Hope y'all prepared accordingly a few months ago...

I have been preparing for years. Just saying.
I'm in the thinking outside of the box mode at this point.
What's that odd ball thing that I'm missing type of thing.

I'm repeating myself, but here it is once again.
It's never a bad time to top off your preps.
Don't forget pet supplies if applicable.

Just like during the Obama era when fuel prices went way up to record levels.
When you really realize the WTF of the situation. Is when you lift up a gas can/jerry can
that you just filled up at the pump and you can actually feel in weight what you got for your money... Grrrrrrrr

Someone should make sure all the BLM and Antifa type fools know the fuel they can no longer afford can be obtained without a credit card transaction, just as nature intended, from the earth directly below their feet. The gas stations are practically begging them to take it.

This will be one of the first things to disappear - been stocking up whenever possible.

If you watch this stuff on Walmart online, more and more is "out of stock", some for quite a while, like Pup-Peroni Lean. Had to get it at Amazon. Our Westie loves that shit as a treat...but his favorite is salmon jerky sticks from Carolina Prime.

Some prices are already ludicrous, especially at 2ndary and tertiary sellers on Walmart and Amazon.

The price gouging is rampant - the gas I pumped at $4.299/gal last Thursday, was NOT acquired at the present crude oil prices.

To me the only attractive thing about EVs would be putting the parasitic oil companies out of business - they've always pulled this bullshit.

How they will put this in place ... Limit the amount of KW of electric per household... Perhaps allowing one enough to drive a car 10,000 per year and heat/cool a 900 sq ft home ... After that no more electric for you... Ideally they want us all in a mega city .. total public transportation no cars at all... The collective making every decision for you. ... You will own nothing and like it... China was a lot like this ... Communal kitchens .. 99 year leases on land ... The government to this day owns all the land and every home on leased land.. A new /old world order .. social credit scores running your life ...

I fear you are absolutely correct - at least I'll never live long enough to see that shit.

If absolute white-hot hatred could power the world, I'd still have a lot left over.

The present world disgusts me - the weakness, depravity, mendacity and selfishness is beyond belief.

If we had the raw materials to make EV's they might work if:

Range 500 miles
Accommodate 2 adult, 2child passengers, pet + luggage/groceries
Charged by braking
Charged by integral solar panels
Charged by small integral wind turbine
Charged by small integral hydrocarbon generator
Charged by household current.
Safe enough to not burn down your home while in the garage.

I believe I read that if an EV was made for every home in perhaps Wisconsin it would take all the copper used in this country .... NOT enough copper to pull this off in one country let alone world wide.

Let alone all the other minerals needed, like lithium, etc.

And, Russia and China are either the primary source of these minerals, or have stockpiled them.

I'm gonna repeat myself - no way EVER are EVs going to be a viable solution.

Spend time on things that are everywhere - like hydrogen energy cells. Or a process for producing hydrogen from water.

Or controllable fusion.

Oh, but then there'd be a water shortage....

Yep, it's gotta be horses, mules and donkeys.

The govt has owned all the land in the good ol USA too. If you don't believe me just stop paying your property and/or school taxes.

That's not enough proof for you? Ok, then build a fence around your property without asking permission via a building permit. Try it without the building permit while putting in a swimming pool, or building an extension on your house. Maybe you want a shed or increasing the size of your deck? No permission from the landlord if you don't have that permit.

You live in a water district but don't want to pay for municipal water. You say hey, I'll drill a well on my property and get water from the aquifer under 'my' land. Laughable. Because that's what they'll do when you ask them for permission.

Yeah, we're all landowners. They've got everyone believing that, hook, line and sinker.

Our govt is closer to the Chicoms than most would admit. And we're getting more like them all the time. That's the whole NWO.

Because once the food disappears, or no one can afford it, the riots will start, and the country will be unstable.

I still don't understand how these politicians think they will survive that.

No point rioting at the local grocery that can't get supplies.
No point rioting at the gas station that has empty tanks.

But rioting at the politician's house, the person who CAUSED all of this, might actually accomplish something.

Putin is deliberately double dawg daring NATO to step in. Remember their Nuke Doctrine.
If they don't have the balls for it?
Super inflation around the world. Unrest! Protests! Riots! A great Reset! Paving the way for China!
This is WWIII but most people don't know it yet.

Russia warns of $300 oil, threatens to cut off European gas if West bans energy imports

The U.S. has been considering whether to impose a ban on Russia's oil and gas exports as a way of punishing Moscow.

I started looking at this regularly last week. It goes up a penny every several hours. Rochester Gas Prices - Find Cheap Gas Prices in New York Raising steadily but up half a dollar since putler's adventure.

I've (as well as a select few around here) been stating we are heading for not only WWW III, but mostly a Civil War for a while.

The reliance on "technology" as the latest generation know it might actually go away. I hope it does.

When I was growing up, I had none of this stuff that we have today (cell phones, GPS, highly sophisticated self-parking cars, A/C, etc). When the power went out it was no big deal. No matter what time of the year it was, it didn't matter if we had the luxury of electricity.

If I lost my job today, I have no issues turning off the power, dropping the Internet, phone service, etc and not relying on fossil fuels to heat my house. Yes, would it be annoying? Yep. Electricity, Internet, and telephone service have always been luxuries. But growing up, I learned to deal with not having that crap.

Most Americans today have lived through two wars. Iraq and Afghanistan. If they watched CNN or other mainstream news, they may not have even known there was a war going on. They never had to make sacrifices, ( unless you were looking for ammo. )
This time. they are in for a major shock.
They will be running for their "safe spaces" screaming.
Totally incapacitated and shuddering with freight.
When they can't afford a takeout pizza or their favorite virtue signal coffee cup at Starbucks, it will turn them into zombies.
Get Ready!

I'm kind of freaking out. We somehow locked in $1.899/gallon for propane through August. Paying ~$300/month in the cold months for propane. We will not be able to afford to heat the house next year; going to have to get a wood stove I guess.

Figure out how to resell some of your propane under the table ?

Could make a tidy profit refilling 20lb tanks at that cost.

Or would be be difficult to get extra deliveries ?

I may have to actually consider an EV then.

If you don't have a grid independent way to charge it that may not help.

Expect the cost of electricity to go way up as well.
