"Many of us are having trouble getting food, in between continued supply issues and white violence, but here are some tips you can use to help you adult successfully in today's complicated world.
1. Don't think of it as a empty fridge, think of it as an involuntary diet plan.
Before and even during the covid pandemic our waistlines were bulging out at the seams. Now, you don't even have to worry about that! Doctors say pre-pandemic 75% of US adults were overweight or obese and now that amount is going to start shrinking dramatically. Good news for you if you're in that 75%!
2. Use the moments otherwise spent cooking spending valuable quality time with your family.
Before covid, Americans spent upwards of 5 hours a week cooking or going out to eat. But now you can walk around in your woods or neighborhood looking for roots and berries with hubby and the kids! (We have a fantastic handy quick guide for safely preparing the things you and your kids find at www.listicle.everythingsfine.com)"
Glad to know I may have an alternate line of work if lawyering ends up not working out!
Oh, who am I kidding.
I'm going to the gulags with the rest of us if the worst timeline happens. Between an education, a decade plus of "toxic" hot takes and piss takes online, and a willingness to question things, the Party apparatchiks will be sending me to Vorkuta before I even get a chance to be the office gopher.
Devil's advocate: this is objectively less bad than the gas crisis of the 70s or war-rationing during WW2 but only because we have so much more today than we did back then; still, all of this is self-inflicted which the writer and many might miss. We can easily end the staffing and supply chain issues at any time, whereas previous shortages were due to outside circumstances.
That's what makes all the nonsense with the inflation and supply chain so galling. Okay, there's a war, or a cartel gets together to bottleneck oil. Not good but we have to make sacrifices when our country's at war and can't help when the people making a resource everyone needs decide to buddy up to drive the prices up.
But the nonsense we've had to deal with since March 2020, completely self-inflicted over something that isn't even a threat unless you're fat and old. And we've known this for far longer than we haven't. Jan-May or so, ok, understandable to react as we did (to a point) when all we had was various footage of people being welded into their homes and massive smoke plumes from crematoria in China, but now?
And that's not even going into how even when we didn't know anything things started going overboard. The massive devaluing of the $, whole commercial sectors shut down for months. Paying people not to work. Driving small businesses into bankruptcy. Months of unchecked riots. Completely self-inflicted and it could have been avoided if we didn't have the misfortune to have the "leaders" we currently have.
All of that and they have the nerve to say "everything's fine!" "Don't worry about it!" "Inflation is good!"
edit: Oh, and for whatever reason, there's been surveys done floating around that show Democrat voters generally think the economy's good.
I've heard enough that it seems the gas crisis of the 70s was self-inflicted too. I've spoken about it with people who were alive at the time, and the common consensus was that they had the tankers full of fuel just sitting off the coast refusing to dock them. I can't remember what the supposed motive was, so take that with a grain of salt.
Makes me think of Western European nations mass importing refugees with the excuse that they'll do the jobs affluent Europeans don't want to, and help pay for all the government ponzi schemes.
Tempering your expectations and living more frugally would be reasonable-- if Americans had not traded all semblance of culture, religion, family, and most of their free time for the promise of a consumerist utopia.
If we are forced to produce labor and products with first-world discipline, live our social lives in a post-modernist degeneracy, and now can't even enjoy first world luxuries, what is the point? We sold the dignity and freedom of the old world for wealth, and now the globalists tell us the wealth isn't forthcoming. Why would we still uphold the system? Why should we be decent? We were robbed. The social contract is broken. Why tolerate the system at all? Why not just check out, collect welfare, play Vidya all day and abuse the system as much as possible?
Of course that's what more and more young people are doing, and detached morons like this author wring their hands and wonder why.
Shocked they haven't broken out the classic "The bad of a D president is always the result of having a R president before" card yet. Didn't take this long to say the inverse.
I'm expecting Biden is their fall guy and they're planning to oust him after he's been in office about two years. He's a puppet with dementia, and he can't last forever. They also need a way to make a president Kamala look better.
Fuck you! I lived through tnat baby tard. You don't have the right to put these people through that again because of your own selfish desires. It's time to cancel you.
Oh, so it's NOW that they tell us that things aren't so bad and that there are times and places that are even worse. When there aren't as many women in executive positions as they want, when there aren't enough alphabet people appearing in TV shows and movies, or when some gangbanging piece of shit gets arrested or killed for being a gangbanging piece of shit, it is evidence of MUH OPPRESSION from the STRAIGHT WHITE PATRIARCHY! But when we actually have a real mess on our hands that's completely due to leftards, THEIR people in the government, and THEIR politics, we all have to be told to shut up and stop whining.
They will keep lying and calling it “transitory”
Inflation and debasement are a feature of fiat currencies. Invest in something with real backing
We already passed "might be happening, but that's ok" and moved onto "and that's a good thing."

This is Pravda level good OP.

Sounds like Venezuela...
And all the while no one did anything of value about it.
And Pepe is trending again. He always accomplishes so much.

How they could think that, I have no idea.
40% of all dollars in circulation were printed in the last 12 months

I wasn’t alive during that time, but I suppose they were trying the Great Reset back then too,
LOL literally the only reason we signed the deed to our country away was for material affluence. Now they aren't even using that as an excuse.
Makes me think of Western European nations mass importing refugees with the excuse that they'll do the jobs affluent Europeans don't want to, and help pay for all the government ponzi schemes.
Then they put the refugees on welfare.
You sure this isn’t a Babylon bee article?
Reality is one giant Bee article.
They have been a trusted news source since 2020.

BOTH OF THOSE REGIMES PRINTED MONEY

It's the damned Trump economy /s

You will have nothing and you'll like it says the Washington Post
More like "lower your guard".
The media is making it out like 3% of people have quit their jobs for funzies. Seems like a reasonable number to almost be exclusely mandate related.
Yeah, and that's how Reagan and Eisenhower got elected.
