so what if granny or grandpa takes all the fresh meat and cheese and eggs let alone TP....what are people supposed to feed their children....
First of all seniors are just not like that they are not the ME, ME, ME generation AND they are also on very fixed incomes so they are not going to hoard anything!! They should be going into the stores when they are clean before everybody gets in and spreads their germs around!!
At 66, you’re a spring chicken :)
personally, I don’t want to see any children in the grocery stores right now, germ-ridden little curtain climbers. In Calif, some 70% are on free school lunch and so will get 3-day, 3-meal packs, or whatever arrangement their district figures out. They’re not going to starve by any means.
There’s an irrational hoarding surplus in America, not a food shortage. But the hoarding surplus is affecting seniors ability to obtain food and stay safe when shopping. Seniors that may not have the capacity to garden or raise livestock. Who may not have family or a private shopper.
Grocers, rightly so, are thinking of their regulars, who may have SS as their only income. Who can’t afford to go to the store every day. Who don’t need the stress of not being able to find a loaf of bread or a pkg of hamburger on their single weekly trip or being elbowed out of the way. I posted a few days ago that Mr BP helped a disabled lady who was being pushed out of the way reach for some lettuce - and some 30something tried to grab the bag from Mr. BP!! It’s complete nonsense.
Seniors will have to abide by the same rationing as in place now (2 eggs, 2 milk, 2 tp, etc), they’ll just be able to shop without the profiteer buyers and snowflake clue-less hysteria that have overtaken the stores.
Most of all, I like the message it sends: Seniors are important in our society and we need to look out for them instead of pushing them out of the way.
I support senior hours 100%
All those free school lunches.
