We have a friend who owns a grocery store, he says the stores only have 2 weeks worth of merchandise they depend on truck deliveries in order to restock, once the two weeks worth is gone its gone.
When we have a snow storm warning the shelves in the grcery stores here empty out quickly the only reason you think your stores are in great shape is because they are receiving truck deliveries regularly.

Correct. And most of the restocking effort is unnoticed because it happens at night when the store is closed.

HR2749/S.510 could cause what you prep for. I pray daily that the “lame ducks” will not pass this crap.

If they do, we must repeal it, even if it is over the veto of the Resident.

The sky is not falling yet. We could have a financial collapse, engineered by the Globalist B___ards who support Obozo. There is no reason that if that happens that things have to be that bad in Texas.

My family has farmed in Haskell County since the 1880’s. We have cattle, wheat storage, wild turkeys & hogs and can be totally self-sufficient if needed. That would not happen immediately. We have the ability to kill/process/package our own beef and game. (private butcher shop & smoking pit) We always have a garden & that may be larger this year, but still no panic.

I normally keep 50+ lbs. of flour, 15-20 lbs. of rice, and a fully pantry. That is not prepping, just what we normally do.

I sold “hard white winter wheat” to some of the Y2K crowd. They were really nice people and well educated, but they totally mis-calculated the outcome of that event.

The past does not predict the future, but I feel confident we will eat. And I have a lot of good neighbors.

By the way, we lived in Piedmont OK for 7 years and loved OK.

The people in TX and OK have a lot more in common than most will admit. (I am not a sports fan)

My daughter is an OU grad. (And not a leftie) She and her husband live in Hutto, TX.

Hang in there my FRiend.

And if there is a truck stike as back in the 70s those shelves are empty within a couple three days- you are right on track.
