(Crazy) economy news

[Rockstar]

Hey everyone the economy in 2024 could be just tiny bit concerning. Here’s an idea to help get you by.

During the Great Depression, onions were a commonly grown and easily stored vegetable, making them both abundant and, notably, cost-free. Simultaneously, peanut butter was an economical ingredient. Hence, the Bureau of Home Economics formulated a recipe for peanut butter-filled onions as a convenient solution for American homemakers to provide nourishment to their families.

This peculiar dish's recipe was widely featured in newspapers and magazines throughout the 1930s and eventually made its way onto American dining tables as an affordable, palatable, straightforward, and nutritious meal suitable for any time of day.

This hodgepodge comprised baked onions stuffed with a mixture of peanut butter and stale bread crumbs. Unfortunately, these components combined to create an unappetizing dish that was consumed solely out of necessity to alleviate hunger.


Mmmmmmmm.

If there is no beef available anymore I will turn to become a zombie. Two legged cattle there will be plenty around to fulfill my new carnivore needs.

I think I could eat an onion sandwich. When I order Bacon McDoubles once I get them home I pile up a generous mound of chopped onion on top. I can do pretty good on refried beans too as long as it's Rosarita brand to which I add a can of low salt kidney beans.

Shares of Maersk plunge 18% as shipping giant announces 10,000 job cuts, says profit will be at lower-end of guidance (CNBC)

Shipping giant Maersk, a bellwether for global trade, on Friday announced plans to reduce its workforce by more than 10,000 people and said it expected profit to be at the low end of prior guidance.

The firm’s Denmark-listed shares had fallen 18% by early afternoon to their lowest level since October 2020.

“Our industry is facing a new normal with subdued demand, prices back in line with historical levels and inflationary pressure on our cost base,” CEO Vincent Clerc said in a statement, adding that overcapacity in most regions had driven down prices.
