AnonymousGreat article about people are stepping up to help other people. Now, what % of those who are new to food handouts will learn from this and start keeping their own food pantries better stocked? Better still, decide to become preppers?
It seems to me that MSM and it’s tv shows portraying preppers as nut jobs has only made this situation worse. No doubt that was their plan.

Usually people do not make real changes unless something traumatic happens to them.
In this most likely case, food security from the loss of a job.
I would like to think more than just a few have a new out look on what it means to be prepared for the unthinkable.
Start keeping a well stocked pantry. Garden. Learn more about home cooking, or cooking from scratch. Making that one chicken last two or three meals.As for MSM, yeah, the idea of being prepared for some kind of natural disaster or economic crisis? Oh, those people are crazy! (sarc)
But MSM has been out of touch with viewers/readers for some time now.

Oh, notice in some of the articles that you will see about lines miles long for food banks.
Notice the cars.
They are mostly late model cars and trucks. Nice ones too. Not clunkers. -
I laughed at the 1 chicken for two meals…… we killed a dorking rooster he was 15 lb dressed out…. he did not last 1/2 the meal.as we have enough people here now that it’s restaraunt fòod service with 4 kitchen staff and the wash up. Is randomized. He made a damn fine curry vindaloo.
And there will.be chicken stock from his bones.
I hate to say it but this is only start… waiting till shooting and robbing of food banks happens already some robberies of older people in parking lots outside of grocery stores

Anonymous“They are mostly late model cars and trucks. Nice ones too. Not clunkers.”
Wonder how many of those people have tried to sell their car to generate some food money. Most of them are probably under water even if they tried to sell. Most buyers these days will only buy a bargain.

Read an article about a woman who tried to return her car (leased, the leased was due), but the dealership said they couldnt. They did have room as people stopped buying and others like her were returning their leases and not taking another vehicle out.
This is the snowball effect that some have been warning about. First it was the food and bev, restaurant industry. From there, that rolls into other industries, like auto. -
Anonymous“snowball effect” I tend to think of this as a pinball game. Every hit and the ball is sent into an unknown direction to smash into something else. Or maybe a nuclear chain reaction. Every action has consequences, many/most are bad.
