Are we panic buying

eighteen : why you ask, Do you now have an overstock of toilet paper?

eighteen :
Buying "what"?

eighteen : I think on some products it may be a wise decision. Maybe change after the Mid-Terms elections.

eighteen :
Just keep well stocked in general

eighteen : May I ask why? What did I miss…… a hurricane?

FreebyrdII : Well, we both must have missed it! LOL~!

I have no idea what we're talking about. I go to Costco at least twice a month though so I'm sure I'm fine on whatever it is.

there are "experts" saying that people should stock up so they are prepared in case of nuclear strikes.
one of those is Dan Bongino
this is beginning to sound a lot like the 50s thru the 70s...
the Cold War... the arms race
so this is what they mean by the Good Old Days?
duck and cover! under your desk!

Cbear: That's me on a regular day, I can't help it, I like having a lot of TP all the time lolol

eighteen :
Not panic buying the BS these people are trying to sell.

ProblemAgain :
I remember those drills in elementary school! What a way to scare little kids!

teatime :
I never believed those nuns. They were wrong about so many things.

ProblemAgain :
I have not read anyone claim that we need to stock up because of nuclear war.I did read that many countries are now running exercises so that they can function off the grid for 30-90 days. I am a worrier so I went to dark places. My husband read more and seems to think it's just exercises like they do with many other disasters. He said it might have more to do with all the concern of energy used by all these data centers.He also said it was probably no coincidence that Dan Bongino's podcast sponsors all sell products that would benefit from prepping.But I did read that many people are concerned that the midterm elections could trigger more protests and more acts of vandalism.

MrsC67 :
Let me know when you start buying useless stuff. I may ask you to grab me something. But I always have lots of TP. That I never want to run out of.
