I survey the isles at the local Walmart when I do have to make a trip. I have noted for the past several months that many items are either very short or out of stock. I sorta giggle at the thought because I have always had a stock just in case of all the staples. It took a few years with my wife to convince her until the Iraq deployment. When I got home the cupboard was bare and we had a major winter storm where we were bound for a week. Now I am not so crazy. Yes ammo, firearms, precious metals and normal everyday commodities are getting harder to find but if one had planned it would not be an issue. I’d bet gardening and canning will be a priority this summer. We are on the brink as a nation. History is a great teacher of the future.
I see the same thing, including at military commissaries.
Somewhere, there are supply chain disruptions, or suppliers are not getting paid on time, etc.
The funniest part is that if the electricity stops, then water and sewer stops. Especially water. 60 to 70 percent of the country is dead in three to four weeks. Think EMP. They are so worried about covid. With no sanitation, Typhus is the big killer.
Some will simply seek out the people with food storage. Primarily those who are Mormon and had a Biden sign in the yard. They’re the least likely to have firearms as defense.
We aren’t of that persuasion but stock pile our non perishables along with plenty of brass and silver. We probably have more water than any of our neighbors combined. It’s a pain rotating all that water though. The non-perishables are not what they used to be. Most won’t last more than a year. Ramen noodles taste horrible if they’re a year or older.
1more time .. the $40 hunt brothers high for silver would be $160 today ..and silver kills over 600human pathogens without toxicity...makes electric car batteries 500% more efficient...needed for solar panels .... and it’s short 186-1
