  I don’t want to go through all this shit. Technically I have or am capable of learning basic prepping skills if it comes to it but realistically I’m not physically resilient and wouldn’t survive harsh times.

  I’m very tired and if things go sideways I’m kind of hoping something just kills me.

    Don’t say that. I was only half joking. My daughter is back tomorrow and all hell breaks loose here. I’m sorry if I upset you.

      It’s all good, I’m sorry I said that. I shouldn’t have.

      I’m a little off kilter right now and also remembering covid times.

      Still the repercussions will affect Australia.

      I’m not able to be flexible around food and fluids and can’t regulate my own body temperature well. And my immune system sucks.

      So if priced out or cut off from energy for heating or cooling, all the soap got bought, can’t get the few things I can eat, shortage of antibiotics or iv fluids… I’m gonna have a bad time.

      I know his handlers will just fill the eventual vacuum but I hope the orange one’s wipeout is legendary.

        I think we are ok here. The current petrol price hike might be painful for some people, but big picture is that it’s tolerable in our economy. We are lucky to be one of the richest countries in the world and self sufficient in food supply. We can afford higher prices for essential imports compared to the rest of the world. No one is turning the lights out. Most of the current petrol shortages are in smaller towns where people panic bought by filling up jerry cans and farm bulk containers, thereby stripping the servo tanks unexpectedly. The next truck is still coming in schedule.

      Saved from yourselves. For now. Big Brother is Cain and you are Abel though fyi.
