One should not expect others to stockpile for them anyway.
In an emergency, any central stockpile would be instantly depleted by hoarders anyway.
Stockpiling for one’s self and family in time of plenty is preparation, not hoarding.

“JIT” as we called it back in the late 80s and early 90s when I was involved in cost containment for a phone company, was used to reduce millions of dollars of inventory from being held over fiscal year thresholds and other accounting bogeys. Inventories cost money. Monitoring them and turning them over accurately in response to customer needs is a lot of work, but, I suspect, basic business-101 today.

JIT is a great thing in an economy that works. In one that suddenly stops working it will be a disaster. Those Zombie movies will become reality quickly.

“One impressive feature of this system is that it is run by computers and can actually forecast which products will be needed where and when.”

Gonna’ have to call BS on this one. My pants size is 34x34 and my shoe size is 11 1/2. These sizes are almost impossable to find at any given time on Long Island. PERIOD.
