s/Spending/Stocking Up/
I suppose the title is apropos. Some of us remember how bad logistics were during the pandemic. It probably won't be much better should bigger events start popping off. A large amount of products are manufactured outside of the US and re-shoring will take a bit of time. I see no issue with stocking up on things that may not be available.
My priority has been water storage, freeze dried foods and most notably freeze dried coffee!

- LinuxBender 3y agoI doubt that the majority of this is to be accounted for prepping for an economic collapse. I think it can be. People already have all their toilet paper and paper towels. Only half kidding. If something is about to go down they may not be able to buy those splurge items for several years or longer and they certainly would not be able to travel. So getting that out of the way now makes a lot of sense to me. Risky but it makes sense. Risky in that one may be stuck wherever they traveled and may not have access to their money.
