Holy perestroika, tovarisch! Shelves pretty empty this morning. A few bright spots here and there, couple of cases Iso, some hand soap. Meijer better stocked than Walmart. Kroger tomorrow am.

FUCK trump!
I wonder what the commissary will look like. Last week all the paper goods were missing. They were to resupply last night but who knows. I think I'll get there a tad earlier than usual.

I was at the stores I usually go to at 7 this am there were 2-3 times as many people as usual. There was a frenzied hustle in their step. Walmart was all out of meat, Meijer had expensive cuts only. Walmart some vegs/Meijer, none. Walmart had a lot of bread, Meijer, none. Dairy spotty in both.
I go early to avoid crowds but I may try about 11 and see if the shelf stocking situation improves. Both stores have reduced hours to clean and restock so they say. They both did look and smell clean.

People are starting to panic about money.
In 2008 I think, I remember George W Bush sending everybody $300 that basically was an advance on the following year's tax refund. At the time I thought it was BS because I was still working and I knew my tax refund would be $300 less during tax time. But others needed that money and it obviously was paid for, in a way.
They should start thinking about that immediately. Send people money before all hell breaks loose.
Consumer spending drives the economy, give consumers money to spend. Even if the shelves aren't complelely stocked. This will be a lot uglier if people start dying and half the people have no income because of no work from fear of spreading this virus.
People who work a couple days a week still need that couple days a week worth of money. We don't need another depression started by a disease.
^^^^^^^This guy doesn't deserve to be on the list to receive a check. Just eat your hand sanitizer stash you profiteering idiot.

I am delighted that Amazon and eBay closed the door on those profiteers. Suffer baby
The government has declared an emergency, in my opinion they should confiscate his stock, pay him the retail price. Then sell it to private hospitals at retain price or give it to the VA Hospitals or other tax supported health facilities.

He got his. Authorities stepped in and forced him to donate the sanitizer.

I was able to locate 36 rolls of toilet paper the other day at Giant Eagle.
We kept 12. The other 24 of Angel Soft were divided up between our 2 daughters and my 97 year old mother in law.
The shelves were empty again last night.
If somebody told me at Christmas we'd be dividing up toilet paper in March, I would have suggested they need psychiatric help.
This is some crazy shit though, even without the psychiatric help.

Pittsburgh area slang for an empty brown paper bag.
As in, "just throw it in a poke and take it to your grandma."
