to change in a major way, but the vast majority of the population still does not understand what is coming.\u00a0 Throughout our entire lives, we have always been able to depend on a couple of things.\u00a0 There would always be cheap gasoline to fuel our vehicles and there would always be mountains of cheap food at the grocery store.\u00a0 No matter who was in the White House and no matter what else was going on in the world, those two things always remained the same.\u00a0 Unfortunately, those days are now over and they aren\u2019t coming back.<\/p>\n<p>We have entered the greatest energy crisis that any of us have ever experienced, and it isn\u2019t going to go away any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>So you might as well get used to high gas prices.\u00a0 Earlier this month, brand new all-time record highs were set\u00a0<a title=\"all over southern California\" href=\"https:\/\/ktla.com\/news\/local-news\/gas-prices-hit-record-highs-in-l-a-orange-riverside-counties\/\"

problem.<\/p>\n<p>The real problem is with natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the war in Ukraine, supplies of natural gas in Europe have become extremely tight, and this has pushed prices into the stratosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, this is going to greatly affect food productions in the months ahead.\u00a0 According\u00a0<a title=\"to Bloomberg\"
