General Discussion

I'm 73 years old and retired, with my 71-Year-old Filipina wife. We live on a sprawling 25-acre family farm in the Central Philippines (Iloilo Province).

Since Trump's war started, fuel has increased 250%. We need it, not only for our vehicles, but for our farm equipment. We are highly dependent on fertilizer and, although we won't need it for two months (the next planting season for rice), we are quite frightened of the increased cost and availability.

I made flight reservations 4 months ago to return for 2 weeks back in Boston this month (April). I am quite worried about the jet fuel shortage and the possibility of flight cancelations.

Trump certainly has affected my life for the worse. I guess there's no where you can go to get away from him.
