RE: When People Are Already Struggling, How Do You Plan for Higher Food Prices?

in LeoFinance2 days ago

I'm really surprised things haven't already spun so far out of control that there is no recovering practically. I try to keep a pulse all across the country and I have friends form NYC to LA. The big cities have been getting hit pretty hard and I feel like a lot of the survival there has been subsidized for the time being.

In the country I often wonder how everyone is making it and driving an monster truck but in some respects a lot of them were able to buy into housing early and it wasn't super outrageous and they kept going. It's a weird thing because in general you can get paid hardly anything here outside of a few situations but then the gas stations and fast food places can't keep employees. Around here they start at "Up to $12 / hour" but they can't keep people at that even in the summers when school is out and you would think some high schoolers might get a summer job. It's interesting for sure.

I do think a lot of fast food places here had illegals working there and some of them are peacing out to dodge ICE raids.

I just got done watching a video about the Florida Condo Price collapse in Punta Gorda, FL. It will get worse with the condo situation.

Then you go to these cities and you see them building all these luxury apartments downtown. It's so confusing in some respects.

Sort:  

You will be even more shocked when they start turning commercial buildings into high end apartments.

They have to try, else they have to write off the entire building. But, they will be trying to rent into a market that is not just falling, but cratering so bad you can't see the bottom.

Corporations are now competing with, doing nothing. Laying flat. Quietly quitting.

If you can live in your mother's basement. By doing some side jobs for a couple hundred bucks spending cash, why would you work for corps? Why would you take on the headache? So that you could waste your life paying shuffling money from job to landlord?

We are REALLY charging to much for a place to sleep.
Men should put in a year of work to build an "apartment", and then be done paying for housing the rest of their lives.

I agree. When men give up trying to attract, impress, or retain women economies collapse. We see the start of that also in China and Japan.

A lot of the luxury apartments get filled with expensive looking dog / plant moms who are getting overpaid by some company to do a non technical role.

I feel like the reason that the African population continues to grow is because in a lot of the areas it is still acceptable to just be out there existing in marginal conditions. Here it isn't acceptable to the women and even if she does allow some guy to have sex with her she is likely not fertile for various reasons. I certainly get why men might just live like a hermit out in some remote area.
