It seems like the free market is set to bless us with yet another "once in a lifetime" economic crisis, and the working class will get the short end of the stick yet again. What are some tips or advice to not get hit too hard by this? I've heard having all your debt paid off helps but aside from that what are some practical things we can do that aren't just buying 3 years of canned beans and fucking off to a cabin in the woods? Any advice for what the low income and working class can do would be greatly appreciated

    I'd try gardening or even growing herbs if you have any space. I'm a home chef and there are actually lots of depression era recipies which are taught by a real depression survivor here: https://www.youtube.com/user/DepressionCooking

    and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JKBsd3SuVw

    Getting used to the idea of alternative ways to get food or even just having something to chew on is essential in my opinion.

      Seconded on the gardening. As well as being a very practical hobby I find it to be pretty relaxing.

      It's nice to take a few minutes and watch the plants daily progress each day in between work. :comfy:
