We’d rather prepare. My husband, a huge leftist, was off on a bike ride blissfully unaware. I filled up his truck for him, as well as mine last night. I also told my adult kids to do same and all three heeded my advice. Husband has learned not to laugh after I bought extra toilet paper and got some masks before the Covid crisis really hit, due to the buzz. He went through almost all the toilet paper despite me asking him to leave that case in reserve because he thought I was ‘crazy’. Then the crisis hit and I realized what happened (he lied about not using it). He had to get up at 5 AM and get online at a store and STILL got the last 12 pack. Came home shell-shocked. Good think I hid those masks. I also got a hand sanitizer dispenser and put it out in the garage.

I have a small business and managed to get another case and a case of paper towels a couple weeks later through a janitorial supply service only businesses had access to.

Never change liberals and hope to hell you have a “Trump supporter” to (literally) CYA in a crisis

You sound like a real peach. Your poor husband.

My mother is as liberal as they come, and she is the one who texted me 2 days ago about making sure my gas tank was full. She is also the one who was texting me about Covid being a matter if when, not if, back in January, and stocking up on masks and sanitizing wipes. It's not a political thing. Some people just have more prepper tendencies than others.

Let's be clear. This is not prepping:

1. Filling up the gas tank after pipeline is hacked.
2. Buying extra toilet paper in a pandemic.
3. Buying masks when the pandemic starts.

That is panic shopping.

This is prepping:

1. Buying a bike because you know energy shortages happen.
2. Stocking up on food when there is no crisis because you know a crisis can happen at any time.
3. Gardening, because a crisis can happen at any time.
etc.

How is #3 on your panic shopping list “panic shopping?” Most Americans didn’t have masks on hand before covid? Stores didn’t even sell masks. Then, you couldn’t go in any store or healthcare facility or even outside without a mask? That’s not “panic shopping.”

Yes, it is panic shopping. Drug stores have always carried surgical masks. Experts have been saying that we were long overdue for a pandemic for years.

Drug stores carry “surgical masks?” For all those home surgeons? Why would people need survival masks at home? You are just being obtuse. And I never saw “surgical masks” in any drugstores. Give me a break.

You have no idea what these pipelines do.

Exactly. Isn’t XL a crude pipeline from Canada? We have ample crude from fracking. Current issue is with refined gasoline.

Same thing as toilet paper a year ago. It's not "scary" and no, DCUM, you can't blame Trump for it.

Why is this thread even in the political forum?

I can and will blame the gop for this. I believe they are involved with Russia in perpetrating this now as their are preparing their nominees for elections. They are intentionally trying to wreck the economy to hurt Biden like Covid did Trump.

Totally different scenarios. I’m glad covid happened because it hurt trump. But this isn’t the same.
