(58,785 posts). Many, many, many millions of people are, people who are supposed to be laying in extra supplies in case they must shelter at home. They're doing what is right and necessary, as experts in handling epidemics are advising them to.
Imo, this epidemic and the special problems of some groups do not justify acting out and calling people fuckers and pendejos. You should be happy to realize that most of those shopping are laying in supplies not just to care for one person, but for their families, which typically include members who cannot care for themselves. In addition, many are also running errands for others, such as "senior" relatives or friends, "disabled" relatives or friends, neighbors who no longer drive, etc. etc.
And you should already know that "just in time" merchandising means that stores have moved to only purchasing enough to meet demand for a couple days. When demand goes up unexpectedly, as it has now, THAT will cause empty spots on the shelvs until new supplies arrive.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
