During the 1930's depression my great grandfather would stand in food lines with his Mom.

If you look at the broke bastards here, drugs and laziness are big factors.

Housing was cheap, less building restrictions, you even mention keeping chickens which is illegal in most places today.

They had some things worse but it was better in many other ways back then America really was the land of opportunity.

Today its overpriced housing, endless taxes and woke schools .

Same here. I save money every month.

Bull.

Low paying jobs coupled with inflation are to blame.

You can't keep a decent job or pay the bills? That's your prob.

Mugabe gave you the farms, bro, but you were supposed to actually grow your own food

thats the worst americans know. the great depression..

Let me tell you about war

My father was 5 when the germans took his brother to be sent to germany to work there. My father was the only one left to take care of his mother who was permanently bedridden. His dad already died on the front.

So he was left at 5yo to take care of his mother keeping her alive by begging and "cooking" grass and treebark.

For months.

He never got over that.

Brother came back after the war but was so abused in germany he was an empty shell after that.

No foodstamps, no help, nothing. Just suffering.

Sounds like you have a slight partisan bias in your analysis. I'm a secular independent and I would describe food inflation as "significant."

I'm one of those that looks at "price per ounce" and "deals" like an obsessive maniac. The math is objective and what's worse is it doesn't appear they have an answer as they're already talking about 4% inflation being the new normal. Previously "normal" inflation 2% which is a 100% increase therefore we can expect, at best, annual food inflation at twice the rate pre-Covid.

People hanging by a thread, which is many, are not going to make it when that happens. Math.

So for the millions of people whose only option is minimum wage they dont deserve housing?

In order for society to function there needs to be millions of low skill low pay workers.

During the 1970's depression my father was arrested for armed robbery.

Get fucked dumbass... it's the devaluing of our currency combined with competition in the labor market by adding women and now millions upon millions of mexicans and third worlders to the work force.

They use to mark people's fences to let others know if they got a handout at that house or not . My father worked for two dollars a day when he could even find work during that time .
He rode the rails all over going from one state to another to work . The farm simply did not make enough to sustain him at the time .

I was raised by people that lived it and the lessons I learned about waste saving and honest hard and human nature work have been a godsend .

Damn, you're deluded. That's not even close to how it works for a first world society, you stupid fuck nut.

Lol bro…my great grandma’s outhouse had a basket of dried corn cobs and a bucket for water.

She was really frugal…cooked big family dinners on a coal stove, made her tea bags last for days. Had them hanging in her kitchen. Her bro died in the Civil War….hard to believe the generational spread I’ve lived through

But the foreigners only do jobs Americans dont want.

Is the lie we are told.

In reality immigrants are taking all the good jobs, from trucking to construction and tech jobs.

How do you keep your skills low enough?

Your great grandfatherDuring the 1930's depression

That is how it works.

You go to the grocery store lately?

Those are all low skill workers that dont make enough to afford housing.

36 here. going to get my fishing license pretty quick myself im slacking here. plan to be eating brook trout on the reg here soon myself.

Wrong, you gay homotron. The exact opposite.

What's with all the gayness here? Is that normal?

The majority of walmart workers cant afford housing.

So what would happen if they all quit and got better jobs?

It's wild to hear them make that argument and then point the finger and call US the racists lol.

All with a straight face hahaha.

I'd fish with ya any day.

The Food Pyramid is the same as Vax Propaganda.

Please reject the food pyramid.

Weston A Price based books, explain what Grandma knew. They tel you what to do with lard and flour and the rest.

If you want to learn like a little kid, see Homegrown Education for coloring books and guides to the real food pyramid.

I mean, they have a point.

Many people became successful and wealthy during that time why didn't your grandfather?

Its like how you telling people today to just get a better job and make more money.

It takes being conscious and conscientious.
Two attributes that today's under 40's have never been exposed to, let alone exhibit.

We are 60 days away, max, from an ELE due to sheer inability to do ANYTING remotely self-supporting, like catching drinking water from the rain, growing a potato, or prepping a game carcass, let alone getting off prescription meds or surviving without electricity.

And there is no motivation to repair this intellectual deficit, at all, at any level.

Livestock is hard. Lots of work, and lots of potential failure points (weather, demand economics, animal health, theft, and now methane politics).

Indeed.

I just know that mine raised chickens for eggs and meat to a great success.

Something to think about.
