Well, we have been hearing about this since . . . 2012?

Has been for years. Nothing new.

I’m starting to see more “little” signs of this.
Things like nothing left on the shelves at the food bank when we drop off donations. Things like 3-4 people being roommates instead of 2 people because they just can’t afford the rent. More people counting pennies and putting things back when they’re in line at the grocery store.
It’s sad and with all the issues with the farms, it’s going to be far worse this time next year.

Today went shopping in big town two grocery stores where 1/6 th empty. Crappy produce all wilted and bruised… plus pricey glad I was only there to buy cleaners and plastic bags and some dry and canned goods.
The locals are scared two mills are shutting down and forestry is on hold due to government.
Went to container shipping yard to buy a few more… usually 100 there. .. 20 beat to crap ones…..
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Local owner of a fuel depot told me laid off 4 out if 24 employees will lay of 6 more as logging and mills slow down… he is medium sized business in his feild.</p>
The lady at home Depot was anxious as her son and husband lost jobs last week.

Have also noticed the stores are not carrying as much as they used to. Shelves are no where near full like they used to be. I work in the food ministry through our church that works through the food bank. Normally we can get a lot of food from there for our clients that depend on that food but now we are having to depend on our church members to bring in food. I do go to Lidel’s and Aldi’s to pick up cases of veggies and things I can get cheap to keep the ministry going. It really is getting harder for people to put food on the table. I have also noticed the prices of a lot of foods have gone up. I am sure it is because of the farms in the middle of country as well as maybe the tarriffs on some foods are costing us as well.
Yes it is late and I am getting tired, so guess I should be heading to bed.
