are true) it seems logical for parents of newborns to make the trip now.

But there isn’t a baby formula shortage in Mexico

But you can however celebrate because it’s under a Democrat and pretend you are not.

Half the posts are giddy with excitement because dems are in power

One can only hope …. That’s all a lot of this drama is.

+1 to FreeAndClear

There is quite a bit of schadenfreude over the state of affairs.

[TommyLucchese]

Yeah, I have a ton of booze and cigarettes to barter and I know a guy with an arsenal of guns and not much sense. I’ll be okay.

That’s unfair, they’ve literally been saying America is going to collapse and we deserve it the entire time I’ve been posting here.

Wow that’s going way back to the housing bubble. I guess you’ve kept your brain cells all these years. (grin)

Personally, I’ve begun making preparations that I never seriously thought I’d have to make. I’ve been stocking up on food for one and other necessities. Medicines, batteries and other items that will become harder to get as people see their resources shrink and supermarket shelves get emptier and emptier. I’ve moved one of my guns from the safe to my nightstand drawer.

You don’t still have your Glenn Beck Survival food bucket from the Obama era?

Ha ha, GOOD ONE!

Even the leftist main stream news is no longer ignoring the issues, they’re actually beginning to do their job and report these things. How do you continue to remain in your alternate reality when even your masters can’t hide what’s going on?

Maybe you’re asking the wrong questions? For example, we have no masters.

I see no evidence that the left wing media was reporting issues regarding inflation, rising gas prices, and food shortages.

Exactly… this plus Russia’s war.
