As per the title, western press is starting to doom post about mass shortages of food and fuel in the coming months if the Epstein Coalition doesn’t back down against Iran.

What if anything should we start stockpiling in anticipation of future shortages?

    I’m unclear why you think iodine pills will be worth gold when they don’t prevent radiation sickness.

      You’re arguing a point nobody is making about iodine pills preventing radiation sickness.

      What they do is prevent you from getting sick much later by flooding your thyroid with good iodine preventing the absorption of radioactive iodine, which is in fallout.

      They’ll be worth gold. Who cares if they work or not? Do you know an Alpha Black Lotus isn’t worth anything? It’s just cardboard and ink. It’s worth something because people believe it’s worth something.
