We Need a Miracle
Food costs will keep increasing and the hungry will have to peddle to the farmlands to find affordable food. There the farmers will let them gather unsold crops for a few bucks. Those without bikes will have to beg in the streets for food, but there will not be enough available. People too proud to beg will die of hunger because there will be no food stamps to help them survive. Governments will become dysfunctional because they will not be able to support their employees. Government workers will be forced to cut their salaries or be fired. High food costs will make it impossible to survive without a good job. Most people in the private sector will be able to survive without much inconvenience. They alone will be unaffected by higher prices.
Oil supplies are limited and precious. Paying three hundred dollars a barrel for oil might only be months away. Billions of luxury loving people in China and India want a taste of the good life. Their economies are expanding and they now have the bucks to buy the best of everything. They need whatever oil is available and they will pay any price to get it. The rest of the world has to accept this hard reality and pay higher prices for everything. Those without money might be able to find a few seeds to plant. They might not have no alternative.
I feel sorry for the poor and those that depend on government checks for support. If oil goes to three hundred dollars a barrel, a loaf of bread will cost twenty bucks. Only the wealthy and those with great jobs will be eating. It is possible that a miraculous new energy resource will soon be discovered–if that happens our problems will be solved. We must all pray for a miracle to occur.
