That is because in the oil world -it\u2019s all one barrel. \u2013 <em>article<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well, the answer is right at the link below, people: <em>the Biden Administration decided to use funds that were instead intended for the citizens of the USofA &#8212; that&#8217;s use &#8211; to provide aid to other countries instead.<\/em> He said \u2013 if you will recall \u2013 that taking petroleum from the US strategic reserves was to benefit US, the People of the United States.\u00a0 <em>But he lied his ass off.

I say that as the US has become an exporter of the energy that is the larger factor for all of the current inflation.\u00a0 <em>Yet, our President sold oil from the strategic oil reserves to another country when he clearly stated the release of it was to help the consumer overcome the burden of high energy costs.<\/em> So, with this a realization, I believe many foresee that the inflationary aspects are here to stay.\u00a0 Actually, it is anticipated to be worse as there is no telling what the next action may be.\u00a0 Oh, I just found out from this headline: \u00a0<em>DJ White House Plans Food Aid for Countries Affected by Ukraine Invasion &#8212; Market Talk Wed Apr 27 14:15:09 2022 EDT 14:15 ET <\/em>&#8211; article<\/p>\n<p>I have seldom been so disgusted with a lying sack of brainless s- -t as I am right now.<\/p>\n<p>I know I\u2019ve been pounding the drum on things like stocking supplies of food and household necessities, but when this is the reality we are facing from that Braindead Lack Of Administration in the WH right now \u2013 and that dimwitted codger will sign anything put in front of him without reading it \u2013 then maybe a reality check like this is something we really needed. Inflationary prices are going to be here for a while so act accordingly.Try to remember the things your folks (or grandparents) said about how they made do during the Depression.<\/p>\n<p>Read the Barchart article. It will make you cringe.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, if you want to know why food prices may possibly go higher, there is an outbreak of avian flu in several states (Kentucky, Indiana, and Iowa. Over 5.2 million chickens and turkeys on one Iowa farm alone had to be destroyed because of this contagion.<\/p>\n<p>Map at this link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usgs.gov\/centers\/nwhc\/science\/distribution-highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza-north-america-20212022\">https:\/\/www.usgs.gov\/centers\/nwhc\/science\/distribution-highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza-north-america-20212022<\/a>\u00a0 and from the color spread on that map, it appears that wild birds are carrying the disease with them and shedding the virus near poultry farms. The farmers can&#8217;t just kill the chickens and turkeys. They have to be destroyed, meaning pile up the carcasses and burn them.<\/p>\n<p>I know I harp a lot on stocking up, but I grew up in a post-Depression and post-WWII\/Korea world when something as simple as a Fudgesicle was $0.05 and milk was still delivered to your front door.<\/p>\n<p>We aren&#8217;t doomed, but the current administration is clearly incapable of taking care of its own people.\u00a0 Right now, I think it&#8217;s plausible to say that we are on our own. We&#8217;ll just have to pull up our britches.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe something good will come out of this. After all, it only takes one idiot to completely foul the lines, right?<\/p>\n<p>I found what looks like a good video about making a good, solid, stuffed meatloaf.
