Honestly, I just hope society collapses before I'm no longer able to afford rent, so the police have better things to do than drag my family out of our home. My pay has gone up 50% over the last 5 years and I've never been poorer despite cutting the few luxuries we ever enjoyed. There's nothing left to cut.

It's pretty clear what's ahead with this Strait of Hormuz bullshit. I've spent a chunk of my meagre savings on lifetime purchases that'll help us survive regardless of our circumstances, now all I can do is tend my garden, wait for it to all play out, and have my pitchfork ready if needed.
