Lots of people think they are loony. 

More and more are thinking they are the smart ones.

I dont understand the stocking up of food.  Can you stock up enough to survive forever on? Wont it just prolong whatever?  What are you going to do when you run out of stock pile? 

i understand doing the gardening and canning and switching over to your own beef and food in general.

 

I just didn't get the whole toilet paper thing.  and I have noticed that the shelves at grocery stores are not full like they used to be before the virus. 

 

Please dont take it that Im being sarcastic please explain the reasoning of stocking up and how much you should?

What is being said and who is it coming from?

You just answered your own question. Because the shelves are not stocked like they have been before the pandemic and the BLM destruction of neighborhood grocery stores and convenience stores. There are certain foods that my husband can eat with no problem with his UC, so I stock up a little so that if those foods are only sporadically replenished on the shelves, I will have some at home until they are. Wish I had stockpiled some disinfect wipes and Lysol spray.  but I didn't and where I live I can't find them in the stores. I am not a prepper, but I do stock up on some stuff. Not for ever but just for a few weeks/month.

I stocked up in January. I was concerned about the flu and didn't want to have to get around people then COVID hit. If Trump doesn't get re elected I am seriously thinking about moving to Costa Rico. I have even checked into the cost of FEDEXing a horse. I am not living in conditions like they have on the West coast. I lived In Nigeria for a year and a half. Not living like that again. Here is what it was like. If you ever found something in the grocery store that you liked, you better buy all of it because you would probably never see it again. One store got two cans of Fritos. (Fritos came in can like Planters cheese balls). I bought both. When I was checking out, the manager was standing there. I asking him when they would get more in. He said the next day. I asked him what time. He said 10 o'clock. Well, the truck was on time which was amazing in itself. There was one case. I bought the whole case. Twelve cans were $45. I had the only Fritos in Warri Nigeria!  Since we had no TV, no phone, no radio, someone had a gathering at their house every night. People would come beg for Fritos and I would let them have a double handful. Stuff was like that all the time. Sometimes we went days without water. Sometimes we went days without electricity. I'm not living like that again. A lot of times we had to go jump in the pool at the country club for a bath.

Wow, hadn't even thought about that although I'm certainly aware of things not being stocked at the grocery store like it used to be.  No doubt that there's something going seriously wrong in this country when looters and rioters run rampant and instead of beefing up law enforcement they're defunding and laying off.  A very decent man in Portland told a reporter these people destroying their city are "not from here."  He said they're being put up in hotels and seem to be well funded.

If I had my guess George Soros is finding a major part of this and I am sure each person is well paid. Soros is worth $18 billion. This isn't a have versus the have nots statement because I really don't care how much the guy has. I think they target areas where there are a lot of worthless unemployed thugs, recruit them and haul them into any area where they want to cause turmoil.  These people already have police records and have been let out so they have no fear to the law.

The best thing for all of us is if they defund the police.

The only thing keeping the good people from eliminating the bad people are the police.

The libs and the bad people better watch out for what they wish for.

They are not going to like how it ends.

 The conservatives now how to use tools and which bathroom to use.

I would be more worried bout stocking up on guns and ammo and have a small army around ya!  Im blessed to be in a family of hunters! The whole family does have a plan is things goes really bad! 

I have told my hunters what to do with the horses and dogs if anything happens bc I do not want them to suffer!

Praying that it does not get as bad as I know it can be!
