You really have no idea. We’re running low on almost everything. The vendors are struggling to keep up for the point where they cut all their side product lines for the time being, like with breads their only doing the regular white and wheat and nothing else. Our frozen sections back stock is completely empty save a few random boxes. The meat supply is empty and can only result every few days and it’s usually empty again within the same day. The produce is empty unless they get a load in and even then they’re filling entire walls with baby carrots or lettuce heads because they have nothing else. Toilet paper is to the point where we announce when it arrives and people come running to grab it off a skid and they have to keep asset protection around to prevent fights, same with hand sanitizer. Keep in mind this is all while we’re ramping up almost 10x in cases each week. It’s going to get much much worse. Once people who work at suppliers start getting sick I can’t imagine what will happen.

sure, but i'd rather have it and not need it in this situation. some people acting like if they have a gun they're safe, no problemo.

and while yes i could and very well might go the "raider survivalist" route, i still feel like you can make a very strong case in regards to just killing yourself if we've passed the point of no return and all that awaits the survivors is a living hell until they eventually die.

honestly, and this is more of a thing for after this is over and things go back to normal (at least for another decade before we get some other bullshit that fucks everything up): you'd be better off buying/building a bunker and having something like a 10 year supply of food, water, medicine, and entertainment in there. probably something underground or in a cave, where no one would find it most likely. that would be a situation where then guns would be a lot more useful, and where either you hole up in there until shit gets back on track, or you live in there long enough for everyone to kill each other and wait out the "hell period", and then come out like in fallout, after the dust has settled, and THEN you can be part of the rebuilding after waiting for 5-10 years in there. that's my plan to work on whenever things go back to normal, im stuck with whatever happens during this one but i'll be ready for the next one.

lmao cope. In times like these it’s better to move to rural towns. Less people, no stress, no problem getting essentials, no issue whatsoever

This^

Every store on the planet that maintains a stable business has to predict how much product to order. If they order too much and it expires or just sits on shelves then that's wasted money, if they order too little then they are missing out on additional profit until the next shipment comes in. If they could plan it down to the second they would have just enough product to sustain themselves until 1 day before the next resupply. This is a balancing act and all you boomer-fud dumb niggerfaggot retards have fucked it all up because you bought out everything, saw everyone else bought out everything, panicked and tried to buy more of everything, etc.

You people are all locked in a narrow corridor, if everyone files out neatly then everyone makes it out just fine. One single dumb nigger screams and panics and causes a stampede and motherfuckers get trampled to death.
