Being FORCED to stock up on essentials...

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Not necessarily quickly enough. It doesn't take long for a grocery shortage to have a profound effect. The people running food distribution are all humans as well. That's one reason slowing the spread is so important.

Not many hurricanes in Indiana, are there?

Just make your point.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

I feel like at this point it's irresponsible to NOT stock up more than I normally would.
Not because I fear the virus but because the media induced panic is wrecking store shelves to the point that if I just wait till I need something it wont be available.

This nonsense has gone beyond absurd. 3 days in a row and ZERO stores in my area have toilet paper and the canned goods and dried food sections are almost bare.
This ridiculous shit is self fulfilling

This really has gotten beyond ridiculous I can't imagine how foolish some of these people will feel when this settles down and they are stuck with hundereds of rolls of toilet paper and bottles of hand sanitzer.

Some things I'll never understand

1. People paying for WATER

2. People paying for hand sanitizer (they never heard of soap?)

My house in northern Kentucky was damaged by hurricane Ike's aftermath.

you were NOT forced.

lying fkn conservative

can't you EVER tell the truth?

don't bother answering....I'm sure you'll just LIE!

Nobody forced you to buy anything.

If you get to the store and they happen to be out THAT is CAPITALISM at work!

you seem to want some kind of socialism....

A couple in Australia ordered 144 rolls of toilet paper on-line. Oops...pressed the wrong button, imagine their surprise when a tractor-trailer showed up and unloaded...144 CASES.

I saw that story too guess they are all set if there is a diarrhea pandemic.

Is it domestic?

Yes. Is it here? Then it is domestic. Well that was easy...

And, surely you understand that I hold the POTUS to a higher standard in his choice of words than I do some angry, impotent wingnut on a message board.

Is beer made in Mexico domestic just because it is here? Why don't you just admit you made a stupid mistake and STFU? Corona is imported and thus a foreign beer. COVID-19 is a foreign virus.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Can you imagine what would happen if NYC and the East Coast had a 2-4 day power outage about now?

Shit, our power grid is more outdated than our pandemic preparedness!

Thank a decade and a half of do-nothing Congresses and each other if it occurs!

But, it ain't gonna happen, so go buy more frozen food.

How would losing the power grid happen? Do you people not know anything about how things work?

Hacked.
China has hacked alot of things in our Gov't. Why not our power grid?

First, you are assuming our power grid has anything to do with the internet. That is your error.

Second, "alot" is not a word.

Our power grid has been probed by Triton hackers and Xenotime.
Never say never.

How many times has your boyfriend been probed?

So you're not as all knowing as you pretend to be.
But that's okay. You knew more about SNAP then I did. And that's cool.

I've lived in Florida for over 65 years. Stores anywhere along the forecasted path are stripped clean of generators, non-perishable food, water, batteries, whatever. The storm passes or misses, once the power is restored, a week at most and the shelves are full again.

This is not your and Bernie Sanders' dream countries of Cuba or Venezuela. Our supply lines have not been cut, logistics will soon fill the shelves as people are not going to continue to daily buy what they have over the past week. That is the normal flow of things.

You're just a hate monger who has been told to hate President Trump. You don't know why because he is doing a remarkably great job. But you follow the instructions give to you.

Wizard Yakob created the virus to eliminate the inferior white and yellow races. Didnt you get the memo?

Drumpf is a fuckup of colossal magnitude. You got to be ******* fooling yourself.

So you dont have proof and youre just stalling. Got it.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

People need to understand there is no supply problem and back off.

Hmm, seems like an opportunity that calls for smart leadership from the top.

So, you can forget about that.

Ya figures Trump does nothing you complain, Trump acts you complain.

That sure is some cultish crybabying, there.

If Trump would come out and say that there is a plan in place to make sure the shelves do not go empty (and actually be able to point to an actual plan), that would be a large help.

OK STUPID what gives the Federal Government authority to tell stores what to do? Please be specific and cite for us the specific clause article and power that the Fed has on this.

Exactly. But I don’t have to buy hand sanitizer anyway. My place of employment has wall dispensers full down each hallway.

I did get a filtered water pitcher a few years ago though.

RETARD ALERT, it was and IS national NEWS that it ORIGINATED IN WUHAN CHINA you ******* MORON.

MORON IT STARTED THERE. Common FACT even a 5 year old can grasp, I guess you must be 4.

 

[bodecea]

These make decent butt wipes, I'll bet. View attachment 312675

But it's probably from China, so be careful. Disinfect it.

Agreed. After all, diaper donnie told us it was a (((FOREIGN))) virus.

Is it NOT a foreign virus? Where did it originate? Milwaukee? Chicago? Miami?

(((FOREIGN))) *wink *wink

No need to stock up. The panic buying will end when people see that there are no real shortages. Monday or Tuesday should be the end. Right now there are rumors flying around about all stores ordered to be closed. As soon as this is shown to be untrue the panic will start to subside.

The design is that the whole thing will be over by April.

I think you are unreasonably optimistic. The mayor of KC has already begun shutting things down.
Very frustrating that people act this way.

Democrats should pay a hefty price for what they are doing. Gallows and ropes comes to mind.

Poe, you need to be careful and not go over the line....there are REAL crazies here that will believe what you suggest. We've had three in the past who have committed acts of terror.
