The old Laurel & Hardy bit that ended with well Ollie, this is another fine mess youve gotten us into seems a fitting statement right now, only nobody is laughing. We are going to need to start planting Victory gardens this year. Farmers cant get labor, now they cant get fertilizer, running equipment will be insanely expensive with current fuel prices and when there is a crop to harvest, transportation costs will be through the roof. What does that mean for food prices? Dont need to be an economist to figure that one out.
This isnt going to be just a little spike in the price of groceries. Both cost and availability will be issues. How much of your budget will go towards food let alone putting gas in your car or heating your home. If the excursion ended tomorrow we would still be looking a a rocky stretch ahead. Every day this goes on, we are facing a longer period of real pain and a deeper mess. So, yes Donald, this is another fine mess youve gotten us into. Time to do the Trump limbo dance to see how low we can go.

(1,996 posts)There are some very bad outcomes that we may have believed unthinkable that are becoming more likely. Makes you think it might be purposeful to justify even more authoritarian measures by the misadministration.

I think that the majority of magats will just go along, but they have some extremely unstable "members" who aren't the "It's OK that you lied to me" type.

(2,429 posts)None of this matters. To the rest of us, we cant afford health care, cant afford gas, cant afford housing, cant afford food. Where does this end? No place good, Im pretty sure of that.Were in a mess now and to quote Bill Paxtons character in Aliens, were on the express elevator to hell-going down.
