Staple food crops have almost tripled in price since last year and more farmers are actually exporting their crops for better markets which makes the prices surge even more locally. On top of all that we're experiencing like a semi-drought from irregular rain patterns and such. Oh and I almost forgot some water sources have almost completely dried including ones used for HEP so pretty much the whole nation is experiencing daily power outages, with prior warning of course. I live in Tanzania in case you're wondering.

Thanks internet stranger it probably sounds worse to you than it actually is. The thing about us 3rd worlders is we tend to be resilient, so atm it is still bearable. gif

I’ve read a lot of opinions on societal collapse and generally, if things turn bad globally then it’s the people from poorer countries who will stand it better. More skilled and experienced to look after themselves and ensure their basics are met.
