I don't get it, but it is self perpetuating. I know we started buying more stuff when we started seeing the shelves getting empty. Not sure when

more stuff will be coming in (though we're fine on TP). But we did start buying staples and canned food and stuff beyond our normal consumption just because we were afraid we'd be the schmucks at the end that there was nothing left for.

Is it you’re worried about not being a schmuck or worried about not having to eat? If it really gets to that people will loot and it’s all over anyway -- nm - JackDawson Mar 15, 15:57 1
- I'm not really worried about not being able to eat. Just more that it may make things more complicated. The problem is none of us have experienced - pmb Mar 15, 16:18
