Even the mainstream media is picking up on how bad things could get if diesel prices continue to rise. If they get over $7 per gallon, you can realistically expect the masses to react by rioting over the cost of food and other goods.

Truck drivers are already feeling the pain at the pump, and if it gets out of control, the flow of goods, such as food, will stop.  Most Americans are not prepared for this to be a reality. With the food supply already destroyed and at the precipice of collapse, feeding your family is going to get harder and more expensive.

Diesel Shortages are Now “Widespread”

Diesel shortages and the finite economic law of supply and demand are pushing the prices to record levels.  The mainstream media, while admitting the prices are going higher, still places all of the blame of the Russian “invasion” of Ukraine.

The only thing we can do is limit our reliance on the food supply chain as much as possible. Grow what you can. Learn to live with a little less, and stockpile foods that won’t go bad.
