Well, here goes….

I have been trying to get a blog going for the last year or so but never seemed to find time to do it–as a person who works multiple jobs in order to support my family, time to do anything but work is a precious commodity. But last week, I fell and broke my ankle, so now it looks like I am going to be off work at my weekend job for several weeks–if the job is still even there once I am healed up enough to go back to it. And to be truthful, I would rather spend my weekends helping other people by sharing some of the things I have learned over the years that will hopefully help some people survive the hardships many people are going to face now that Trump and his unelected co-president are taking a wrecking ball to the country.

Their actions are almost certain to cause a recession, if not an outright depression. Life is about to get a lot more expensive due to tariffs, deportations of migrant workers, and many other actions, such as angering our allies and trading partners such as Canada. The billionaire class will hardly notice if the cost of food, clothing and shelter increases–people like us will be the ones left holding the bag. And if programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are severely cut or even eliminated, millions of vulnerable elderly and disabled people will lose the income and medical services they need in order to survive–not to mention the impact taking this money out of the economy will have on nearly every business in the United States, and the employees who work for them.

Anyway, I hope the information I share on topics such as gardening, food preservation, cooking on a budget, and other poverty survival skills will be helpful to my readers.

Buckle up, folks. We are in for a rough ride.
