When you think of parties, one very important picture comes to mind: disco dancing! For you, a party is boring if the venue isn't noisy, if there's no music and if there are no people on the dance floor. That's why no matter what, every party that you plan is bustling with excitement. You always make sure that you have a unique party theme s... Read more

In short the answer is yes. Recently there was a story in the NY Sun about the emergence of some food shortages in some regions of the US. Chances are this is a forerunner of what is to come. There are several factors that contribute to why this is even a possibility. For the most part there has always been enough food for everyone on the planet. This is beginning to change. The world is finding itself nearing maximum capacity in not only space but also in many commodities. Oil is a largely the primary commodity running short. The world; however, is not running out of oil anytime soon. It is true that the world has tapped most of the easily accessible oil fields. There is a lot more oil available, but it is becoming more and more expensive to extract shoving up the already inflated oil prices beyond reach. The same situation applies to ore mines. There is only so much ore that we are able to mine even if there is more ore available; if it is not economically feasible to mine it we cannot obtain it. Basically this means that there is just so much supply available at affordable prices. The higher the price the fewer people that can afford it and the more supply there will be available just beyond reach. Food is not left out of this variable. Again, there is just so much food available in the world; much of it is exported and imported to the highest bidder. At one time the US had a very strong currency and would easily be the top bidder in any market; however, in recent years this has changed. The value of the US dollar has been declining steadily over the last few years. The US is now being outbid by other countries when trying to obtain commodities. China is leading the world in outbidding the US for needed commodities. This trend will continue. As the US continues to print more and more money, and water down the value of its currency in the process, the US will find itself with less and less ability to be top bidder in the battle to buy enough resources. The above story of regional food shortage is just the beginning of a very shocking change for America. As a country we have overspent for decades, and now we are just starting to have to face reality. It will be a painful process. Protect yourself.
