It was time this morning to stand in line for my weekly allotment of ammo (getting practice so when this becomes for bread) and overheard a couple of truckers looking for hunting ammo. All they had this week at my local academy were bricks of .22 and bulk packs of M855. Oh and a half dozen boxes of 350 legend they had last week. Apparently nobody owns anything in this years "new hotness".
Listening to the truckers the word in their profession is a massive nationwide Trucker's strike over the Green New Deal should Biden be made president by the EC. Didn't think much of it.
Tonight got home and my wife works for a large trucking company. They are preparing for their drivers to walk off the job at some point in the next month.
I'm preaching to the choir here but in case you haven't: get your Toilet Paper, get some water, make sure your vehicles don't go below 1/4 of a tank and maybe even get a couple of jerry cans filled just incase. Get some extra canned goods this week at the grocery store and if you can swing it anything you think might need for the long winter. Go through your rolodex of Uncle Scruffy's Recipes and make sure you have all required ingredients on hand.
You want to see it hit the fan...3 days of a Truckers strike and it will.
That would be the most magnificent and humorous thing ever. The amount of liberal salt would be enough for an eternity of french fries.
I don't trust the courts to do the right thing though and invalidate the fraudulent votes.
In going to start calling M855 "unity"
Much prefer 75gr OTM, but take what I can get these days.
I'm a 69gr HPBT man myself.
Fuckin 9-1 barrel.
And it’s all the media’s fault
I'll be okay. Good for them. A strike like that and the washington elites would be forced to acknowledge how crucial those workers are.
Nice thing is, you can make soup or stew out of damn near anything.
Good to know and I thank you fren.
Yeah, so heads up for you foot fetishists:
I manage the online stores of a couple gun shops. My sales this week are on track to triple last month's, and last month's were already inflated. People are buying ar's and ammo like mad. I've never seen anything remotely close to this.
Feels like the country is gearing up for the inevitable outcome. We all know that we are heading to the same conclusion either way. Keep your freezers stocked with tendies my dudes, ride out this dark winter.
I know it is deer season here, but in 2013-2016 I could still find things like .243, .270, and .30-06 along with plenty of shotgun shells. This time it's all gone. Only thing left at Academy are the $30 a box waterfowl shot.
But it seems like people got that feeling by last June when the lockdowns didn't end and the riots began. Especially those on the right I think knew shit was coming. It's just no one knows exactly what it was going to look like exactly.
I'm scared.
What do now?
(Nods slowly)
great just when i thought this year couldnt get any shittier. time to stock up on TP and whiskey again
There’s a huge Facebook event or group for the Trucker strike. I don’t go on Facebook much so don’t have the sauce, but if Zuckerberg hasn’t deleted it yet I think the walk off is supposed to happen on 11/11 or 11/14
Well I heard about it in the real world, so it's bigger than just some social media post.
I heard it was the 28th
Link? Is there something showing that date as the strike date?
Guess the strike didn’t happen on Veterans Day
My understanding is that it's later this month.
