  all food prices are going up dramatically, you can't have outragous fuel prices and not have it cause other prices to skyrocket.

  I'm scared as hell. Anyone have any tips for growing rice in Colorado?

  • Just buy a bag of rice, make tiny holes in your soil, drop one grain per hole, and water it daily.– Spookyhome1/2

  I must point out (for those outside of U.S.) that Costco does not sell normal rations of anything, you can't just go in there and but one normal box of rice, or cereal or anything in the "normal proportions standard" if they sell rice, the smallest box you will find looks like this:

  

  • So this should answer kona's question– Meeklo1/10

    where do you think that rice comes from? an endless supply?– mrdobolina2/10

    Yeah, we only shop there because there are 7 of us....– Jaline3/10

    holy shit! that would last me 6 months!– kona4/10

    the carts there must be ginormous. "ok, we got rice, potatos, a crate of cereal, a drum of milk..."– kona5/10

    costco and sams club is the reason people need such huge houses.– mrdobolina6/10

    for their fat farting kids!– mrdobolina7/10

    WTB [big bag of rice] PST– Cultr8/10

    HAHAHAHA– Meeklo9/10

    The proportions are ridiculous, and that's why it should be for large families and/or events only. Unless you're storing...– Jaline10/10

  This is not going on in the UK to my knowledge.... is stuff generally getting bad in the US at the moment?

  • yea , prices going up on everything left and right– BattleAxe1/3

    Basic foodstuff prices are up, and their is an artificial run on rice, as opposed to a real one in other parts of the world.– TheBlueOne2/3

    This is actually less than a year ways from being completely fucked..– lifterBARON3/3

  This is getting no coverage over here. I saw a headline today that fuel prices are going high, so maybe its about to start.

  Fuck.

  • don't you all have people freaking on petrol though?– flashbender1/3

    Not yet to my knowledge no. I live on the very peripheries of civilisation though, by the sea.– Spookyhome2/3

• harlequino

  I could be positive and say that maybe an actual global food emergency will absolutely force everyone to seek fuel alternatives over oil for shipping, but I know that's still unrealistic. :/
  Wait till it starts fuckin with corn shipments, then we'll see some shit.

  • corn is being used for ethanol.– mrdobolina1/6

    i have a near endless supply of corn in my parents backyard. i'll sell it for $100 an ear. :)– kona2/6

    Is anyone using the ethanlol based fuel?– harlequino3/6

    brasil uses a shit load of ethanol. Ethanol sucks by the way. it is not a viable alternative– flashbender4/6

    E85. you'll find most new chevys have models that are flex fuel. the bad part is they get worse mileage than reg fuel.– kona5/6

    ethanlol?
    more like..ethanLOLZERS– harlequino6/6
