In third world socialist nations like the US preparing = hoarding.

[ferret_airlift]

Never had it growing, up though we were dirt poor. We very much lived on game, rabbits and deer especially. That included snagging the fresh roadkill, which had the advantage of being pre-grilled.

[Daffynition]

It sure is! We are fortunate to have a good supply, if needed.....wild turkey and bayah.

**Suburban ordinances**.....no such thing up here.....no zoning laws; you might be surprised how free it is in Vermont. Where we are, Nobody, and I mean nobody cares what you do on your property.

Intelligence and knowledge is also being hoarded, but by Christian Conservatives, while knowledge and intelligence is in short supply on the left.

[cuban leaf]

Yeah, but I always what I really mean is ever since I bothered to actually check the price. And that wasn’t until the ‘80s. I’ve always seen it as probably a low-cost alternative. But then when I actually priced it I went who the heck pays this much for this kind of meat? I certainly don’t. 😆

[Pollard]

But there’s plenty of food. There just isn’t always enough processing and transportation capacity to meet rising demand as the economy revs up.

Utter bullshit. If they managed under the Trump economy, they should have no problem with the limp biden/covid economy.

"We almost certainly will be faced with a global shortage of CO2..."

Does that strike anybody else as absolutely hilarious? The most poisonous gas on earth that is going to wipe out mankind by turning the earth into a cinder is in short supply! LOLOL.

Mayor Pete adopted 2 children. One wasn’t enough to start with.

> In Denver, broken parts at the milk supplier’s plant affected shipments...

I try not to be one of “those people”, but, affected?

[Sacajaweau]

I’m in Upstate NY. My daughter and hubby just got back from Ma with coolers full of fish...and I got mine!!

[Sacajaweau]

last year 6 gal was $14. This year 6 gal is $20.

Thanks Mr. Biden.

That’s why I haven’t eaten spam in decades.

You don't eat spam now. You save it for a time you will be grateful to have it.

FJB: “What’s the plan?”

Dr. Evil: “First it’s $12/Lb bacon, then sliced ham will disappear, then we take their ice cream, soda and chicken! Then their coffee and diapers! Next their Fish Sticks and pot pies! followed by Rice Krispie Treats and finally their toilet paper! Damn the working poor!”

FJB: “Like witchraft! Excellent! Damn the working poor indeed.”

Import the third word and become the third world.

Bunkers are always in a handy spot saves walking time.

[Lurker]

First “they” told us 3 days was the minimum to be prepared for disasters. So when some of us took that to heart they turn around and call us “hoarders”.

The only way to win this stupid game is to not play.

And I’m done playin’.

Just sayin’.

...but, affected?

I don't see the problem.
