Panic buying is a very real thing (that many consider a symptom of capitalism) and damaging to our society as it usually means the lower class, elderly people and other marginalized groups of people are left with almost nothing at stores. Part of the reason people panic buy is that they aren't prepared at home and get scared and see other people buying stuff so it just ends up being this stupid cycle of buying hundreds of dollars of shit.
The worst thing is that most people just buy shit that will never do them any good in an actual SHTF scenario. Why the fuck are they buying eggs, meat, bread, milk and paper towels and toilet paper?? That food will go bad if there's no electricity and then you're SOL. Or crackers and candy and soda and huge packs of water bottles....wtf.
People are grossly unprepared and just end up hurting each other. The world is stupid. -
Of course I have stocked up more than the usual amount at home. If I get quarantined at home, I can't do the weekly shopping anymore. All our government can come up with is "tell someone else to do your weekly shopping". Yeah, sure. As if.
Corona virus finally affect where I live
