It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. This sums up two widely watched consumer surveys that depicted a public that is both optimistic and pessimistic about the state of the US economic landscape. The economy remains the top issue for voters heading into the November election. But what are they saying about current and future conditions? It is a mixed portrait.
What Did You Say About the Economy?
The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index tanked in September following a solid upwardly revised number in August. It was the sharpest decline since August 2021, as all survey components, be it business conditions or incomes, deteriorated last month. Indeed, the jobs picture continues to be one of the top concerns for many people, says Dana M. Peterson, the chief economist at the Conference Board.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
