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.
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.
