I hate buying toilet paper and paper towels. I know every single time I do it will require higher math as well we me being duped by marketing. So of course I just swallow the emotional hurt and pick whatever. With something like eggs and milk it's very easy to know that "that" is a dozen eggs. Though to be honest eggs are actually more complicated than this too. Ask anyone who has back yard chickens the difference between the shell and the yoke in one of their eggs verse any store bought eggs and they can tell you. It's amazing the difference. Recently one of the guys got busted for backyard chickens and I was fortunate enough to inherit some good layers. The quality and taste of these eggs and price is almost hard to explain. These chickens are happy chickens who get to scratch and pick and do chickeny things all day. The ones form Walmart are some poor sad animals locked up getting only just enough nutrients to lay a sad pathetic yellow almost transparent yoke inside of a super thin egg shell. If you had bought 18 such eggs at the end of March 2022 it would have cost you about a dollar here in Virginia. That same 18 eggs today at the end of of April is $4. If you lived in Hawaii it would be $6, and you would only get 12 sad eggs not 18.
I have scientifically broken down the protein content and nutrients you get from one of Farmer Ben's eggs and it is about 1,000 more gooder than Walmarts. Also his eggs aren't supporting lockdowns and masks and God only know what else the people in charge have planned. Also and I can't prove this but I think all the stuff we are blaming on Putin might be blame-able on Walmart, but that's just a theory. Sort of. ( Side note: In 2020 when the world was locked down Amazon, Walmart and anyone else who took the knee (figuratively) was allowed to stay in business and see record increases in shares. Now I'm not saying these companies are somehow all doing spirit cooking but there does seem an evil correlation between those who prospered and those who suffered these last two years, and for those who suffered your suffering isn't over yet.) In 1964 a gallon of gas was about $.30. So for the sake of numbers the same as a 1964 quarter which was 90% silver. That same quarter now is about $4.23, which is about the same cost a a gallon gas today (national average). The average income was about $6,600 (and a single family income at that). Today is about 10% higher ~$66,000. So shouldn't the gas be the same? Again with higher math. I hate it. I have a GED, and only an average IQ (look at my grammar and sentence structure), but I don't have to be a rocket surgeon to tell you that middle America is in trouble. What is happening in Eastern Europe actually has not hit the gas pumps yet, and neither has it hit bread prices like it will. Ukraine is not planting this spring, that will effect you this fall. What's happening to eggs is only the beginning. We've only just started culling flocks from an imaginary bird flu (tests are being done with the PCR). Now is the time, find the money find the space and time to store food. Hawaii is the canary in the coal mine, watch for them to have issues; that will be your last reminder to get zip lock bags, food grade containers and stock up.
House keeping:
We had a really good meeting Tuesday and Fr D shared a ton with us (sincere thanks Padre). We will have him join us again. He provided information we need to make copies of and distribute and I think he gave us some marching orders (if you didn't catch it he also said stock up food). We will implement things and meet again soon. I'd ask if someone would kindly volunteer to host on a Friday night Fr S will join us and I hope make this more of a book club. Lastly, Farmer Ben and and Farmer Adam are in need of support. If you don't know who they are or how to support them let me know. We need to support them because there will come a time when they will support us. I'm as serious as vaccine induced miocarditis.
