You were going to see chaos like you’ve never seen before. If they actually follow through with it. The initial plan was just to strike and sit out. They’re not gonna do that. They’re just not going to deliver the liberal cities scattered throughout America. Starve the liberals out. They will go absolutely nuts when they go to their local stores and the shelves are completely empty.

I hope it hasn't come to that, but you never know. What I do know is that NYC runs out of food in something like 2 days if the trucks stop running.


I have a large pantry and money in my pocket that's currently still worth something. Given the events of the last 18 months, the news we hear every day, and what I'm experiencing in my own job vis-a-vis supply chain issues, it seems prudent to start laying back supplies ahead of winter. If the lefties on this board think me foolish, so be it. I'll be happy if I'm wrong and don't need the extra supplies. Conversely if I'm right, it won't bother me to know they're stuggling.

No, just used here in the US.

This pandemic shut the whole world down for well over a year. Factories were empty so nothing was produced. It's affected every country's economy. They are now trying to catch up but it's going to take awhile. It's not Biden's fault nor would it be Trump's fault if he were president.

Hmm, somehow I managed to live through the pandemic with my 3 other household members without buying toilet paper once. I didn’t need to hoard it. Was able to buy a few rolls when needed. Didn’t have to borrow from a neighbor or steal from a public restroom. Amazing.

As for food, I have emergency food supply that’s good for like 15 years and can last up to 6 months. I figured it was a worthwhile investment because I have no desire to wait in a bread line with the unstable general public if something really bad happened to our supply chain. I did this for the same reason I have homeowners insurance.

People that are willing to work are being banned from working because of their personal health choices.

It's already starting with shortages and much higher inflation than expected and the FED now admitting it won't be just transitory.

Last year I was the sad sap listening to the experts saying not to stock up. Wiping my ass with leaves won't happen to me this year. I am buying items and stocking up like crazy. 1 item limits everywhere, so buying what is available one at a time from multiple stores each and every day. I am going to stock up to the roof.

We are tough, we have ingenuity, we are not wimps. Pull it together.

Well that wasn't contrived at all.

Love the Bidenite take here, "buck up Trumpers!"

Yeah, no. Ya better worry more about your own set, who tend to riot and burn when they don't get their way.

Maybe we need some entrepreneurs to start manufacturing stuff here in the US again so we are not so dependent on other countries for our goods.

Or maybe some strong young people could apply for jobs at the docks to unload all the cargo.
Thanks to Joe bro he pays peeps to stay home. Gonna get much worse long term as prices go up 30% or more for everything.
