Pay attention to the last segment. If power company employees are buying generators, you will have power outages coming. Even if you have a generator, will you be able to buy gas or propane? No power = no Internet.
This is collapsing quickly.

At this point, it’s probably unnecessary to read each and every shortage. This is what we have at $5.00 per gallon for gas. Diesel higher. By the end of summer it will be much worse. Not a recession. A depression. On the way to total collapse. TPTB said it out loud for all to hear. Your currency will be worthless. Buying will come to a stop. There will be one massive period of looting. Until the stores are empty. Then they come for your stuff. The mortality rate will explode. I predict mass graves. Sooner, rather than later. Have a nice day.
Again thanks for all the good info, I know you could be spending your time getting better prepared, but you are saving lives!
I am beefing up my solar PV system adding 600W. Even if we don’t have black outs, the prices are going up for electricity. I Just picked up a couple of 100W panels for two hundred dollars, with three day shipping, the prices have not gone up yet.
Having lights, refrigeration and communication during a power loss makes it all a lot more comfortable! Right now there are retirees who can’t afford to buy electricity, I may soon be one of them, but I still will have some power and be comfortable.
A final point, as I heat with wood, chain saws are essential, I charge my battery powered one with solar power!
Propane shelf life is 30+ years if stored properly.
