Canada is gripped by a surge in homelessness that has seen tens of thousands of people priced out of rental and real estate markets and left to live in the streets of the wealthy nation.
That was just a short-lived aberration due to the conflict in Ukraine, temporary fertilizer supply issues, and a weather event causing large crop loss. The latter two are dealt with and the former isn’t the worry we thought it was. Farmers are already well on the other side of high prices, and the rest of the supply chain is quickly catching up.
What is concerning is how the grocers have petitioned the government to implement a price freeze. They claim it is stop prices from going higher, but we all know it is to ensure the prices don’t go lower amid that crashing food supply chain.
Don’t worry things won’t change much yet … people can still eat
Once people become so poor they can’t eat … that’s when big problems will start to occur
People can survive and put up without shelter … but if history has taught us anything, people will revolt if they can’t eat any more
As Lenin put it, every society is three meals away from chaos.
I keep hearing about this Lenin guy lately…
I’m more of George Harrison guy, but really they’re all good.
Bravo!

Definitely worth a read.
Until grocery prices get too hi….uhhhhh almost there too!

I hear the rich taste great
Trouble is that a revolt is likely to cause stress, which is not good for the meat. You need to act while they are still clam and happy.
So: roast or boil them while they’re still in their shell. Got it!
