There is no doubt that inflation has been hitting every sector of the United States economy.  This means basic commodity prices are going up at an alarming level.  Food inflation for example is particularly debilitating for most Americans.  As the common folks see their money lose value due to hyperinflation, more and more commodities become out of reach which could lead to hunger, malnutrition, and more crisis.  You can survive this crisis by sharing in the growth of agriculture and looking for alternative real currencies such as silver or gold.
