Right, if for no other reason than the government would love to be able to pay back the national debt with inflated paper.
I just bought tires too :)
Just as one example regarding one food item. A 24-oz. pack of bacon in my area ran around $5.98 six months or so ago. That same size pack (depending on the brand) now sells for anywhere from $9.98 to $11:98.
Glad now that I always tend to buy a little more than needed, whether it be of bacon, canned tuna, rice, etc. Doesn’t take long to build up into an adequate supply for hard times. There’s still time — although not much — to do that. Better early than late, but also “better late than never”.
Just in Walmart, no carts to ship with which was fine bc they didn’t have half what I was looking for, rest of shelves were bare looking. Local grocery seems fine though
It appears that we’re headed into a Perfect Storm.
Yeah I was like, seriously. 😞

If you don't mind me asking: how so?
Went to buy Diet Coke at Walmart. Still none in 6 pack bottles and still no Distilled water.
they did have a 12 diet coke pack in cans at $6. next time probably $7
Well, it makes sense to stock up a bit yes. But hoarding is likely to be counterproductive. There are people out there who still have their lifetime supply of toilet paper from a year and a half ago. Lots of money tied up in nothing. Meanwhile, stores I go to have whole aisles for toilet tissue, paper towels, etc, stacked to the ceiling. Likewise with beef, chicken, whatever other “scarce” goods I should jam my freezer with.
That is a tautological truth, indeed. But that sociological/socioeconomic bubble could be easily popped yet this administration is totally rudderless and inane. I just read that our maternity-leave transportation secretary claim it is a sign of a booming economy.
Basically there are 2 things absolutely necessary to live, food and water. Yet even in these times people refuse to stock it to the rafters, if at all. And a lot of them have young children to care for. Bizarre.

Ha!!
And people think I am silly for stocking up on oatmeal, pancake mixes, flour, sugar, canned beans, tomatoes, soups, and the potatoes, too. Oh, lots of cans of pureed pumpkin, too.
Food riots soon?
A lot of stores have bare shelves now.
You’re right of course.
Overkill is always counterproductive.
Sometimes I wonder if the media does this to create crises.
Yup.
He wants to sell you some gold.
I'm still waiting for the 2010 collapse he predicted.
“I-5, railroad, ships, or all?”
It was going to be comprehensive is all I gathered. I was on my way out the door and my informant said “oh by the way...”
I just tried to buy 4 new 16" tires for my truck. The tire store didn't have any. He said he could order some for me but couldn't tell me when they would come in or how much they would cost until they arrived.
