       | If you have a large freezer, buy one and slaughter it yourself.
       | Several hundred pounds of nearly free meat, and not especially
       | hard to process yourself. Various us states have published guides
       | on how to do this

           | What if the global Jobmarkt was helping Britten to fill gaps?
           | 
           | Might this not lead to inflation?
           | 
           | How will it comped within a global market? How much is it
           | losing when it can't comped against EU internal market?
           | 
           | I'm very sceptical and I think this might even less to a few

           | risky.
