At this point, I honestly believe the onus is on the naysayer, as to whether Biden is sabotaging our economy. If you want to look at what has happened to working folks' dollar, you don't need a microscope or a peer-reviewed economic analysis. Just get in your car and go buy something.
Gas is double. Eggs are triple. Bread is easily half again. Vegetables and meat are easily half again. Seafood is up between 10 and 25%.
There is less variety in grocery stores' vegetable selections, and quality is getting sketchier. Cheese is double. Heavy cream is up 20-30%.
I did not have an extra bottle of water for y2k - and I lived in an urban environment. I don't consider myself panic-prone. But I can powerfully sustain the thesis that it is quite reasonable, for the first time in MY lifetime, to question whether tomorrow will look very much like today.
We've had an election overtly stolen - erasing any certainty that a ballot-driven solution is possible. We've seen our government and our institutions bully citizens to participate in medical experiments. We've seen a hundred governments act in concert to push big pharma's agenda - and anyone on THIS board who is ignorant of the resulting 25% spike in all-cause mortality is wilfully so. We've heard our president directly state that America WILL suffer food shortages, and they WILL be "very real."
Given all of that, I think it is on you to offer proofs that my alarm is similar in nature to that of the y2k crowd (or what have you).
I was actually targeting, obviously not clearly, the climate predictions.
I am basically with you on your post though. In Y2K panic-mode I bought a house and moved finally.
It was an 18 month search I got tired of... didn't want to move really but was tired of the layout of my house.
Got a ranch on some minor acreage in the woods mid 1999.
The primitive place has well and septic. Need electric to have water.
Panicked, I tells ya...
Had to install a generator in the outbuilding. I was so panicked I first ran electric out to it. Then insulated it. But had to wire and light the place. While I had the trench for the underground cable might as well put a phone line in. Since the ground was tore up, why not put in a nice concrete sidewalk?
Insulated with no heat? Hell, gotta get a gas line in too. Install a couple 30,000 btu heaters.
There. Now let's get us a generator.
It was up and running before that enormous calamity hit Dec 31. Whew...
What a bunch of ****.

Today, I see the same signs you do. It is a worse scenario to be sure.
But I think it's more the slow death type. There is no light-switch-makes-all-the-planes-crash-at-once.
So, the concern seems weirdly muted by comparison.
Biden trying to bray wildly is like a old racoon in a Hav-A-Hart live trap that the farmer checks just as an afterthought.
He's gasping out as fiercely as his death rattle allows...
Ineffectual at best. Incompetent at worst.
I believe nothing I read and very little I see these days. Just have the signs right in front of me to go by.
Weather claims are dumb, our masters' agenda is spooky.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
