They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

    My wife and I tried to plant a vegetable garden last year, it was our second try after learning some things the previous year. We got a lot of veggies out of it and had a lot of fun. We weren’t so interested in saving money, we were more worried about bare shelves at the grocery store. We also have a few chickens.

    We are going to make it even better this year.

    My new year’s resolution this year is to figure out how to build a generator capable of putting out at least 200w. The trick is, I want something that doesn’t require a manufactured fuel to run. Solar or wind are obvious options, but I have also considered a steam engine or wood gas engine.
