FOOD PRICES *TRIPLE*, RATIONING, in Monrovia, LIBERIA due to Ebola State of Emergency
[link to www.liberianobserver.com]

A week’s tour of the three major commercial districts in Monrovia revealed that prices of food and other commodities have tripled.

Prices of food commodities in the three highly populated markets are preventing low income earners from buying and this is making it difficult to afford decent meals for their families.

“This has led to genuine socio-economic belt-tightening and unbearable hardships in Ebola- stressed Liberia,” a political and economic commentator told the Daily Observer.

RATIONING:

“I have seen many households going to bed without food owing to the unbearable escalation of food prices at the Red-light Market,” Mrs. Washington lamented.

“Even the measurement sizes of greens of all varieties have been reduced to the extent that LD$500 cannot prepare decent meal for a family of five in Monrovia,” Mrs. Washington asserted.

Was just reading that the price of coke/coal has also tripled because of all the hot salt baths people are taking, not that it's having any curative or preventative effect.

Honey is really going up, where I'm at. I've been prepping it for 3 years, along with manuka honey. If you want to prep it, now is the time. It's going to get higher and higher. When I started, I could pick up a small thing of honey for $2.25. A week ago, it was up at $4.65 for the same size.

I would pay triple for non-Ebola contaminated food.

Maybe even quadruple!

How sad.

They want those people dead. They will starve them out and give them the plague.

Read Revelation. We are there, and this is just the "beginning" of our sorrows. Anyone at all take note that MOST of this turmoil has found itself in our radar AFTER the FIRST blood moon?

Is there a reliable place to send food aid that actually gets to people in Liberia?

Is there a powdered food high in vitamin c that is not a laxative we could send in bulk?

Would they even eat what we would send or do they reject it as inedible? I don't fucking know.

If there's a place in the world (other than the river-fucking-ganges) where this awful strain of ebola is likely to mutate into something even worse its Liberia!

There will always be food. But most will not be able to afford it.

This has been told by wise men for many, many decades.

It looks like they are right. Stock up and hide it.

Nah...

See, crazy thing is, you already pay alot for your food in the US.

Take the humble Oat.

In the rest of the world, people who eat the oat.
Not in the US.

We take the oat and turn it into Something akin to candy. Then we break up the candy and turn it into cereal. THEN we take the Cereal and turn it into a "breakfast bar".

Then we have marketing campaigns and huge businesses to compete over who gets to sell you the Breakfast bar.

The Oat? The oat is cheap. Cheap as hell. It's maybe 10 cents of that box of breakfast bars. So when the base price for food triples in the US, it goes up 20 cents.

Now, you triple the price of oat in other countries, they fuckin' starve. Because for them 20 cents is a day's wages.

It's the only upside of our huge supply of overprocessed foods, we are already overpaying SO much for what is basically quadrupal processed oat that there is a whole lot of cushion in the advent the base supply of food is threatened.
If you see something, say nothing, and drink to forget.
