Take it for what it's worth, but if you know me I have been around since before Voat - same name. I am pretty low key I think but judge for yourself.
Anyhoo, my husband got a call from his brother, former Commander in the Navy. He is hearing that things are going to get a little crazy in around four weeks and that people should have four weeks of food and water just in case. Be able to sterilize water too. Something to do with panicking deep staters trying to block ports and food supply. This brother is really smart - many engineering patents to his name in his post military civilian career. Retired now but was literally considered intellectual property when his company was bought and sold, etc. The regular Joe brothers tend to think he's a right wing nut, and he is absolutely right wing but so am I so that doesn't really dissuade me. Not gonna lie sometimes I think he's a little out there. But he still has friends in high places and he knows people think he's nuts but feels it's important to share. Thought I should too and let people do what they want. His point is if you spend $600 to stock up and nothing happens, you still have $600 worth of food and water. If you don't and you end up really needing it....you don't.
Me and my wife have noticed that the shelves have been a lot more bare here in CO that’s for sure.
We noticed that too!
Not just bare shelves but the produce that is available is old and rotting ON THE SHELVES!
Holy sh*t I’m glad you said this, all of the fruit we get from Walmart last about 2-3 days before it starts to rot, my wife has noticed this for weeks but I’m just now starting to notice as well.
I thought our fridge was going bad or something. I started to notice this about a month ago. We get food delivery once in a while and I've had to request a refund on every batch of bell peppers I've ordered (I'll estimate about 4 orders) because they come wrinkly and moldy.
