Start investing in our land of wood and water. Invest in agriculture. Start eating what we grow.

I’m just sorry for these poor people who can’t even buy food yet some of these governments, like the one in Jamaica, run to the International Monetary Fund thinking that will help .This is the same thing they did back in the day and it did not help the poor in one way or the other.

Been warning people for months now, and all now the favourite Brogad hasn’t addressed the nation about the recession and its adverse economical effects that’s in motions for Jamaica, but yet they boast of one per cent and two per cent growth and how much millions is set to be made next year when data and statistics say otherwise.

Time for us to start planning and planting more rather than waiting for the farmers to feed us. Use the space you have and make it work for you. Vertical plating is the way to go if space is limited. Times are indeed getting harder but we have to work on getting to a place where we can provide even a portion of food ourselves.

The pronouncements from economists and the prevailing inflation, manufacturing and shipping challenges all seem to be pointing to the world going into a full recession next year. Time to evaluate/restructure finances, plant a food garden, and further strengthen our faith in God.

It rise every week. Sick of this! America throwing away good food and supplies regularly. Y’all should look up dumpster divers especially on tiktok. How can there be a shortage and constant rise in prices with such a huge wastage?? – @876kittysoftpaws

Growing things is not free either, some of us don’t even have water to wash ... it takes cash to produce as well.

Yes, I know that this and more will have to take place to help crash the fiat currencies in order for the central bank digital currency to come in full effect. It’s all a part of the plan. Please note, my people, that everything is global. There is nothing a single country can do to prevent this and more to come. It pays to serve God.
