Kroger Toilet Paper aisle.

I want to share with you some scenes that greeted me at my local Kroger today.
These are scenes from a panicked populace.
Like locusts, they are stripping the shelves bare.
Kroger Toilet Paper aisle.
Kroger Deli Meat aisle.
Kroger bottled water aisle.
That's the negative view. There is also a positive view, one such positive is that the EBT will still flow, for the electricity and water will likely still flow, and the government will *MAKE SURE* EBT cards are operational. Therefore, the likelihood of urban explosion is lesser.
Still, be careful, have situational awareness, and be ready. I am. Freepers, we knew about this 5 or 6 weeks before the general public, and that gave us a head start on getting set up. About the only thing I missed was masks, and I just caught up on those too.
It’s like that here in PA too.
Welcome to Venezuela....
It’s crazy.
Hysteria. It’s like a snowball. Even if people aren’t worried they know everyone else will buy up everything so they have to buy now also.
Oh no!!! Much like a tree cut down, those shelves will never be stocked again!
You are going to die.
Yes, yes. Red-blooded American paranoiacs cowering in fear, pissing their pants. The same breed of people who won independence from a country with a vastly superior military, sent men to the Moon, won 2 world wars.
What a legacy. Scared shitless over fever and chills.
On the plus side, this gives folks a glimpse of what a store in a socialist country looks like on a normal day.
Ditto in MI. I figure it will take 4-6 weeks before normalcy returns.
I’ve got 45 pounds of kidney beans coming in next week which will about do it for me. My estranged wife was complaining about the lines she encountered when she was trying to stock up yesterday. Other than the order of beans arriving, I wrapped it up almost three weeks ago.
On the whole feeling a good deal more confident about the thing as details unfold, but it still looks like we’re in for quite the ride.
Thank goodness they left the straws and pickles.
Evidently, coke addicts and pregnant women aren’t affected.
“WE DIDN’T LISTEN!!!!”
Exactly! I have been a rookie prepper for years. I think it is time to raise the bar on my prepping efforts.

We live in a fairly civilized, Republican area. Everyone has a gun and a dog, so no crime. A lot of people didn’t prep and are just catching up. My wife and I bought something everyday, but didn’t go crazy.
This morning stores were busy, but people were polite and tolerant of each other. I see people pulling together.
Add me! Add me!

Laz I was just thinking about that graphic yesterday! An oldie but a goodie. Thanks for posting, hope you are feeling better.
Well, at least there are still some plastic straws left.....
Until Gavin Newsom or Bill De Basio find out about them.
Calgary looks the same way. Welcom to the new reality: 1960s at the GUM Department Store in Moscow.
Commies pulled out all the stops to ‘Git Trump’. They’ll fail.
