I can see the Great Depression happening again. I was at the grocery store some days ago and there were shelves that had zero food.

I buy food and they are limiting 1 item per person for many items.

Some of us saw this coming, and a bit more coming yet, about 2 years ago when they started printing so much money during Covid.
But, even with 2 years to think about it, I haven’t come up with a way to survive it yet, that I know of. Maybe we could ask @naturallycured if he comes back. Maybe someone powerful will swoop in to our rescue. I don’t know.
It is a very important question, I think. I don’t think we’ve seen an inflation survival squeeze like this since the 70’s, when gas went from a quarter to a dollar and stayed there. I’ve been attempting to learn a little about the history of the 70’s for a while.

Yes, it frightens me. I don’t trust our governments. I don’t have any savings or other ways to be safe in emergency.
Our oil price is 2,50 a liter. Our gas price is 1,30 a liter. All my groceries rose in price, for some items it went 25% up. There is a takeaway restaurant I went to and their prices to went 25% or so up.
My family doesn’t see it and is very optimistic about the future. I am not. I wish I had basic survival skills really, instead of all the useless book skills.

People will be fighting over resources very soon, shortages can only be solved with money for so long

Start growing gardens for 1 thing. Maybe sell your car and use public transportation. Idk. I forgot to buy trash bags the other day so I’m saving empty feed bags (my dad has farm animals). Eat less.

People have been claiming ‘the end of times’ as long as I can remember.
I’m not impressed by the logic.

Holy crap! How do they expect people to survive?
I hope you are right.
I did talk with my pastor about it. He said the same: during the big plague or flu epidemics, the world war I and II, the Great Depression, people would have tought the same.

I think Davos refer to it as ‘the great reset’

I changed it to some. I didnt check all the prices. But I buy mainly whole foods and saw things raise like this: eggs for example went from 3,20 to 4,20 a box. Mozarella from 40 cents to 70 cents. The junkfood I ordered went from 7-ish a meal to 9 or 10 euros a meal.
I have no idea. I dont think they have an idea either. Several people I know are dependent now on charity food.

I agree with @Jonathan2 . I don’t think it’s the end of the world. It will hopefully pass eventually. This is not to say that we aren’t headed for hard times for awhile. I just don’t see it as a global catastrophe quite yet. The future is unknown.
If you live long enough you see how many events spur panic and claims of the end. I often refer back to 9/11/2001 when many people thought the end was coming with continued attacks, even nuclear. It never materialized. It’s just an unknown.
It’s not impossible that it could become a global catastrophe, but I think its unlikely.

Every 3 to 6 months someone claims the end of times: a virus, a war, nukes, a solar burst,…
Plenty of stuff for Hollywood movies. I’ve heard it too often and don’t listen to the fear mongers anymore.

Maybe not EoTW - but world chaos.

Hey guys the EoTW theory is based on religion. Please be careful. I don’t want my thread locked.

Think 15 million people dying from the virus counts for a major world event though.
