    For 12+ years now, we have been told that we are about to have hyperinflation that leads to collapse. We did have a bit of the absolute opposite (deflation), but we are still surviving well.

    Didn't you claim the same thing with Obama, and before him Clinton. If you are wrong three times in a row...

    Obama did very many bad things. Clinton gave our missile tech to the Chinese..
    Obama gave them a drone to reverse engineer. Or was that the Muslims?
    As far as decent presidents in recent history go..it goes Truman, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Trump.

    Trump fixed Carter's fuel supply fuckup that Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama never fixed. Here comes Biden fucking that up.
    Bad bad bad.

    Do you realize how little food costs of my overall budget? We would need an economic collapse of more than 99% to hit food. And it would have to hit everywhere in the world, because I have business contacts almost everywhere.

    All the money in the world isn't going to buy you food when there's none available, you fucking myopic smarmy douchebag!

    You must have your head up your ass.

    The economy and supply chains are going to collapse.

    So you think that it will be such a complete collapse there will be no food left anywhere in the world? You know like a 99+% collapse in the economy? While not completely impossible, it sounds very unlikely. If that does happen, we are both dead.

    Have Russians ever sent America food? You stupid fuck.
    As for us both being dead? You will be, I'll carry on.

    If there is no food, anywhere, we both die. Everyone dies. If there is food somewhere, I have a better shot at it than you.

    What makes you think so, child? I'm curious as to what makes you tick.

    What makes you think you have a better chance than I do?

    I know for a fact I am capable of providing food for me and others daily.

    If there's no food to buy, you're in a world of shit.

    You ever talk to an old timer hunter? Way back when, there were no deer east of the Rockies. The movie Bambi showed deer in the Rockies, because Easterners would never have seen deer. Back during the Great Depression, there was no much hunting in the east, because it had all been hunted out.

    Even before that, Native Americans had trained for thousands of years to live in the Americas, but they died out when Europeans started hunting all the food.

    Now imagine if 330 million people all walk into the woods trying to get food. There would be literally nothing left. There is a reason that we use farming rather than hunting and gathering, because it generates more food.

    The fact is outside of wars trapping people somewhere, all the modern starvation happens in the countryside. If you are dependent on the food you yourself create, then if that fails you have nothing. Meanwhile, as long as there is some food somewhere, I can buy it. I produce such an extreme economic surplus, I would need to lose 99.9% of my value to starve to death. That would be nearly impossible.

    They certainly will if the Democrats ban internal and external combustion engines, which is what they are trying to do.

    At the best it will be 50% of exactly that. Shutting down coal-fired power plants, too. Doh! I don't need to give them any ideas.
    They have plenty of ideas, all of which will make all of America poorer.
