Our prepping did not cause the economy to crash. Gradually prepping in advance, over time, allows the supply chain to handle the extra buying.
I prep every fall for winter. Those in hurricane country, prep every spring for hurricane season. The economy has never crashed as the result of carefully planned, well thought out prepping.
The economy crashing is by people panic buying, as those who did NOT prep are doing now or those who wait until the hurricane or snowstorm is bearing down on them.
Go foist your blame on those who deserve it and I am not accepting it.
The economy tanked when every sports and entertainment venue announced they were shutting things down. People took that serious.
Luckily, some of us were out of their way as they ravaged the TP aisles.
I saw those big women fighting over TP. I’ve seen the way some big women look little thin guys like me up and down. Note to self: never get a barcode tattoo. I am nacho little covid quarantine cuddle companion.
Having a full pantry helps in not having to shop before $$$$ property tax is due.
