Default Shortages and rationing

Brian Gaff (Sofa) wrote

Well, I still don't understand panic buying.


That’s obvious.

If there is a problem you are merely forcing it to be quicker,


But if you get in early enough and grab enough
to last you thru the panic, it wont affect you.

and if there is not, in the end you are giving a lot of people who are
sensible, a big headache to find essential goods.


Those who panic buy don’t care about that, just themselves.

We should by now be over all this ****.


We arent because it does work for those that do it early enough.

The people predicting rationing will by their actions bring it about.


Doesn’t affect those who buy up enough
early enough to last them thru the panic.

Stupid or what?


What.

Sunlit uplands!

There's definitely some kind of cosmic justice going on here, that a
pandemic is running wild on us just as we're severing the secure
links we
spent decades building with our neighbours. Still, blue passports,
eh?

Looking forward to seeing Kent gridlocked from about this afternoon
when
people start hitting the supermarkets in a panic for Christmas food
and bog
roll.

brian is about to get a preview of a no deal brexit...tee hee

Bring it on. We're not scared. The BEST deal is NO DEAL.

Have you moved back?


Nope. I'll wait til the dust settles.
