I want to say this again while I still have this blog and larger audience:
There's a historically significant very serious food and energy crisis coming. It's already starting to slowly roll out right now as food and gas inflates in price.
The illegal attack on Iran not only caused worldwide shipping problems but it caused many farmers all over the world to miss planting season. We aren't talking JUST inflation: there's going to be scarcity genuinely worse than Covid. Speaking of which there's currently a rapidly spreading ebola outbreak that's already historically/statistically significant!
There's also the possibility this year's El Niรฑo may become a Super El Niรฑo which will make it a storm so catastrophic we're talking if Hurricane Katrina tore through several countries and caused massive flooding and droughts and famines. Did you know citizens in the southern US basically NEVER got FEMA aid after Hurricane Helene? Our government straight up doesnt give a fuck about helping us anymore; they're hallowing out our country for resources and are trying to make us a massive prison-labor economy
So this is from me to not just my fellow Americans but to everyone reading this right now:
start stocking up on nonperishable foods. Canned meats, tuna pouches, rice, dried beans, water, water purification tablets.
Start exercising amd strength training not just for your health but also for matters of possible self defense. Historically in times of crisis, people who are hungry and desperate and starving often resort to crime. You may someday have to defend yourself from being robbed or defend people trying to steal food from your home. Consider purchasing a metal baseball bat
In a time period where the government is trying to say life begins at fertilization and they want to make it legal to hunt people down and kill them for wanting to have an abortion, we should also be having the discussion of what I've been calling Radical Celibacy. In a world where it's becoming dangerous to be pregnant even if you WANT kids, in a world where mothers who already have children are being left to die because their malformed fetus still has a heartbeat, having sex at all is becoming a life threatening risk, AND the global elites are literally constantly throwing us into the corporate meat grinders and by no exaggeration are hunting children all over the globe. We're being bred like cattle and now we're just straight up by no exaggeration watching women's rights go completely backwards
Don't just prepare to survive, prepare to recover and grow stronger. Start keeping physical notes and journals of any skills you might need or have learned, things you can reread or copy down again if you potentially don't have your phone or electricity. I've been meaning to keep journals for things just like tailoring, growing food/rotating crops/keeping soil healthy, how to purify water, how to make repairs. Record your knowledge to help yourself and others
I wish I was fearmongering but I'm not. We ARE heading for historically significant hardship. I'm worried how I'm going to survive and I'm worried for others too. Literally, there's certain medical care I'm finally seeking and will just bite the bullet on, because certain financial aid programs i can use now literally may not exist or have the funding to function in the future. Also it's like... might as well get things looked at before it becomes debilitating during a crisis. Hospitals are becoming so short staffed they're fundamentally changing how they operate like having some roles and consulting being performed via webcam. America is basically collapsing.
These are all reasons I'm trying to stay posting and thinking of story ideas: art and creating and having our own fun may be one of the only luxuries and things we will be able to afford enjoying. I.... I also just deadass believe civil war will break out eventually but I genuinely don't know where things are going, and I just... idk. My writing hobby and my friends are keeping me from losing it
Just... stay safe out here, everyone. Best of luck to all of us
