#1 SCENES FROM 21c. AMERICA IN THE TIME OF COLLAPSE

MF to local butcher: "Where's the NY strip?"
Butcher-- a brain-addled replacement worker: "Huh?"
MF: "...the NY strip: you put away all the NY strip that you had on sale. Where did you put it?"
Butcher, uncomprehending, shakes his head and resumes spraying down the sinks.
MF to Store Manager: "What happened to the NY strip you had on sake?"
Store Manager: "All gone. Guys are coming in and cleaning it out. Shopping careful sat a time [motions with arms wide]. Come back early tomorrow morning-- REAL early..."

So now we're into hoarding. The f--king Soviet Union ca. 1989.

God I hate what these morons are doing to our country. Damn them to hell

#2 They aren't getting much sympathy from the oilfield right now. They are not going back to into full boom mode but very slowly expanding and keeping it much more realistic. Don't expect a glut from US production.

#3 Come back early tomorrow morning-- REAL early...

Cows produce methane, you know. There are those who would outlaw beef so just be glad if you can still get it, peasant, and consider switching to tofu.

#4 Yes m'Lord. Some pork knuckles for the children, if it please Your Grace... or a pair o' chicken feet for our soup, just for Sunday (begging Your pardon)?
