CTH:Right now, today, the retail food supply-chain is trying to recover from previous panic buying. Across the nation grocery stores are wiped out. Warehouses are emptying trying to replenish the stores. The upstream suppliers are trying to resupply the warehouses.
Supermarkets are closing early and opening late while trying to stem panic and fulfill customer demand. Now is exactly the wrong time to limit food choices and push more people into those retail food stores.
No advance notice. No time to prepare or plan… just an immediate order.
Imagine what will happen tomorrow morning in Ohio and Illinois at grocery stores.
Notice these orders from short-sighted governors almost immediately; meaning, no-one has had the time to prepare for this type of a disruption in the total food supply chain.
These governors do not have any experience, policy framework, or previously established state-wide systems (having been tested through experience) for a process of rapid food distribution as a result of a state emergency. They are flying by the seat of their pants, and taking advice from the wrong people with the wrong priorities and the wrong frame-of-reference. more
:Digs up Al Capones grave:
“C’mon, old timer, we gots a lot of work to do if we want to open a speakeasy before 9pm.”
Lamest pandemic ever
*Well-earned tinfoil hat on*
Now if you were a governor who hated DJT and wanted to make his economy as dismal as possible, while knowing the media will try to smear anything that happens on him, would you pull something like this?
Conversely, if you were a conservative governor would you EVER do something like this?
*hat ain’t coming off*
Is this the virus’s way of taking out certain politicians come election time by exposing their tyrannical impulses?
This isnt TB, but an obamavirus.
Enough
Should we open clinics to offer counseling to those traumatized by the governments response to this dempanic?
My wallet is rumbling like a hungry tummy at the idea.
Just imagine if we had a REAL crisis.
What we’re seeing is the sheer number of feeble-minded sheeple.
In one year they are going to call this the “WTF was that bullshit, You tanked my 401k for no reason, and people went batshit crazy for nothing, Flu”
This is socialism at its best! Pushed by the Democratic state run media!!
Open anyway.
What are they gonna do, shut you down?
When they come for the kitchen, show them your AR-14.
If that doesn’t slow them down, bring out your 100 round bullets.
These self important little pissants need to be reminded who is really in charge.
“A government cannot just shut down 30 to 50 percent of the way civil society feeds themselves.” The problem is this group is either too lazy or don’t know how to cook meals at home, so they are filling their shopping carts with frozen prepared meals & canned goods they only have to nuke. Those, like A.O.C that don’t know how to use a microwave will be demanding that meals be delivered to their door.
I have many friends and family who do not wear tinfoil hats like I do. Good conservative people who just don’t necessarily believe everything is a conspiracy theory or the government hates us. Yet, today many of these people are asking what the hell is going on because this across the country and the world doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the virus. These are not the crowd that believes in civil wars, SHTF and have always laughed it off, now they’re talking a civil war is on the horizon because people in power in government and corporations are using this for one world power.
I hope Trump has a hell of an ace up his sleeve, because people are getting very uneasy. Right now the libtards are praising their local governments for saving them, but we all know libtards are for the most part those who only stocked up on toilet paper. They will be quite restless in a short amount of time, especially if they can’t get their McDonalds dinner. Has anyone ever seen McDonalds drive thru? The rare occasion I get food at McDonalds I always go inside because the drive thru is wrapped around the building.
You’re all under arrest – for criminal eating!
I’m shocked, shocked to find eating going on in this establishment.
What are you in for?
Illegal eating.
BLOW. THEIR. HEADS. CLEAN. OFF.
Illinois is shutting down bars and restaurants, except drive thru and delivery will still be allowed. The plus to this is I own a liquor store, and my sales today have been great!
Remember when preppers were considered a “fringe” group?
“You have the right to remain silent, or, throw up, depending on how you feeeel. Anything you eat can be used against you in a court of law or a laundromat. Or, you could cough up the contents of your stomach right now. Hey, not on me, bubba!”
The milkman just confirmed he’s showing up on schedule! (no I’m not kidding.)
Yes, Ghost and Crew likes our milk fresh as we can git. The glass half gallons and sealed peel away plastic tops.
“A government cannot just shut down 30 to 50 percent of the way civil society feeds themselves.”
They can.
And they did.
And everyone’s just OK with it.
The millennials say it’s just fine for Mayors and Governors to suspend the Constitution during any emergency, real or imagined.
Because it makes them feelz safe.
This is why they didn’t teach them history.
This way, they don’t realize that the rights they willingly “temporarily” surrender, will be given back NEVER.
…after all, it’s for their saftey…
…for the record, DeWine never WAS a Republican. We COULD have had one, but the GOP-E shot him down in the primary.
“for the record, DeWine never WAS a Republican”
Right? There’s a McCain/Romney in every state. Somewhere in legislature.
We’re so screwed here in Ohio. De Wine has been a rino for decades. I expect the Governor’s mansion is fully stocked. These merchants need to tell De Wine to go to Hell and keep on running their businesses. We have 4 friends who run small restaurants and they will be devastated. There’s also the waste of everything in their kitchens that isn’t frozen. We haven’t hoarded and the only supplies we have are of cat food, soup – many I cannot eat at the moment. I gues that leaves Ensure and Friskies. Thanks Gov for bringing panic buying to my county which was still sane.
Eugenia I’m sorry. I know at the moment, you REALLY don’t need this shit.
“Beware the Ides of March”
-Shakespeare
During this dempanic I would be surprised if the professional politicians also closed supermarkets and other retail outlets.
I trust the governor is shutting down the deadlines for the taxes to be paid by these businesses as well. No?
Little Morphin’ Annie- lol. Not only that, he won’t be pulling much revenue in if no one’s open. Maybe that will dawn on him during the lawsuits and when they’ve dragged him into court. lol
Also just happened by our Marxist mayor in Nashville.
Millennial: “Hey, Boomer! I’ve got your jar of Boomer Remover right here!”
Boomer: “Hey, punk! I’ve got a can of Millennial Whupass right here… And clean-up the mess when you wake up.”
First my son was kicked out of school.
Now he’s kicked out of his job.
All it took was 2 days of excessive panic.
^ They’re not done turning up the shit-o-meter, yet, ecp.
So, no one from the government thought to ask business owners for solutions, ways to reduce risk? Oh, that’s right, the government knows best.
WA state governor is going to announce the closing of bars and restaurants tomorrow. No in house dining but take out and delivery. Reduced crowd size gatherings from 250 people to 50.
My elderly parents are in Ohio. They are active and healthy. It’s all I can do to convince them to stay home. There’s so much panic buying that I’m sending them a care package with Surgical masks and Clorox wipes. My BFF and hubby dropped off more stuff to them today. They like to go to the grocery store and a Target to “look around” Noooo! Stop! 😩
So what’s the consensus? I guesstimate it’ll be four more weeks of this insanity. There are a few more dozen fads we all need to buy before this is over.
flip, the new CDC recommendations are for 8 weeks of no events with 50 or more people.
However, I give it two weeks before people are bored with the virus and quit praising government for saving them.
Thanks MJA, don’t need this crap now. On a very limited diet of white bland mess, low fiber but protein allowed. My pants are really drooping.
Amy Action, the Ohio Dept of Health Director, is an abortion loving one-worlder. Friday she announces there are 100,000 undiagnosed cases of corona in Ohio. An insane number she pulled out of her a^^. After causing more panic and being called on the number she now says it may be only a thousand. Math is not her strong subject.
So far there hasn’t been much panic in my county. I expect that will end tomorrow. I forgot about another restaurant owning friend will undoubtedly open at 6:AM tomorrow and tell the govt to go to Hell. He’s a legal immigrant and US citizen from a shit hole country who works extremely hard. He won’t take it.
Gov Asshat has given no time for owners to prepare or stock carry out supplies. He hasn’t even looked at options for restaurants and I blame ‘Dr.’Acton.

Yet he does nothing about people bringing their germ infested reusable bags into the grocery and putting them right on the checkout counter. Study after study has shown to be unsanitary unless washed regularly, like after each usage. Goddamned hypocrisy of the left makes me ill.
