I expect that others are in the same boat and that we’ll see a downturn in consumer purchasing very soon.

    We replaced our old, crummy laptops a couple months ago in preparation. I bought some new underwear. And tomorrow (day after?) we’re going to go stock up on cans of tomatoes, rice, and sugar. And vitamins. We have a lot of stuff laid away but I want to really be sure…

    The only thing I’m not prepared for is… and I know a lot of people haven’t thought of it… My medication. I take generic medication. Most of our generics are either imported, or rely on ingredients that are imported. We’re going to be looking at some really, really bad news in the next few months on that alone. I recommend anyone reading this, if you haven’t already laid away stuff like ibuprofen, aspirin… Might be smart.
