i used to climb at curbar all the time, there's a town less than a kilometre away and it's probably a pretty nice place to walk the dog if you live there the uk authorities did gently caress all about the virus for weeks and now they're doing a really good line in "this is all your fault, unruly peasants"

my grocery store is pretty much back to full stock except for a few random things and all the toilet paper people are still loving buying all the toilet paper, aisle completely empty within minutes of restocking, and they're still having to keep a security guard in the aisle to enforce one package per customer did you know that the whole thing originally started because a japanese guy made a fearmongering facebook post saying "all japanese toilet paper comes from china, better buy yours now so you get one made before coronavirus" and that started a run on it in japan, which then spread to australia and then the rest of the world, and the japanese guy has been arrested for causing a panic but now it's just self-sustaining? objectively it's kind of a fascinating little social event

I think there's a legit reason to expect a short-term shortage though - a bunch of short-term consumer (retail store) demand compared with reduced office supply (truck-delivered) demand. Those are not the same source, so the shelves go empty when everyone is also trying to stock-up weeks worth at the same time. Like there's something real there, but then the overexposure in the panic makes it a bit worse.

SO DEMANDING posted:coming out the other end as a prepper nutbag The preppers were right all along. I'm the idiot for not recognizing that its braindead to expect that everything will just always be fine forever. Imagine actually thinking that at no point in the next 60 years can anything possibly threaten comfortable western life. Maybe current retail store situations are a result of a mismatch of supply and demand and production continues on as it always had. But you really want to bet that absolutely nothing could ever happen in the next year, 2, 10, 50 and that production will always be invincible? Surely global warming, extinction of pollinator species, suicide-gene GMO, and monoculture farming practices will never, ever have negative consequences. But I guess we'll just keep telling ourselves that It Can't Happen Here. Surely nothing could possibly deteriorate as governments are overwhelmingly infected with a disease that is highly fatal to their age group, unemployment spikes 30% in a month, it's literally illegal to leave your house, shortages have been present in grocery stores for anywhere between 6-42 weeks with a population that has been stockpiling guns and ammunition for the last 10 years. There won't be any writing on the walls before it happens. Who foresaw that the school year of the entire world was about to be cut 3 months short and the entire state of california was going to be on lockdown in 10 days, 10 days before it happened.

Being a prepper doesn't solve the problem. What are you going to do, work a garden for 5 years before dying from a tooth infection? It's poo poo. At the end of the day we're in this together and it's a myth that everyone can just turn into Robinson Crusoe and live off the land free from society. A libertarian fever dream. You're way better off, and all of us are better off, if you spend that time and energy organizing communities and practicing political action.

Emergency prepping solves common, short term problems and is not without merit. Everyone should have supplies for when, for instance, a massive earthquake hits and everything is destroyed and it takes several weeks for things like power, food and clean water to return. End of the world prepping as commonly practiced is dumb as hell for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

You're way better off, and all of us are better off, if you spend that time and energy organizing communities and practicing political action. creating local communities that can self sustain as much as possible is the key. create small self sustaining bubbles and then interact with other bubbles to build benefit while possible, but the bubbles can fall back into themselves and be mostly ok rather than always relying on geographically spread supply to keep costs down I hope this moves society away from materialism to what extent and people learn a bit about what matters.

buying 144 rolls of toilet paper every time the store has any in stock, the activity under discussion, is not emergency prepping. as a matter of fact you don't even need toilet paper to live. strange but true. everyone should have a well stocked first aid kit, flashlights with spare batteries, methods of starting fires, and about a month (being frugal) of dried/canned/frozen food. your house probably has at least 2 weeks just by default if you do a normal amount of cooking and are not an incompetent facebook employee. you don't need to stockpile water because if the emergency seems imminent you just fill up your bathtub and that'll keep you going until a better system is set up. if you are really worried, maybe get a couple of 5-gallon jericans and put them in your shed. going beyond that is getting into doomsday idiocy.
