What's for dinner?......

What ever is left that you've saved up . That is probably the extent of it in the future. Prices will get exciting that's for sure. You would think that with millions still unemployed they'd be giving food away to maintain their market share but with government propping up prices on the farm we keep food prices high or find something else to do with our time.

Our sales down 8% this month here at the Ponderay Wally World . I guess Chinese trinkets aint that important anymore. Groceries are under pressure as a new modern store opened up last week to squabble over  a few thousand customers.

Remains to be seen how we make it through the economy retrenching. Good thing Oba mama's second half stimulus money kicks in. He's going to need all the help he can get saving any Dem's this year and the economy better be positive next year or he's unemployed.

Not that it matters to us broke dicks.


Activist Post: USDA Reports Food Shortages: Wall Street 'Caught Off Guard' by Severity
Several recent headlines indicate that food prices will continue their swift climb upward. These troubling new reports show that agriculture production and stored grains are critically low and experts are now predicting food shortages on a grand scale.

Look at a few mainstream headlines: Drought threatens global rice supply in the India Times; VA farmers say heat taking toll on crops, Associated Press; Severe food shortage follows lack of rainfall in Syria; and, finally, Corn prices bolt as USDA downsizes crop estimates, which states that, "Commodity professionals were caught off guard Wednesday by a U.S. Department of Agriculture report showing 1 million fewer acres of corn planted this year than earlier projected, and almost 300 million fewer bushels of corn in storage." And these articles don't begin to address crops being damaged by the toxic rain from the Gulf oil disaster.
