So a while back I saw many many comments here from people saying they had let their preps get low and they were having problems finding things in stores due to "hoarding" from the general public in the face of the corona virus. Its been a while now, things have mostly gotten back on the shelves and I bet many of you have fell right back into the complacent pre corona selves you were before all this happened. We went out and bought stuff to top things off ourselves. We had plenty of what we needed but who knew where things might have went with this and I always say better safe than sorry. We stocked up on just enough random stuff that we buy regularly anyway and made sure we could use most of it before it expires. If we ever get close on dates I always find some poor sole, usually an old person around here and give it to them.
So anyway in light of the last big run on goods I thought some of you might consider starting now and checking on your stock and then every month or so leading up to the next election I think its a great idea to revisit the shelves and restock any holes that have been created. This last time was a very rude awakening for the general public and if "they" decide to scare us with another round of corona shelter in place orders I can bet that the general public will be out in full force grabbing from each other and it will possibly be a bad situation.
I know people who laughed at the hoarding that was going on. I asked one of them, a family member if they had everything they needed. They said I am not going to act like that we have plenty. About two weeks later he said he was out of toilet paper and could not find any anywhere in town, lol. I said guess maybe you should have realized that was gonna happen when all the "hoarding" was going on. He did not want to admit he was wrong but I am pretty sure he has a few extras now. I gave him a 8 pack of some cheap toilet paper just to help them along and said I suggest you save you paper towels and klenex for your rear end and use wash rags or something as napkins and klenex.
Either way you all know the last round surly woke some people up. If things get crazy again and if they ramp it up over the election in an effort to sway things people are gonna go bat poop crazy this time around.
