It feels like we're in the eye of the storm right now and this will be our last chance to prepare before shit really gets bad.

We don’t even have any riots right now.

We need another good nationwide riot. Covid and Ukraine are just getting boring.

The dems are not in a good light right now, are running out of talking points and taking a stand on being able to sexually indoctrinate children, they are beating war drums, being caught in lies left and right, and in general have never been this reviled (that I can recall).  It's an election year and they don't have a lot to lose.

They are cornered in a sense, and cornered animals are the most dangerous.   Anything can happen.  I put nothing past them, including another wave of of illness to try and cover another wave of cheating.

I think this is going to be a long, hot summer.

Things we know for sure…

Food prices will continue to climb drastically
Inflation will continue to rise
Fuel is unlikely to go down a large amount

Things we don’t know…

All out war
Our economy completely crashing for any number of reasons
Reactions of the American public when things get worse


I am about to buy tickets to Scotland in a few months because screw it, you can’t live your life in fear. However, I am only comfortable in doing this as I am ready for hard times.

All it takes is Russia to decide us supplying the Ukrainians with advanced weapons constitutes a act of war

I don’t know but it seems about 75% of stuff in my life went to shit while I was on vacation last year so I’m really hoping when I go on vacation in a month and a half it resets what the fuck ever cosmic switch I tripped.

I would predict Dems try to tamp down the crazy.
It won't benefit them in the mid-terms to have a bunch of riots this year.

Lets just say that im buying more tops for more pmags.

And hedging inflation by stocking up on as much dry food as i can store.

Im also stocking up on alternative heating sources for next winter. Lots of heater buddy and kerosene stuffe. Lots of candles.

I also moved most of my equities to either mining or commodies

I bought $80 worth of groceries for $105. It cost $20 more to fill up a tank of gas. I went looking for Easter specials on Glock mags, and found they went up everywhere. My 401K has been having a stroke for the past four months with no signs that it's going to recover.


Contrary to the Pollyanna bullshit, things are not good, and there's no indication they will be.

Bad? I just built a coop and filled it with chickens. Bought a ton of stuff to plant in a garden I haven't got to plant in years. This rat race just might end and we can finally go back to living like we did as kids. Care free.
Something came to me a while back one night on arfcom pissed off at all the new gov bullshit being talked about. Freedom is mine. Nothing is preventing me from doing what I want but me. As a kid I rebeled against any and all authority as soon as I could see I was being lied to. Somewhere I lost that rebel spirit. Got stuck in the trap. I am choosing to live free again. If someone wants to take that from me it's worth defending. The "freedom" we have now isn't. If the day comes, I will die with memories worth having because I have enough regrets. Live like a free man. You will soon find happiness, and with it something worth defending. I promise it gets better as soon as you stop worrying. There is light at the end of the tunnel so just keep walking. Don't worry about the whistle, it's been blowing the whole time.

Inflation will continue.
The economy will slowly stagnate.
A whole host of countries will endure famine.
Globalization will end.
Capital will dry up.
Housing prices will drop.
Buy the dip.

A lot of items, including common produce, deli, and dairy items, have been either out-of-stock or there's limited stock on hand. It's been this way for months.

In my experience, for the last 54 years, life goes up and down, I expect the same until the end. I bet it won’t be anywhere near the big deal that GD thinks it will be. COVID didn’t end the world, high prices won’t end the world, a fight with the dipshit Russians won’t end it either.
Don’t worry, be happy.

Lots of people keep saying this, but it must be a regional thing. I've seen no shortages or slow downs at the store in town or any of the other ones, at least when it comes to food on the shelves.

I'm guessing any shortages in certain areas are still more of an issue with transportation than wholesale availability.

It's going to be a shit show.  The liberals have no fight anymore, so they are going to spin out on the next "big thing".  BLM is going out of business, and their current usfulness is gone.  So there are a bunch of unguided chaos mongers out there.  The hood is uneasy.

All that being said, I'm hoping my Cobalt R6 gets here before July so I can enjoy the new boat this summer.

not as bad as the dudes who KNEW there was going to be floyd riots part 2 after the rittenhouse verdict, worst case scenario is always the only thing that can happen, etc.  

not as good as the people who post lol, everything is great, lol inflation?, etc.

Oh and a beater sled next spring.  The markets are crazy but I wonder how long it will last before people pull the ripcord


Sxs and the loans on them should be interesting to see how they play out.
