>>Hopefully things will settle down after a few months. History says otherwise, but perhaps. In the last 5000 years this is the only time its considered abnormal to store food. Well except for a number of people that all starved to death.<<
Post WWII, that model isn’t in play. If we were serfs and the King owned the land and we worked it, that would make sense. But we aren’t, he isn’t, and we don’t.
The modern distribution model is what we depend upon. The idea that it is is even a possibility that we could fall back to that model would mean a dismantling of the USA and the modern world.

You’re right its not the same model. Our model is even more fragile. Supermarkets have 3 days of food at most. Everything else is trucked, flown, or shipped in.
When those trucks, ships, planes stop then so does the food.
I’ve seen it first hand when hurricanes were coming. The shelves are bare after 1 day and people start to panic.
