Preach it!
Great post
I am with you... If nothing serious develops, we will have some extra supplies, no big deal.
If something wicked truly hits our country and the masses rush to the stores for supplies-it will be too late.
but not for the peeps who prepped.
Stay safe!
lmao.
Sounds like you’re already talking to the walls.
I know, I know... I’ll be standing in line for rice and car parts.
Just turn on the TV and you’ll feel better. Every channel is running pro “coronavirus is destroying the world and Trump is letting it happen” programming 24x7. Why repeat the nonsense here?
Thank you for being the voice of reason here.
I hope the people who are mocking preparations don’t have children or elderly parents depending on them.
“I am done with these people. I can’t handle The Stupid anymore. I have a month of food and I’m good for a shelter in place in case we can’t contain it. If the dummies want to risk not doing the same, they can. Cost me a few hundred bucks and I’ll eat it later if nothing comes of this at all. Taking cheap and simple precautions are the opposite of Panic. Panic is when The Stupid find out they were wrong and run out of their medications and other essentials ... if things go sideways (much to their dismay). Panic comes from a lack of planning, prudence and frankly... intelligence.”
Sums it up for me really well. I see no point to argue against people who are unable to even understand what it means when a country that produces something like 40% of the world’s exports shuts down for a month (and likely takes close to a year to get back to ‘normal’ again*). So I don’t even bother feeding the ‘just the flu’ types here anymore. It’s hopeless for them, and as my tag line says, they can explain their lack of preparation to their families - I won’t have that problem. I now have spare parts and/or backups for virtually everything I own, along with plenty of food and water purification capability.
*I grew up in the days of labor strikes, and one of the things that I remember was when they ended, it was like nothing even happened - the next day everyone was back at work and the lines were humming. There will no ‘next day’ here - it will be months, at a minimum, with lots of key people in China either dead or unable to work full-time. Enjoy our last days of ‘normalcy’, possibly for a very long time.
