“What I’ve read is that the nutritional content does unavoidably decline over time, but the dry, cool, clean rice is still perfectly edible, and you can make up the deficit with other food items or vitamin supplements you’ve stockpiled.”

Thanks, that’s what I figure...and perhaps I will cough up another $100 and replace my old bags - it’s beginning to be tempting, while I still can!

Did another Winco run tonight.

Tonight they were out of pinto beans (25 lb. bags) and the 6 gallon food storage bucket were all gone.

Everything else was fairly normal.

Italian oil and gas contractor Saipem has confirmed that more than 2,000 staff are working from home due to the coronavirus.

Around 2,196 employees, many whom are based in the firm’s headquarters in Milan, are under what Saipem called “smart working”.

My late wife, from India, did many times. As I said in a comment just a minute ago, nutritional content declines, but not obvious from taste or texture. And she was quite knowledgeable about Asian foodstuffs, having owned an Indian grocery store years ago. Her death was nothing to do with food!

Notice how we are getting NO “field reports” from Wuhan. Not a speck of first hand accounting.

That is phenomenally tight control in a modern world.

“She hadn’t hear anything about supply chain or that stuff ‘made in china’ would be an issue.”

My coworker, who is in his 60s is married to a pharmacist of about the same age. He had no idea that the Chinese control our drug supply. But what was really scary is that neither did his pharmacist wife. I told him to look at a medication and see if it says where it was made...it doesn’t, none do. They carved out an exception to labeling requirements because ‘people would become upset’ if they knew that virtually all our drugs come from China.

...now they’ll find out, finally.

Second, on intuition derived from a particular view of the world. With regard to this topic, I rely on the certainty that the deep state will use any crisis to further their own, ultimately low IQ agenda.

The sources you list are variably, though consistently, unreliable.
————-

So first, I listed sources as unreliable. And you say they are unreliable. You didn’t even read the post.

And then you talk about this being some deep state crisis?

The shit I would read on the Q thread.

I often wonder why everyone is so focused on proving China did this intentionally or whether it’s a bio weapon, or it’s a deep state conspiracy. If this is going to shut down the world economy, or if it’s going to make millions sick there is nothing to be gained by pointing a finger, coughing up a lung, and dropping dead in the street.

But really Deep State Conspiracy? For what purpose. And then what will you do with the information?

Any mention of caution regarding sending all our pharma manufacturing to china was met with ‘racist’ from freepers even 10 years ago.

Seriously...that’s insane.

There were a pair of posters who harped on the ‘necessity’ of outsourcing it and any hint you didn’t think it was a great idea was met with being labeled a racist and wanting granny to eat catfood because her meds were so spendy. ie, ‘why do you hate asians and poor old people!?’

Deep state hopes to tank the economy with coronavirus fears. It’s their last shot to stop Trump. Ain’t gonna happen.

Partner, why do the DemonRats have a pandemic every 2 years when we have an election???

Also, we have had a lot more folks die here in the U.S.A. from the Flu and about 30 million have had the flu in the U.S. I think they said the number of folks that are dead is around 30,000 folks and it is a lot of people that died from the flu.

Figures...probably had some ‘special interest’. I’ve noticed that pattern in people who are arrogant, defensive, and making illogical arguments. Often they’ll either give themselves away, or their posting history will give them away.

No, you suggested I would use them as reliable so I merely indicated to you I was agreeing with your implication.

Deep state wants Trump out. They think tanking the economy is the best way to do it.

Their religion, and Freepers know this as well as any, includes communist-derived ideas like using a crisis to get power.
