Mad rush to buy Guns and ammo, hell, people are trying not to die, not rampaging through neighborhoods Toilet paper, trust me, its being made faster than it can be used Water, afraid the city is going to turn it off? Gasoline, world wide surplus of the stuff, price going through the floor. Don't make sense to me, maybe I'm missing something

And now it's taters. None to be found around here. I reckon they're gonna wipe their azzes with them.

Let’s face it, everybody feels better with a gun. When the sheep realize government can’t really protect them, from anything, they want a gun. Only one out of the ones listed that makes sense to me.

When panic hits logic goes out the window. When in danger or in doubt run in circles scream and shout (or buy cart loads of toilet paper)

Most of us with a few brain cells to rub together have enough intelligence to resist the brainwashing efforts of the media and the politicians. Sadly, the vast majority of the sheeple don't have that capability. I'm waiting for the lemming stampede into the oceans by the desperate hordes from both coasts to begin. "Any Day Now"! Jerry

It's almost Palovian. Mention "crisis" and people react as though it always means post-hurricane-like conditions. And just as they do for hurricanes, people panic buy water, batteries, fresh and storable foods - and guns.
Toilet paper is harder to grasp. But I attribute it to simple mob psychology coupled with today's social media: one person says he's stocking up on something, and suddenly everybody thinks they have to stock up on it, too. No rhyme nor reason, just human idiocy.

All I know is I couldn't find any TP last week when I started to run low. Was lucky enough to find some on Amazon for regular price. All that was left were 4 packs of regular and 80 packs of the stuff they use in the porta johns...probably didn't need 80 rolls of TP, but it was $.63 a roll. Was on the last roll when it got here yesterday...never been so happy to see an Amazon box.

So true Jim. There are people that deep-down they have been dreaming of something like this is happening. They have lived in perpetual fear and now they have the beast in sight.

Of all the essential needs in life, toilet paper is somewhere in the lower half of the first hundred.

What's with all the freezers being gone? My lagering chamber puked out last week, now I'm stuck brewing ales and maybe an Anchor Steam clone.

I happened ro be at a north Alabama Walmart when the panic buying was just beginning. In this area, poeple usually reserve that type of feverish buying for predicted snow accumulations of an inch or more. The poor guy who was trying to keep the shelves stocked in the meat department (and losing) commented "This is like a snowstorm on steroids!" I saw more than one shopping cart filled to overflowing with freah meat, and several people with EBT and SNAP cards pooling their buying power to "pay" for them. "Your tax dollars at work!" Jerry

and of all the things to be "panic" bought first, it was the TP. I don't get it. And I dang sure can think of many things that I'd buy first, even if I thought the moment was coming for SHTF...
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

People are hoarding frozen food so they need another freezer.

Tim, have you peeked at the frozen food aisle? Not a pizza, TV dinner, or ice cream bucket left.
Hence, the sudden appearance of freezer envy.

On the other hand, I'll bet I can buy all the food dehydrators I want. The fresh fruits and vegetables are stocked to overflowing, and dried and vacuum-packed stuff keeps for months without refrigeration! Jerry

Old people have to eat a gallon of ice cream every 3 days.
Life sustaining, apparently.
