I apologize for the Vox link, but this was too good to pass up:
Well, that kinda depends on what you mean by “country”, doesn’t it? In fact, where you live, there might conceivably be a short-term stock outage of something — of something you actually need immediately, like salt or… toilet paper.
And “where you live” is the important part of the above. It’s small comfort, when your local stores are all out of infant formula, to know that in North Dakota, Maine and Idaho, infants are well-fed and healthy while yours is starting to look like a Somali baby, and you’re starting to look at large-breasted women not with lust, but as a food source for your kids.
As for the “two to three weeks’ supply of food” canard; oy vey. Two or three months is more like it (as all my Readers know full well by now), and fuck them and their “hoarding” — which is really just a euphemism for “someone’s got something that I don’t have, and I want the Gummint to take it away from them and give it to meeeee”.
Preparing for disaster is not hoarding, it’s prudence. Of course, the Left is devoid of that quality because Marxism, deconstruction and envy. Which brings us back to the Marxist tools at Vox. The rest of the article is equally stupid, but unintentionally hilarious.
When did the ant (of the ant and grasshopper fable) become the bad guy???
When the grasshopper got elected to public office.
…by other grasshoppers.
Last week I was in my local Costco and they had received their restock of TP . I stopped counting at 50 Pallets. Plus another 30+ pallets of paper towels. & all the freezer cases were overflowing. I think their auto re-order system needs some more lines of code.
“The Country is not about to run out of food”.
Probably not. But with farmers having produce rotting in the fields for lack of workers, Dairy farmers having product spoiling because their regular supply chains can’t handle it, and food processing plants shutting down due to workers catching the CHICOM Flu, it could get a little sporty in some parts.
Sounds like another Urban Wanker with no clue how the food chain works. (Other than their unfounded assumption that they are at the top of it).
Hoarder; term used by those that fail to prepare for those that do.
Note that they published this March 30. Most places were already shelter in place for two weeks at that point, and if you had to go out at week 3 for more food, you were going out at the purported peak.
These people actually want a mass die off, and will tell any lie to get it. This is the big IQ test — don’t fail it.
