(16,304 posts)Do you have enough shelf stable food and household supplies to last for a few weeks?
In general, there should be enough domestic food supplies to not worry about too many shortages.
But humans are unpredictable as hell. If there are a few empty shelves here and there, folks may not panic. But if the media spins things up, then shelves could empty for no good reason.
A run on toilet paper again? Could happen. Apparently the wood pulp for manufacturing TP gets imported from Canada. Of greater concern would be replacement parts for the manufacturing of goods. Guessing a lot of those parts come from China.
Got kids? Back to school items may be tough to get. Clothing may get more expensive, or just less available. Toys for Christmas may be a bit harder to find.
I dont want to fight folks for the last whatever on the shelf, so Ive stocked up on things I use, whether its food or household goods.
Your list is likely vastly different than mine.
