OH MY GAWD, no TP to be had in town.

Ammo, wow, we've got plenty. Folks are going nuts cause of the news blowing it all out of proportion. Heck, they never shut anything down for the virus that comes around every year and there's no cure for it and has killed more people. Me and my wife aren't all hyped up like some folks. We live in a good neighborhood and we try to help each other.

My though regarding the freezers:
all the additional freezers will collapse the electrical supply (if it doesn't crash on its own once employees stop going to work to begin with) and all the frozen goods will go bad.

In regards of toilet paper, I haven't purchased a single roll in weeks and I won't look into getting any anytime soon.

I did rush to town today to make an emergency purchase.
I bought anti flea/tick drops for my mom's pup - last evening my dad found a tick attached behind Heidi's ear.
She does wear an anti flea/tick collar, but it would seems it has lost its effect.
That is about the only emergency purchase I had to deal with.

While driving through town I was amazed by the sheer amount of cars with foreign licence plates.

No TP and the power grid goes down.....no problem. Dining room chair with a hole cut in it, set in the back yard, or with a bucket under it. I would suggest a board attached to the front to prevent splash. I receive TP every day in the mailbox. You can read it first while doing your business, then crumple it up for a while to soften it up.

I saw a lady try to return 62 bottles of Aloe Vera gel, that she had bought thinking it was hand sanitizer. She was told No!

Add some isopropyl alcohol to it and you pretty much have hand sanitizer

There's hardly anything left around here. Even powdered milk and baby food is bought up. I went the other day to get off road for the tractors and non ethanol for the saws at our little mom n pop station in town and as I drove past get go, the place was packed

Yep, that's what my wife did.

Not sure if its cause of this corona crap but our gas is dirt cheap. I did fill our three vehicles up. Not cause of the virus but to just save a few bucks.

I’ll say I have plenty of projectiles to make sure what is mine stays mine unless I’m asked for said things.....
One of our station crews went to the store this morning, said it took over an hour to check out at the register lines.

When fuel prices are down, my oil stocks are down. When fuel prices go up, my oil stocks go up. I win either way....Dammit. Sometimes you have to force it to win.

Yeah this stuff is getting out of hand. There's been reports of fighting over stuff at stores. If i was a trucker that hauls these goods, I'd be on high alert and constantly aware. If they start to feel unsafe or start getting attacked and stop running, we're fuc#ed

 

[Agent Smith]

This is whats going on a few towns over from me. People are damn near buying pallets of stuff right off the truck. This intersection right down the road from my closest walmart

The oil prices are down because Russia and the Saudias are having a crude price war.

That sure does not look like a personal usage purchase, that looks like a profiteering attempt/scheme.

My mom went to town today, she was in two of our many local supermarkets, when she came home she said the shelves were picked clean.
I know for a fact that till yesterday everything was packed with goods.

I do not want to know what will happen when the s#it hits the fan.

The price is so low because Russia and Saudi Arabia are having price wars on oil

Listening to the radio earlier, I heard some economist saying that the virus is going to affect supply lines for all products in all regions of the country.
He suggested that people have a two month supply of ANYTHING they might need.
Think about what you buy in a 60 day period. It's 17% of what you buy over the course of a year.
Personally, I think the guy is full of *s-wordt.
This country is too strong to allow the situation to become completely unspooled.

The situation is bad enough as it is, without people like this idiot fueling the hysteria.

 

[alleyyooper]

Maybe a two month supply of Beans, Rice and some pastas so the kids can have mac and cheese.

Ok folks I'm sure it's all in good fun. But the political police will be along soon if you claim any allegiance to a "normal thought process by which logic and commonsense prevails " now let's give it some time and keep calm... remember you will be much better served to turn OFF the news.
