Monthly, Is your prepping theory working / happening / changing? What preps are paying off?

Honestly, I've no idea of what I'm doing or if it will work like intended. I've asked my docs for two prescriptions of every medication I need. One prescription lasts for 3 months. If during that time that medication is out of stock for whatever reasons I'll have another 3 months to organize a generica or wait till the medication is in stock again. I try to follow the news here on what kind of food might be sparse this year because of war, crazy egomaniacs or climate change and buy enough preserves or whatever of these kinds of food. People will not want to do without whatever it is that is getting sparse. So prices may rise world wide thanks to globalisation and greed. Like if the tomato harvest might be mainly a failure this year I'm buying enough canned tomatos for my stash to last me for a year if I use them wisely and sparringly. Unfortunately I cannot buy and store away a lot of food because my apartment is tiny and I'm on social welfare. But I try to be prepared for rising prices. Our current government under chancellor Merz is happily chopping away at our welfare state, employees rights and statuary health insurance, pension system, support for parents, public facilities like schools, clinics, libaries, authorities and organisations who are supposed to help people in all kinds of need. The only people who aren't suffering from any of the austerity measures they try to implement are literally millionaires and big companies. By doing this chancellor Merz is also helping our far right party which tries to destroy Europes unitiy, undo even more social securities and tries to sell us out to the highest bidder, either Russia or the US. Plenty of people with enough common sense left fear the next elections as the AfD is getting more and more popular. Oh, and we decided to postpone climate change, our minister for economics is best buddies with energy providers which turn gas and coal into energy. And plenty of small and big companies are laying off people or stopped hiring altogether. It's really high time for Germans to take to the streets and demand that the government starts to work for all of its people, not just the 1%. And Poland was promised an additional 4000 US soldiers to stay there. Cynical me doesn't want this, not under Trump and oligarchy. It feels like putting a cat amongst the pidgeons. I'd like to say that we simply don't know anymore who is friend and who is foe but we know. We just refuse to believe them. To my friends in the US, we are afraid of and strongly dislike your government and what they stand for. But we do not blame the people. Just the crazies in Washington.
