It shows you that Brandon doesn't give a sh*t about the US, or the population. We need to turn the tide, and we need to be proactive and vote, and convince those who do not want to vote to vote. If this has happened in less than two years, imagine the next two? We need to change the course of our country, or we won't have a country left.

I think that is the plan--incremental destruction of the country. After all, he's just another Soros dumb puppet.

Pathetic, embarrassing, shameful... 81 million voted for this guy? Yeah, right..

Joe Biden accidentally reads the teleprompter telling him to repeat the line.

. 81 million voted for this guy?

Actually, to be accurate Joe received 81 million votes+-; That is not to say that 81 million living, qualified citizens voted for him.

The next 2-3 years may be tough on the lower class of the world. North Africa and South Asia especially.

Some of those people are used to living on almost no food. America is used to three large squares daily with snacks. The homeless are used to thin rations, but never out of cigarettes at $7 to $11 per pack.
What will entitled americans do when their three squares start getting missed?
I know, washington DC will have the military drop MRE's three times a day until they put a committee together to research where food comes from.
Of course this is 2022 and those kind of things can never happen, at least not to developed countries. There are all kinds of fast food establishments and convenience stores and we can get water any time we want it out of those fee dispensers in parking lots. (Don't think that will help with a toilet.)
Lets not forget that we have cell phone apps that get food delivered right to our door 24/7.
The save amazon prime guaranteed 2 day delivery commercial on TV where they flashed bare store shelves inferring they can get food and other items to us if we only pay them for their Prime. I suppose amazon has worldwide storehouses full of food just waiting to be delivered.
See, the world will never have to grow crops again.
Bring on the Star Trek replicators!

I’m not a prepper, but we have put canned at least a years supply of food from our farm. Our family survived the Great Depression just fine on the farm. The old ways are not totally lost.

With respect to a world-wide distribution collapse, we are fortunately in a far better position than almost anyone. We are well over self-sufficient in food production with enormous unused capacity; we sit on some of the largest petroleum and gas reserves on the planet with the means to refine internal requirements indefinitely, and we have a vast integrated transportation network capable of moving material around the country (in spite of the left's bemoaning our lack of bullet trains.) Our southern border represents the only land access that matters (no offense Canada), and it is sealable, if not easily so. So assuming a reordering of priorities in Washington, quite likely in the face of such a catastrophe by one government or the next, There is no reason the country, as a national entity couldn't survive such a global calamity. The economy would go through a ugly rebalancing which could be individually calamitous to many, but there is no reason the nation couldn't muck its way through.

@WAB's notion of several weeks or months supply of food is a very wise one for any number of reasons other than a global crisis. We certainly have one.

China, for instance, is in far worse straights. It is the world's largest importer of food. China has 20% of the planet's population, 9% of the world's arable land, and 6% of its freshwater. The Yangtse is drying up and a recent estimate declared 80% of the country's surface water was polluted. Western Europe has a collective food capacity shortfall of 10-15% with many individual countries far worse. And of course, most of Africa and much of the rest of Asia are ticking time bombs as populations continue to explode.

 

[WAB]

I totally agree, we can feed ourselves and produce sufficient energy for our needs indefinitely. The US and Canada would be in a better position to navigate a major restructuring than any other nation on earth.

Honestly, we just need the politicians to stay out of our way and let us get the job done.

When a nations currency is so worthless it can't purchase fuel or food.

Looks like Sri Lanka is in the middle of a revolution and the first domino to fall. We may be in for some bad years around the world.

Sri Lanka protesters, angered by economic meltdown, storm president’s house

Military personnel and police at both locations were unable to hold back the crowd, as they chanted slogans asking President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to step down.

In case you missed his speech the other night berating more than half the country and bumbling through the teleprompted speech....

Too late, most sensible people have already done that.

Ole Joe has put new meaning to words such as pathetic. Seeing him read the cues on the teleprompter is a first- end of quote, read this again. I just shake my head and be glad that I made it through one more day on the way to the next election.

It might be safe to say that Trump holds a grudge.

As I recall wasn't Murkowski one of the Republican senators that voted for impeachment conviction? If so, even I would hold a grudge against her.
