Do you realize how old and tired this tin foil nonsense is, and how juvenile this makes people sound who use it?
I think the OP was just commenting on his observation of "unusual activity" as opposed to "usual". And probably just checking to see if anyone else had noticed any similar unusual activity.
Of course, these are the things that separate sentient beings from the rest of living things, like house plants, that don't do a lot of thinking. And, given the current state of world affairs, which seem to be imploding on a daily basis, why would anyone consider a increased state of conscious alertness to be such a strange thing?
As we hear of bank holidays and financial meltdowns .... potential stock market crashes and endless talk of more war ... warship standoffs in the Persian Gulf and US Ambassadors being murdered ... upcoming elections and October Surprises ... I just think alertness makes a person seem a little more in touch with reality than tweeting and texting and struggling with the decision about which shade of nail polish matches today's outfit.
But that's just me, I guess.
I agree. Very superficial and immature. High School students appear to practice more critical thinking skills.
Certainly not worth contributing to a discussion over and over imo.
Are your 'musings' what passes for maturity, according to you mature standards? I would think a mature person would have flagged down the manager, asked their question, and gone on about their day. Stupid is how I would characterize the premise of this entire thread, which is a poster checking with random anonymous people on the Internet what they may think about some irrelevant thing that happened during the course of their day, to see if there is some conspiracy-type shenanigans afoot.
Now were bringing 'Russia' (it was the USSR in the 50s, btw) into this topic. And someone dared mock the poster who quipped about the tin foil shortage.
The Russians who may come across some of these posts must find them quite hilarious. So long as they are 'mature' though, right?
Since you don't like "boomers" you must be quite a bit younger than they are and you are disagreeing with old men who reason from experience and then making fun of one who mentions the 1950s. I started college in 1950 and think there is a chance that I know more about that than you do just from experience. I well remember that Lenin, my God going further back, said that the way to destroy a capitalistic society would always be to inflate their currency to the point where it became worthless. Do you know anything more inflationary going on now than the constant printing of zero backed currency. Lenin must be laughing his butt off down there in hallowed Communist ground at what he and his have accomplished with us.
It's fearful prophecy which most always makes any crisis worse.
They're coming to get you! Boo!
You didn't see the mention of a man from obviously eastern Europe in that post or did you manage to try to cover it up with this deflection. Anybody who lived through what happened in the 40s and 50s in Europe can see just what Taratova suggested going on in the US right now. Open the eyes and maybe you can see it too.
Funny how some people find it easier to believe a conspiracy theory than something as straight forward and logical as stores are making room for holiday merchandise and/or its just the normal flex of seasonal stuff that people like to stock up on for the coming winter. Paranoia is running high in this country.

No paranoia, just being wise. We here in NJ don't stock up. We don't have to . We have grocery stores galore here . Three in one mile area in my neighborhood. We don't have to drive miles so we don't stock up.

Wise?
CHRISTMAS is coming. When you shop at Christmas, do you notice how many of the major brands have labels especially for Christmas? Santa Claus on the Coke bottles. Oreo cookies with Christmas wreaths on the label. MM's and the many other candy manufacturers that have special flavors and labels just for Christmas. The specialty candy, and cakes that come out just for the holidays. The stuffing mixes and spice cake mixes. The big displays. It's not a conspiracy. It's the holidays. All that stuff starts getting delivered in late September into October. And they have to put that stuff somewhere. It doesn't fit in their regular storage areas. So they stack the shelves higher than normal. On Halloween, they'll start moving the Halloween merchandise and displays out of the way, putting whatever they have left in clearance. And they'll start putting out the Christmas merchandise. Which groceries, like any retailer, have much of.
