Don't listen to the haters.
Non-preppers are scared and feel dumb right now for mocking preppers.

Yeah supply chain keeps running. Preppers don't need to get into their stash, except maybe for some paper goods like TP. Who wants to eat that gross canned food anyway when fresh food is still available. Perhaps preppers are acting like they need to use their stock to justify it, and before it expires.

I've just been eating normally and grocery shopping once a week on off hours, and getting some takeout. Canned goods are the last resort.

Right wing magisterium trying to show they were right.....yawn.

I haven’t prepped, haven’t stood in line, not experiencing any shortage.

I bet if I were interested enough I could go find lots of you Permanent Panic Buyers saying it’s just the media whipping up fear. But now so proud you’re ready to survive this disaster.

So they clean their guns, count their ammo, and keep stocking a pantry that is overflowing, all while preaching doom and gloom.


Who's preaching doom and gloom?

Do you have a fire extinguisher?

Are you hoping for a fire?

Are you preaching "FIRE!!" from the mountaintops?

Are you frustrated that you haven't had a fire yet?

How often do I think about my fire extinguisher? How much time do I devote to my fire extinguisher?

See the difference?

Not really a prepper, haven't been in any lines yet. Grocery store was pretty normal last time I went on Sunday which is when I do my normal shopping aside from some minor inconveniences.

It's a busy store so if I get there later in the day than normal it's pretty common for the eggs and milk to be sold out. Bread selection was limited but they had bread, including the one I usually get. There was no toilet paper but I won't have a problem there for several weeks. Even then it's not like there aren't alternatives. I have plenty of newspaper, just means more trips taking the garbage out. Hell, if I get desperate there's this thing called rags that you can use and a bucket with a lead. I'm really not looking forward to that but it's not the end of the world. Pretty sure it won't get there. By the time I run out of TP all the people hording it will already have horded a stash and it will be back in stock.
