@societyoutcasts @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @nugger @jeffcliff Yeah I've seen that too....well I've seen both. I don't care about being cheaper than the grocery store because I just want to get the stupid eggs out of our house*. A lot of people though just scale it against the market regardless of what their input costs are. The other anecdote I have is that the higher prices charged by the local butcher (for better product, natch) stayed largely the same while the prices for the inferior stuff from the grocery store rose to be about the same price (apart from the GloboPedo beef steaks from Mexico that taste like sadness).

*(Our plan all along was to have our own farm fresh eggs and to just charge people who buy eggs the feed costs because the other (large) expenses (coops, chickens, other infrastructure, etc.) is stuff we'd buy for ourselves anyway. I'd imagine most other small-scale farmers actually want to make money on them, which really isn't feasible. If I was able to charge $5/dozen then *maybe*. Somewhat related, the Vital Farms eggs sold at Whole Foods are the closest you can get to "farm fresh" from the grocery store (all the other ones are pretenders, work paid for me to sample them) and it looks like they're about $7/dozen around me).

In a future with much more expensive oil, which do you think will be more likely:

1. All food will be shipped in from far away and most people will starve to death.

2. Food will be grown locally and specialty/regional foods will be grown in highly-insulated greenhouses.

I think #2 is far more likely.
@nugger @societyoutcasts @EvilSandmich @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @jeffcliff Also people take "collapse" for granted and they also take for granted that the current elites will be displaced. America +100 years is more likely to be ruled by drug cartels than by White nationalists. As for the near future the current power structure is likely to remain in power, but with diminished scope.
A circulation of elites doesn't happen as a matter of course, it only happens when a more competent, better organized group of elites deliberately displace the old elites.
We are fucked
@nugger @societyoutcasts @EvilSandmich @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @jeffcliff I would say it slowly dissolved more than fell.
Rome faded away until Europe sprang from ts bones.
The History of Civilization in Europe by Francois Guizot is where I got this idea from

US Immigration History

As part of the aggressive effort to rewrite history, we often hear that America is 'a nation of immigrants'..

Rarely mentioned is that these immigrants were all from a relatively singular culture, until the end of WW2. What's happened since is completely unprecedented, unnatural.

Are you struggling to figure out what is going on? I sure am.

Like many, I was betting, and praying for, a Red Tsunami that'd deliver us the closest thing to a legitimate Congress that we would have had in multiple generations. Well, we didn't get that.

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko says NATO intended to invade Belarus and Russia since early 2021

could be bullshit but still a provocative thing to say

Why is the "Left" such a totalitarian freak? What is it about them that makes them want to control everything?
