    I cannot say that I do that but I always have some spare cash just in case. I don't worry about it too much as I don't plan to spend any cash. We have all of the essentials we would need. I might go out later in the week for a milk run and a few odds and ends but its not necessary as we're always stocked up. I'm a little more aware of my surroundings now no matter where I am. If the security lights come on now I check the cameras or I actually look outside. I think you will start to see some stealing starting soon. Mostly just grab and run stuff becasue they know the sheriff won't come out for minor things. Anyways we're prepared as I think most are that are on this forum.

    I am thinking the food will start to come back on the shelves in the next week or two. More than half the population is living check to check. Even something like 40% of the people making over $150K per year are living check to check. With reduced hours and salaries (and soon to be layoffs), folks will not have money to buy huge amounts of food (or TP). It is the same reason I do not think there will be runs on the banks beyond what we have seen thus far.

    What is really crazy here is when we go to a Dollar General (closer than a grocery store), they have pretty much everything except TP. But Wally World and the grocery store are completely gutted. I am told it is because the Trailer Hens (snowbirds) are going there and buying them out due to the fear that their stores wherever they came from will be empty. I am SO ready for the Trailer Hens to just go away! I know they keep our cost of living cheap and bring some jobs, but damn those people are a pain in the ass!!!

    I read somewhere that the Tyson CEO said that they were about a week away from getting things back to normal. That was a day or so ago when I seen it.

    I'm guessing there'll be a run near here tomorrow. Gov of WA just ordered lockdown to start immediately for residents, and business in 48hrs, and is for a minimum of 2 weeks.

    That isn't something I had thought about. Most don't have the cash to bulk buy and didn't plan on it.

    Maybe that'll mean some good deals on used guns in a few months?
    "Every person’s life is theirs by right. An individual’s life can and must belong only to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."
