Empty shelves in American stores less than 100 days before the election
NOQ Report ^ | July 31, 2020 | Gary Gindler

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.

yes, and plain old-fashioned soap will do better than “hand sanitizers” anyway!

The shelves are just as empty now as they were during the beginning of this crap.

"The one thing I cannot find anywhere is rubbing alcohol."

Maybe the anarchists are using it for nefarious reasons. It's highly flammable.

Can anyone tell me why, other than demand, the price of used Apple computers seems to have at least doubled. Last fall I could buy an iMac 27” with all the trimmings for about $500 and now it is hard to find one less than $1,200 to $1,500.

there is a bit of reality in prepping....oil will not last forever....flour although still usable gets a funny taste after a couple of yrs...beans will become hard as rock over time....

buy things when on sale, use them....try to keep several months ahead....salt and sugar can last forever and hard liquor too....

we've finally used our stash of tuna and now we've got many dozens of cans of salmon to use up....

Plenty here in Tenn!

Good to know. I'm considering bugging out from Central FL to the Reelfoot Lake area of NW TN some time this year.

I haven't been able to find Kraft tartar sauce anywhere for months now. Empty shelf space everywhere I look.

With 40% water I couldn’t get it to combust. But if you get conditions just right it will.

Obtaining it before need is half the battle. storing it is the other half.

We have 2 kinds - “iron rations” stored in 30 year containers that won’t be fun but will keep us alive. Then there are the shorter term storage items that we eat anyway and rotate.

If you are shooting that much ammo, you are probably going to end up dead sooner or later as the odds are always in favor of the House.

At my Dollar General they had a 2 pallets at displayed at the front of the store, I never saw that before. Is it China trying to get some cash before the dam breaks?

That stuff’s poison. Mrs. Baldwin is totally addicted to Diet Pepsi (God help us if we run out), and I’d love figure out how to get her drinking something else, even regular soda. Maybe after the collapse of civilization.

No they’re not. Wal-Mart where I am can’t keep canned vegetables stocked. Shelves for paper towels are always empty. It going on 5 months now. They should have adjusted to demand by now.

"..If anyone can find “Caffeine Free Diet Dr. Pepper” anywhere, Mrs. Repeal would like to know.."

Saw plenty here in Lexington, NC at the Food lion on Cotton Grove Rd a few days ago. Both 2l and 6-packs. We drink it once inna while, but usually get Diet Root Beer and Diet Pepsi CF.

Good luck with your search.. d:^)

There was just a side discussion going over on the hurricane thread about the Three Gorges Dam and how close it is, or may be, to rupturing and what will happen when it blows..

The consensus was to stock up on as much food as you can because when people realize what’s going to happen to the world food supply, prices are going to go through the roof.

I learned that lesson during The Rapist’s administration.
