We have already expanded our gardens as far as we can with our limited space. Now, we are just planning crop rotations and stocking up on non-perishable foods.
I am also watching my savings more than before to make sure I have enough to cover small emergencies such as broken household infrastructure and car repairs.
Ultimately, that is all most of us can do as we ride out this storm that is coming our way. Hang on to the sides of the boat as the waves are probably going to be rough sailing for the next few years.
Lots of folks stockpiling and planning gardens right now, including some who voted for TFG. My theory is they believe the hardship will take out “weaker” Americans so they can then reap what’s left.
As far as gardening goes, i don't know if cauliflower is worth the space it takes to grow? Also, i wonder if it's more susceptible to bugs than other crops. And i don't think it freezes super well. I mean, i see it as basically a cheese sauce delivery system so that's why i might not bother with it. God this comment is straight-up cauli slander so far.
In my part of Canada in January, nothing is "in season". There are no "farmers markets." Veggies come from far away, are often not great quality, and are expensive enough that honestly scurvy seems like a feasible alternative. Frozen and/or canned are more reasonably priced but are they the best choice from a caloric-density standpoint? What's the most calories/energy/satiety i can get for my money? Please don't say tuna.
I adore roasted cauliflower—it’s one of my favorite foods! We grew it when I was a kid. It does take up a lot of space, though. Tomatoes and herbs are what I mostly grow in my small plot.
Now, as for bang for your food buck: Ham and beans! Go to the store right now and look for marked-down ham from the holiday. You can render the fat into lard. Yes, it’s worth it if the ham is fatty. Next, cut off as much ham as possible, dice it up and freeze it so you can take out just a bit at a time to flavor some beans or soup or whatever. Make a pot of navy beans and add the ham bone! So delicious. This is what I’m having for dinner tonight and my son is coming to help me eat it. Also making a skillet of cornbread. (And some plain beans for my vegetarian husband.)
Because my husband is a vegetarian, I like having the ability to add a bit of ham to just my portion. I do this with potato soup all the time.
Try potato cauliflower garlic latkes like my Mom Z"L, Rest in Playful Peace Moms, as she innovated one Hannukah in our kitchen lab and it became her signature dish of many winners to me one of 2 of her attentive kids. I can't speak for my sister, but she sure chowed down too!
Yes to beans! I just discovered the difference that a shot of balsamic vinegar, a sprinkle of smoked paprika and half teaspoon of brown sugar makes. I used to be the lonely bean-eater but now everyone enjoys them and eats them haha. Good tip about post-holiday ham markdowns.
Cauliflower does not seem like food to me, that said, this food cost situation is absurd and never should have been allowed to get this bad. Everyone in the country should be given food stamps of at least $500 a month per person.
The only other way to cut food cost is to eliminate the middle men, food processors like Carlisle and ADM, Americans need to learn how to grow, harvest, process and cook their own food again like we did just a couple of generations ago. Farmers and ranchers should be able to sell locally directly to the consumer.
No crops should be allowed that are one generation only or that require a patented chemical herbicide just to grow at all, this is a recipe for mass starvation.
There are a few aspects of our capitalist regime that need correcting, drug patents need to be eliminated, all meds needs to be sourced and produced here. Anyone over 60 or disabled should have free choice to try medication without legal oversight. Eliminate all insurance companies and make it a nationalized system. No profit should be allowed for medical, education and mental health services.
Make our country a true democracy instead of an oligarchy. If we really wanted a great country for everyone we need guardrails on capitalism. We should never have billionaires ever, this shows an unbalanced system that is unsustainable. They have ruined our currency, our government and our culture and the earth, enough already eat the rich today.

On inequality, I can see all obstacles in my way. Obstacles will only become surmountable hills when the people say ENOUGH. With the mainstream media in cahoots, with healthcare broken, with the tax codes broken, with exploitation of the bottom on the rise, we are about to storm those hills. I am researching FDR’s lovely embrace of his second bill of rights. I almost feel like he is the father of Democratic ideals for which we should fight. It is up to us to make it happen, and to right the wrongs. 2026. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/marshal-then-arm-our-new-army?r=3m1bs
I’d LOVE to take down the tree that’s between my house and the neighbor. But the cost, last time I checked, was about SIX GRAND because it’s so close to both houses and hard to get to. Maybe someday.
Dad used to shop that assignment. A hungry logger with two workers would always answer and schedule a Saturday morning. One would skinny up the tree and cut limbs off one at a time, then lower them with a rope. Once the tree was de-limbed and topped, they would cut manageable segments off the main trunk. That way the tree was not felled in any direction. Generally $600.
Beautiful roundup, thank you! We've long grown a few crops of things that are both easy to grow and especially expensive in UK (rucola salad, raspberries) and this year, we're also going further and bringing in more veg crops by turning the front lawn into a kitchen garden. I'm hoping we can build more community orchards and gardens, too, for those who can't garden. A lot of public parks here now have park associations of neighbourhood volunteers who are growing veg in raised beds in the public park. I enjoyed the roundup of resistance and share this old bit of anthroplogy knowledge and discussion about forms that resistance can take when you're trapped: pilfering, foot-dragging, gossip and rumour about the wealthy, absenteeism, etc. https://www.powercube.net/other-forms-of-power/scott-resistance/
I like your posts and find the Friday ones useful because they often link to things I haven’t seen. I was surprised by the post that indicated that wealth actually went down for the bottom half of the wealth distribution. I tried to find the supporting data for this and failed. What I found at the Fed and the CBO indicate small gains to the financial crisis then a large plunge, because of the tanking of the real estate market, with a slow recovery until the pandemic when real estate prices increased rapidly. The data indicated that the wealth for the bottom half of the distribution increased a bit over the time period, not declined as claimed. I asked the author for a citation and he couldn’t provide one and said he made an allegation. He was pretty surly and I thought I was respectful in my comments. If he hasn’t deleted them, you can read the stream of comments and judge for yourself. Since you are probably more widely read than he is, I thought you might want to know the situation. As I said to him several times, I am not defending the wealth distribution. I just think the truth is terrible enough to make the point.
These are difficult things to measure because everyone’s situation is different — high home prices mean nothing to me because I bought a cheap house ages ago. High rents and rising home prices don’t affect me. Higher groceries, yes. For a younger person, high rent is disastrous. We couldn’t get by on the income we have if we had to pay rent. So rising income was gravy for us because we already have a house and “stuff.” I’d hate to be trying to afford housing and all the “stuff” you need to start out now. We only need to replace things as they wear out now.
Each study will look at such factors in a different way.
For some older people who have low incomes but a house that’s hugely appreciated, they could see this as manna.
Exactly, that’s why I asked for a citation. I wanted to see the assumptions, time period details, etc. It bothered me that he couldn’t provide one. For the old, housing wealth can be very important. Once you’ve paid off your house, your housing and total expenses go down considerably. It also tends to be the nursing home money for many who need it.
All well said, Michelle (as usual). Thank you for keeping us up to date on this. Now, if only people who study and critique the capitalist economy well from a working class POV like yourself, Robert Reich, and Thom Hartmann stop thinking that the Democrats are going to rescue us from these problems and realize that we need a mass working class movement, not fealty to a specific band of multi-billionaires who pretend to push social values we may find sentimentally appealing, the better off we'll all be.
Let us not forget that this ridiculous surge in grocery prices that you so rightfully point out and lament occurred under a Democrat administration, who did *nothing* for us economically, which is the major reason they lost, with working class people turning to the other wing of the capitalist duopoly out of desperation. Please note again that pushing divisive identity politics (they were not egalitarian!) and histrionically hateful rhetoric against the Orange Opposition did not help them win. We need a fully pro-working class agenda that is rooted in *economics* that unite us all, or prices will continue to go up and up no matter which duopoly billionaire is in office.
The more certain people on the Left cling to the Democrats rather than the working class taking matters into its own hands via a mass movement centered on economics, establishing citizen ballot initiatives in every state, creating a stronger type of union that unites all workers, and a party of our own that does not accept donations from Wall Street, the harder it's going to be for our class to band together under common material ground.
My response to the Election Cycle appeals for workers and clock-punchers to tune out Union Organizers and pay blind obedience to DNC Elites has been: Why do DNC Elites soft-peddle the real change-making activists when Primary Season rolls around? On the national level see if an Elizabeth Warren or a Bernie Sanders gets the DNC pride of place positioning or does it go to the long-running career politicians always backed by Wall Street, the Big Banks & High Finance and the policy-wise status quo candidates like (the one thing Trump may be correct about is labeling him Crooked Joe!) Joe Biden.
Biden may salute the Unions but his policies and policy-making back the Bosses and Big Banks.
Although Old Joe Biden was not so much Crooked Joe as Crooked Trump accused. Old Joe Biden has spent his second term actually bailing out the working class and trying to pass policies that would try to level the lopsided Oligarchy most of our government has become.
So, I don't want to throw Old Joe Biden out or to the curb.
Not to worry he'd be well-cushioned from the vast length of his political Crony Capitalism career. He has banked plenty of Big Bank and Non-Competitive Corporate Capture bucks and endorsements over his 30 year career in ELITE politics with his joining of the most EXCLUSIVE COUNTRY CLUB in the world as the barely shaving 27 year old Jr Senator from the Bank Incorporation tiny postage stamp-sized legal fiction state or fiefdom of the DuPont Family we in the UNION of STATES have named Delaware!

Thank you for noting all of this, Mitch. The Dem supporters from the Left, even those who routinely critique rule by the wealthy (i.e., plutocracy), continue to ignore everything that you said here. They support the Democrats because the latter's identity politics appeal to them, and they have been manipulated into fighting the Culture Wars, a divisive game that pits one working class demographic against another. This is why they hated Trump to such an irrational degree and actually demanded nothing from the Democrats as long as they defeated Trump.
So, they, like the party, put more energy into fighting the Culture Wars than the Class War and had their heads handed to them thoroughly by a working class that can't stand identity politics and desperately needs a long list of economic policies. The Right has their own bad brand of identity politics, of course, but they stuck largely to class issues, something the liberals utterly refused to do.
Even after the Democrats made fools out of themselves and their supporters in this election, some continue to remain rabidly -- and irrationally -- loyal to the party.
I certainly didn't vote for Trump, but I would never have voted for Biden and Harris because they did *nothing* for us and I am not going to ignore that or the fact that they brought us to the brink of World War III.
We have already expanded our gardens as far as we can with our limited space. Now, we are just planning crop rotations and stocking up on non-perishable foods.
