I'm in rural Ohio, I see empty sections on the shelves but I believe, in my area, it is just people hoarding. Example - in the soda aisle, plenty of coke, no Barq's root beer in the appropriate section. No Grape Crush, but plenty of Orange. So, I think some prepper-pothead-moms are probably getting ahead of the curve and grabbing their favorite things in large quantity. Something else disappearing early - canned pumpkin (of course), and other baking necessities (choc chips, raw nuts, etc.) So, to avoid a disappointing baking season, if you see it, get it now.
Edit - the above was just a food report - in home improvement news, lots of the chinese-made tools and tool sets (hand tools and power tools) are not getting restocked these days.
This may be a toilet paper situation.
They conflate the issue, and make people panic buy things.
Which would destroy the economy and make it look like there is a shortage, when there isn't.
REMEMBER THE TOILET PAPER "SHORTAGE"
It might have been a test run of their bigger plans.
Sure do, 2020 started out with a run on TP and ended up in the crapper... 🤢
The chance of the TP shortage being a test = very high.
My thought exactly. Same thing just happened with fuel in the uk
Sure do. By carefully timing trips to the store with expected shipment arrival times, I gradually accumulated a 2-year supply.
No mo shortage

on this episode of hoarders…
On this episode of people not wiping their ass with newspaper, although it would be fitting...
It would be cool to have an episode of hoarders where it was a prepper house with wall to wall beams bullets and TP
