sarakingdom Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 6 hours ago, Tanktimus the Encourager said: Our local Grocery store chain put out a video about how good their supply chain is, and that people don't need to panic buy. It probably won't work, but they tried. People's only frame of reference is hurricanes. In no other country is it impossible to buy things. Also, do you know how easy it is to get Amazon to send you a six month supply of toilet paper? Yeesh. I think it's mostly the need to feel there's something you can do. And there is, but that's not it. 2 Quote I felt like I could run forever, like I could smell the wind and feel the grass under my feet, and just run forever.

After a week people will figure out that they can still go to the store, they still have power, they still have internet. They also will have all that food they panic-bought. Except maybe the beer. If my household is any indication of wider trends, there is a lot of stress drinking going on. So the grocery stores will calm down.

This does involve a certain priority reshuffle. But what people who put Drumknott on their beginner list fail to appreciate is that the guy is Drumknotting at an elite level. Priorities change.
