We could start with inflation. They say it is currently at 8.2% but we all know, at least those of us who go grocery shopping, and pay for stuff, that is is higher than that.

We could start with inflation. They say it is currently at 8.2% but we all know, at least those of us who go grocery shopping, and pay for stuff, that is is higher than that. It'll go higher still because the Fed has to tighten interest rates, and the fuel shortages are going to become far, far worse. Add to that this administration can't stop spending.
Currently I heard it estimated we have less than 20 days of diesel fuel on hand. Everything important runs on diesel. No trucks, trains, no agriculture machinery, no home heating fuel. What will be available will be vastly more expensive because it's all supply and demand. This administration can deny rational economics but the old tried and true is still true and will bite them in the rear. Biden has also dangerously depleted our fuel reserves, including diesel, as well as our military hardware.
The shortage of fuel, and the raise in rates will slow down the economy causing layoffs and smaller businesses will go out of business. All businesses will look to slim down to cut their overhead. The days of frivolous HR policies may be coming to an end out of necessity. A company can't maintain a load of incompetent, useless employees in lean times.
Michael Yon is predicting worldwide food shortages and famines. I hate to go that far for the US but if trucks which supply everything from gasoline to the gas stations and food to the stores are grounded due to a lack of diesel fuel or diesel fuel so expensive they can't afford to purchase it, the effect is the same. Empty shelves.
And, you think this administration which CAUSED the fuel shortages to start with has any idea how to address the problem. you are dreaming. Biden's solution is to put a windfall profits tax on oil companies. I was around as a very young adult when Jimmy Carter did this. It made the shortages worse. You get less of what you tax more.
People in the colder areas of the country will suffer the worst. Many will not be able to afford heating oil this winter. Another reason I am thankful I live in Florida. We get a couple of cold days during the winter but at least I can load up on clothing layers.
The bright spot for the Democrats and Biden is all this will happen after the Republicans retake the House and Senate. Biden will be able to blame them for all the misery he and his incompetent administration have created. The sycophant media will magnify this and incredibly stupid people will believe it.
That is not all. There is room for worse.
The good thing is that people will be elected to the House and Senate with solid common sense and real know how. People such as Blake Masters and Joe Kent. I am counting on them to be beacons of hope and sanity.
Don't forget we've had more than a hundred food processing plants destroyed, plus tens of millions of chickens killed due to viral infections (lab leak? right....).
Fertilizer production halted and export halted in Ukraine - 25% of the world's fertilizer. No fertilizer, greatly diminished crops.
A lot more... all of it aimed at tearing it down so they can "build back better" (and killing off "useless eaters" and economies along the way). You can't build BACK unless what was originally built is gone...
I hope you’re correct about the GOP Red Wave saving us but 42 years of experience within the party have taught me that WILL NOT HAPPEN. The GOP* are not any better or different than the Dems.

I’d give just about anything to be wrong on this.
The news ones coming in don't owe anything to the old party. I have great hopes for them.
