the smart meters are forced on people
then they saw that they could get $100 if they signed up for "ac rewards"
it got hot
and they found out what the "reward" was
you just called yourself a fucking jew
the "heads up" was given several years ago
if you did not start preparing then
get with it
even poor people can buy bulk rice and beans
get a lot
after you have that, buy a bunch of tuna or canned ham to go with them
they last for years without refrigeration
ramen noodles are cheap and collage kids have lived on them forever
you might get sick of rice and beans
but you won't be hungry
this is the cheapest . fastest way to get something stocked up
diversify later
