Many Americans are well aware that in their cities, the power belongs not just to leftists, not only to outspoken communists but also fanatics, ideological whackos with ideas of the world revolution. What will American citizens do? They, in fact, have already done, and have already decided this.
America has gorged its fill of decapitated and mutilated statues, looting and marauding left-wing barbarians, and demands the restoration of order. Democrats already seem to know who won this year’s election, and the pathetic attempt to revolutionize America is simply an instinctive collective reaction of leftism to its future loss. But what can act as a precise, objective measure of this loss?
Go to many stores in America, and you will see empty shelves. The situation is reminiscent of empty store shelves in the Soviet Union. Of course, this does not apply to clothe or food stores – the shelves there are packed to capacity as if nothing were happening.
In America, only gun shops have empty shelves.
Scarcity is a word practically unknown to the Americans, but well known to everyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain. Now there is a deficit in America too – supply does not keep pace with demand for firearms. In the first half of this year, weapons sales grew 80% compared to the first half of 2019, with about half of these purchases made by first-time buyers.
Most importantly, women have made a record number of gun purchases this year.

If the firefight lasts longer than two minutes, the probability of you becoming a casualty rapidly approaches 100%.
If you cannot quickly annihilate the target, break contact and MOVE!
Last bottle I saw at any store, was 32 oz 70 percent at Walmart, around Memorial Day.
Since then, I have continued to search at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and the hardware store. Nothing.
Unusual for our country that can produce many millions of gallons per day. I wonder, where does that go?
High acid foods do not do well in tin cans.
They can eat through the coating on the inside of the can and then eat the metal, in a process called detinning.
Acidic foods should be stored in glass or at worst, plastic.
I can’t find “Throwback” Mountain Dew containing cane sugar in cans or bottles.
You're gonna need a lot more than that.
In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye.
I’ve found canning lids almost everywhere.
Wegmans has them.
The local Mennonite store has them.
You may want to check out Tattler reusable canning jar lids.
I have some applesauce from 2011 that I used the lids on, and I wanted to see how long they would last.
Nine years and the applesauce is still good.
No surprise. Goya Preps now!
I work in a major big box home improvement store. Supply disruption is a real thing. Lots of empty shelf space.
A good point, but that ship sailed long ago.
Not in the box stores I am visiting. Target and Walmart have aisles and aisles of empty shelves.
I expect that the media won’t focus on that until we are closer to the election.
We don’t have Wegmans but we do have an Amish store which is where I buy a lot of stuff - like they had celery seed which another thing they don’t have in stores here. I never even thought of them for canning lids, I’ll have to try there.
Maybe worse even for local mom and pop operations. Local hardware 'everything' store, I asked them about canning lids, didn't have any and said they were having trouble getting pretty well everything they stock. I work in a small hospital, when this all started and we were trying to order masks and such, they would check our history and see we are small pickins and wouldn't even deal with us, they were saving all the supplies for the big hospitals who order things by the thousands.
That’s because it’s an ingredient in so many cleaning and sanitizing products.
First, the sanitizing wipes (made with alcohol) have to be made and restocked, and then we can have some rubbing alcohol in the stores. Until then, all the extra goes to the health care industry, or so I’ve read.
The whole situation is bizarre to me. A two-week panic four months ago and we still can’t buy a bottle of rubbing alcohol? In the USA in 2020? Something is rotten in Denmark. And pretty much everywhere else, the way it seems.
You’re in the wrong stores. Or, are you seeing incorrectly due to oxygen deprivation from too many hours of wearing a mask?
The stores around here are pretty much fully stocked now except for a few key items, like alcohol-based cleaning and sanitizing products.
The toilet paper aisle is at about 70% capacity, but there’s always plenty there, unlike the situation in April when that aisle was empty for a few weeks.
Hard liquor never lasted too long around my place...
Wheel weights of Pb are like finding quarters with silver content.
Canning supplies are hard to come by, also.
Make your own tartar sauce using the base which is mayonnaise. Experiment and you may find you like your own better.
You can also make your own mayonnaise if you want.
Well...I guess it’s off to wally world. I’ll admit, I haven’t stepped foot there since the madness.
