Alright GA community, I've heard it said in regards to Covid, jab mandates and general government overreach world wide, that things will get worse before they get better. To me, this comes across as a vague platitude that offers very little in the way of real help. It's already looking pretty grim in many parts of the world. Australia and New Zealand look to be experiencing the hardest treatment from their governments, but in other places many people are being forced by their jobs to get the jab or lose their job.
All that said, I want to challenge this community and ask: How specifically will things get worse? Who do you think will be most affected by things? How would one prepare? Do you have an opinion of what will be the turning point for things to get better? Open discussion, please share your thoughts and opinions. I don't want this to be a doomer thread. Just share what you think people could realistically expect to experience over the next few months or years. I'm genuinely interested to hear what you have to say. How bad will things get before they start getting better?
EDIT: Let's keep this based on Q posts as much as possible. I'm actually fairly new to Q and have watched a lot of the videos provided by the GA mods, but still researching a lot and learning from you all. I've been with the MAGA movement since 2016 back when The_Donald was on Reddit. I started coming over here to GA back in January after the 'Inauguration'. You all provided a lot of hope when it all seemed lost.
Magic 8 ball says: water, canned goods, and ammo. Heavy dose of prayer.
Nobody knows. It will probably get worse before it gets better though. Not nearly enough are seeing the foulness of the vax and government tyranny.
More -
Water (and a way to purify same)
Canned goods (absolutely, nothing better for short term & easy)
Suggest: chili & baked beans (easy meals), red & green beans, carrots, beets, corn & tomatoes. Canned brown bread great with beans (heat in oven).
Add: couscous (fast cooking), pasta & rice (need more cooking time), can dump beans & chili over them for full meal.
Add: potatoes, garlic & onions, store in cool place & will keep for months.
Add: nuts, almonds & peanuts keep a long time.
Spices: salt, black & cayenne pepper, oregano or Italian seasoning, etc.
Oils: olive & vegetable oil for cooking, make some butter into ghee for long term storage.
Critical: propane camp stove and plenty of fuel. Will get you through an extended blackout with hot meals & hot water for coffee.
Coffee: if you drink it stock up on it. None is grown in the US. Look up "cowboy coffee" or get a percolator, Moka pot, etc. for ways to brew without filters then practice making it that way.
Canned brown bread? Never heard of it. Sounds like a great idea for emergency stocks, where can I get it? I'm in NorthEast
Doubtful if you have to ask, ;-).
It's in the same section as the B&M baked beans, pic from...newengland.com...

Well I'm a transplant to a big city. In truth I'm a country girl from the south!
