If you notice the prepper type posts though, you’ll notice that there’s more people giving advice than getting it. I think a good majority of people on these threads have prepped at one time or another. With all this talk of socialism these days, it’s not a bad thing to be self sufficient, which includes some preps. Kinda like farmers or other people that grow veggies and have a root cellar to carry them over the winter, along with an animal butchered and put in the freezer.
I imagine the people in places where shelves are empty might be a bit panicky. Can’t blame them.
I haven’t read anything extreme in these threads. Just a bunch of people tracking what’s going on and we obviously can’t rely on the msm or any fedgov agency to tell the truth.
Proper prepping prevents panic.
I never want to panic.
Therefore I prep.
