The markets took a brutal beating today; while I normally don't associate canning with financial markets, I found this quote (from an AP article) to be fascinating :
One blogger, Michele Catalano of Long Island, posted this on Wednesday: "Dreamed about AIG and the stock market, woke up with the urge to stock up on canned goods and shotguns."
Is what we're seeing a fundamental market correction, or a panicked slide into something much worse? And what do we preserve when stocks drop to these levels? This past weekend, I saw a home jerky maker for sale in a cookware store -at the time, I imagined that it was for all those folks who care about drying organic or sustainably raised meat, but I now wonder if it isn't a sign of the times. I've decided to do some research to see if there is a rise in the inclination to preserve - if anyone has any anecdotal evidence, I'd be interested in hearing it.
