That was always the plan here. Stock up, cut unnecessary spending, stop spending. Who in America wouldn't be doing this right now? They're trying to rob everyone blind. Best way to fight it as a mere citizen of a stupid nation is to not participate in their games, and protest, of course.
We can cut consumerism from our lives in the US with minimal effort. All those in the Federal government and billionaire class want from us is our money, they don't care about our lives, they just want to kill, deport, or destroy us. So, why give them any more money? (Still shop and support local business, don't cripple your life, don't live on only ramen noodles, don't skip medical care, just, shrink that footprint.)
Live minimal. Live free.
