While the middle class and above may cope with the rising cost of gasoline, most Americans can’t. Gasoline is a must-have commodity and we have to have it in order to buy the staples we need to live. If we can’t afford to drive out of our driveways, what are our options. We are being forced to cut back on the things we previously enjoyed as Americans. Things such as cable TV, movies, restaurants, cell phones, sporting events, visiting distant relatives and others. Who ever heard of $3-4 dollar milk shakes at McDonald’s, Burger King, etc. Eggs at $3-4/dozen. Milk at $4-5/gallon. There is no mild recession and we are in for some real tough times. Now there are more reasons for people to become aware of disaster recovery kits when we can no longer drive down the street.
And it gets worse! The world hunger crisis is all over the news this week. In just three years, the price of staple foods like wheat, corn and rice has almost doubled. The soaring cost of staple foods and the resulting hunger crisis has caused riots from Haiti to Bangladesh, threatens hundreds of thousands of people with starvation and could push one hundred million more people deeper into poverty. This is worse than hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc. At least, you have a chance for survival with disaster recovery supplies.
