If covid turned out to be as bad as the media...
And the unwritten point being, if it turned out to be not so bad, your worst case is that you have a bunch of toilet paper that doesn't have an expiration date (or food you were going to eat anyway, or salt and flour that keeps for a long time, et al.). COVID skeptic or not, it seemed to be the smart hedge.
- talldatethrow 3y agoExactly. But the people who stocked up were labeled as some kind of idiots and nutjobs that didn't trust the system, by the exact people who swore the system was correct about the severity of covid. Call it anti-social if you want, but don't call people preparing for health preservation stupid.
- jraph 3y agoI would not call them stupid, but they massively contributed to the shortage.
- talldatethrow 3y agoSorry but if it's as dire as the media made it sound, survival is first come first serve. Am I going to run out of food or have to venture into a deadly virus so that I can leave some stuff for the next guy? Good practice run for everyone.
