Get some sleep. After you wake up you will see this.
Increase the legal weight to 85 thousand pounds and shut the GD SOB CHICKEN COOPS DOWN!!!!!!!
HOS rules were suspended.
Right now Truckers are our lifeblood.
I would hope the DOT removes Hours of Service limitations for truckers. There are too many critical shipments right now to follow arbitrary limits.
Hours of service mandates break times, hours driven per day and the amount of break time among many other complications
Depends on what you cook.
I can cook pasta, rice, or potato dishes with meat and vegetables cooked as part of the dish and make 20 quarts at a time really cheap. You just need freezer space and you feed a family of two for a week and a half on thirty dollars. Make three of those dishes and the lack of variety is tolerable as long as you keep fruits and chips or crackers around. Probably sweets for people who eat desserts.
or parents working at home
and sadly parents who just lost all their retirement assets
The pessimist in me figures just about the time buying slows down and the supply chain catches up, those “Blue Collar Checks” will come in the mail and many will rush to the store so they don’t get caught “this time”.
“This republic is in DEEP TROUBLE and that scares me a hell of a lot more than this damn flu like virus!! We have become a nation of snowflakes; very eye opening!”
My thoughts, too. VERY disheartening - but it makes me want to redouble my efforts toward self-sufficiency for me and mine.
This free lesson should not be wasted by any Freeper!
It also helps to know what products are produced in your area, so they will be replenished faster.
For example, ordinary bottled drinking water just needs bottles and a high volume reverse osmosis setup, otherwise they just need abundant tap water. This means that production can increase volume almost as soon as they have the bottles.
Dairies often work 24/7 at near 100% volume, so dairy products will return to shelves when the public has enough to last them for a while, so stops panic buying long enough for the inventory to recover.
Cooking chickens grow rather quickly, much faster than laying chickens. Much pork production is decentralized, so provides more when prices go up.
Seasonal fruits and vegetables are warehoused the rest of the year, so when the warehouses are emptied, that is it until the next season. Freezing and canning also enter the picture.
I haven’t seen anything in my neighborhood that approximates those photos. Nothing.
Thanks for posting, I learned a lot.
In six to nine months the stock market will recover...
‘Your piece’ should be correlated to read ‘your posted piece’
I think it will take two years
but yes eventually
but that’s still a massive destruction of wealth which we didn’t do in H1N1
Prayers up for you!
Be safe out there!
Thank you!
I really don’t see a problem with that, nor does it alarm me that a shortage occurs under conditions like this. The good news is that resources are available to replenish as needed.
When we see the empty shelves on media it makes us tend toward incredulity, when in fact it is normal for a handful of people to act weirdly. The rest of us wait it out, and it works out.
This country has lost it mind..
You have not lost your mind, and you are part of this country. If you look around you, you will find that probably 80% of your neighbors are of like mind. They know idiocy when they see it.
That’s why we have a good President, and we will grow stronger as we deal with this strange condition causing a paradigm shift in our midst.
There’s always a shower or corn cobs. LOL. We are blessed to have TP in the first place. Let’s chop some more trees!
“This republic is in DEEP TROUBLE.”
For decades. The progressive cancer is erupting on the skin now, very visible.
LOL. I don’t know if it’s the same people. My construction on this TP run is that some folks thought they would not be able to leave home for several months, so they applied practical sense as they considered. That’s okay. They have their TP and there’s more to become available.
It may at times be worthwhile to instill limits on certain commodities like we did in WWII, but this I know: Our land is blessed with rich resources in every way. We can give thanks to God for that!
