True, and at least you prepared best you could. Filling your car’s tank was a good start. Maybe heading to a war surplus store to get metal gas cans would survive some pretty heavy damage. From what I’ve been reading there are people who are mad at those that prepared and demand they help those that didn’t. Family comes first.

People were more than happy to share at first, because they figured after a few days the local governments would have their acts together.

And some people are frustrated - for example, my local grocery store arbitrarily decided at 1pm or so on Saturday that they would limit sales of water, canned goods, etc. per customer.

So people were on line waiting patiently with carts full of groceries and were told that the cashiers would only ring up a small percentage of what they had in their carts, while they watched other people cramming their cars full of goods outside the store.

It's hard to say that the person who got to the register at 12:59 was truly a wise ant and that the person two places behind them in line was a foolish grasshopper.

In many cases it was luck of the draw.

BTW, my wife laughed when I bought pounds of jerky. Not too many uncanned proteins last very long.

“there are people who are mad at those that prepared and demand they help those that didn’t.”

FRiend, that is the essence of Socialism. And if their demands turn to physical violence, that is Communism.
