US will be fine. Higher food prices sure. But you'll at least be able to buy it.

Lot of other nations, MANY nations...different story:

When I lived in Mexico I knew guys who had not eaten meat until they were adults, and thereafter rarely; they lived on the government "basic basket" foods.

They are subsidized; beans, tortillas, other things.

In Japan I ate out every meal for a month and lost weight; at a Chinese restaurant when the dish came it was about enough to fill a large ashtray.

It's too bad how fucked up things are getting.

Good link. While I don't agree with it all (eg about jabs) that can be overlooked for other info.

You must have known some really broke ass people in Mexico. None of these people worked? And I don't mean coding, I mean working in the fields, construction laborer, sweeper, dishwasher, pumping gas, washing windows at an intersection. What part of Mexico was this?

That's because we are exceptional. And anyways, who cares about that? Aren't we all supposed to be focusing on the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine?

There were a lot of brokeass Mexicans a few decades ago; that’s why they came up to the USA.
The situation has improved since the 80’s.
Today in Baja California Sur (a prosperous state) guys are making $400/month.

I knew people at all levels, megabucks to dirt poor.

And then you came back to the USA and went to american restaurants and your serving size was enough for 3 people. But yet you managed to eat it all.

An income of $400 a month in Mexico is more than enough to eat well. Last month i paid $5 kg ($2.30 lb) for beef tenderloin. That's the most expensive cut of beef here. A 6 pack of Carta Blanca is $2.50 out the door....cigs are $1.15...30 eggs $3.00...chicken quarters $0.70 lb.

The guys who make $400/month in Mexico aren’t starving, however they are not cooking steak very often.

The people whom I know at that pay level aren’t able to live well, but they are not starving either.

In the 80’s I knew a lot of guys who were worse off. They lived on government subsidized foods.

I took a female to a nice restaurant, and after wine and tip the tab was $90.

She looked at it and was a bit surprised that we just blew what her friends make in about a week.

I bought a turkey for Thanksgiving and it was $50+, but I forgot what they cost in the USA.

Keep flashing cash like that in a 3rd world country and you're gonna wake up one morning missing.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Mexican eating a STEAK like westerners do...they would eat beef chopped and in a taco or cooked in a pot for many different dishes...Living WELL is a relative term. Some might say giving up 10+ hours a day of your life at a job isn't living well... $90 for dinner for 2 in mexico? You are living like a westerner...Turkey has always been very expensive here...Its a luxury for XMAS (no thanksgiving here). Turkey costs at least twice the price of chicken per Kg.

I guess one of the fortuitous things about California is it's an agricultural bread basket, so we will probably have a certain amount of commodities continuing to be available. There is also lots of areas that can be utilized as victory gardens with long growing seasons. Of course, Newsom et alia can institute more destructive and irrational water policies to prevent watering food growth areas.

I would like to see the areas where the Globalists and Gates have bought farmland in order to induce their campaign of starvation. By current reports, they have mostly been in the Pacific Northwest and some Great Plains areas.

I went out with the wife and some of her friends the other weekend and spent $200 on dinner and drinks for just the two of us. I guess it was in Newport Beach on Balboa island tho.
I can afford it, easily, but it’s still a little shocking to a guy who grew up poor.

For thousands of years Egypt exported wheat to Europe.

About 40-50 years ago the populous started listening to the Fundamentalists and stared having kids like crazy. Now they have a population of over 100 million. It imports more wheat than any other country in the world.

That's fine if you have stuff to sell to cover the imports (they simply don't).

With a massive decrease in the amount of wheat on international markets there is simply going to be mass starvation.

I am expecting millions of Egyptians to perish through starvation/civil war.

It will make the Holodomor look quaint.

As a reference they had a population of about 35 million in 1970.

That reminds me of a story a Mexican neighbor lady told me about when she married a white guy and came to the US and one day she found some T-bone steaks in the fridge that the husband had bought.

That man came home that night to the steaks all chopped up and made into chili.

Maybe it was good chili, but probably not good enough to keep the white guy from getting pissed about losing those steaks. Ah, when cultures collide.
16   ElYorsh   2022 Mar 22, 1:00pm  

Chili is not a Mexican dish. Maybe TexMex, but not Mexican

Sure. While ignoring the millions that will starve in Africa to come.

EXACTLY! Along with all the other problems in the USA.

What? A Mexican can't make chili, or something close to it?

The point is when this Mexican lady saw the T-bones she did not see steaks on a grill. Instead, she saw meat to chop up and put into something.

Sheesh!

As long as it's mostly Africans starving to death, I'm all for it.

Until the big lettuce plantations suck up 10,000 years of aquifers. #1 user of Water in Cali is Agra, but all they do is harp on showers and toilet flushing. Residential vs. Agra is not even close.

No. It's cultural appropriation.

Are you saying that urban americans can eat fruits and vegetables that aren't perfectly cleaned, trimmed and blemish free? And meat that isn't plastic wrapped in a foam tray? Also consider by that time, the chinese will probably have bought up all the big farms with their 1 trillion in treasuries and payed off the politicans.

When I Rome, do what the Roman's do. I assume if you're in a 3rd world country and the locals see you as rich, compared to them anyway, you may experience some bad juju?

Clif High refers to the coming China famine often, as well. His take is China is looking to take over the only source of enough good farmland to fix this - usa, but will fail. Too many armed americans.

Went to Cancun last week. Had the kids, so tourist zone it was for safety. At no point did I ever feel unsafe. Walked the streets wearing my nice watch. Went to Isla Mujeres. Basically we looked like we had money. I only carry cash on vacation so I'm not at all smooth with it to be honest. So I'm an easy target. Nothing.

I know there are parts of Mexico that are sketchy, but my 7 or 8 times there have been great. Mexico and Mexicans get a bad reputation because of the war on drugs and illegal border crossing, which is real. Most Mexicans are pretty wholesome and hard working people though. Most of the violence is through drug trade no different than the south and west sides of Chicago in our own country.

We get fed a lot of bull shit because 98% of people cannot experience it. My friends and family all would be considered middle and upper middle class. Most haven't been to Mexico and it's a 3 hour flight. We try to plan group trips and I'd say 50-60% are like fuck no on Mexico because of media and what they read. But Jamaica is totally fine to them. We had a great time in Jamaica, but it is a shitty looking place for the Caribbean and that's saying a lot.

I like to say that the Mexicans are just like the Irish from 150 years ago.

Same economic niche (maids and construction, etc), Catholic, big families, good natured.

A friend of mine pointed out that the current Mexicans, they are more American than Americans are.

They are family oriented, hard working, they have their problems (like anybody does), but generally decent stand up people.

I can't imagine very many Mexicans being pro-LQBTQ or accepting that shit in their schools. They do remind me of the Poles and Irish of 1930. They might be our salvation.

The ones that try to integrate, I appreciate them. To me, integration just means they learn to speak the language, and have a respect for our STATED principles. They are a better group than the idiots that think free speech is dangerous and out to be curtailed - those are old Americans.
