This is a reminder to people. A number of experts are very blunt that we are headed for a good deal of trouble in July because US oil reserves will be tapped out.
Asia is already suffering greatly from the loss of oil. Europe isn’t in good shape either. China is better situated because of the size of their reserves and they can ride for I think another year.
If you haven’t yet stocked up on a pantry do so to the best of your ability. consider pooling resources with people you know to stock up.

Yeah, he probably seen me advocate 5 or 10 kg bags of rice and beans. You can buy many months worth of food for around $40 US. And you can survive a long time on that combo.
