Iām not able to be flexible around food and fluids and canāt 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, canāt get the few things I can eat, shortage of antibiotics or iv fluidsā¦ Iām gonna have a bad time.
I know his handlers will just fill the eventual vacuum but I hope the orange oneās 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 itās 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.
