    Apparently the Chinese government is encouraging hoarding food--in preparation for what, one wonders.

    China is urging families to stock up on food as supply challenges multiply

    Sounds like an ordinary warning turns into panic. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/05/econo...hnk/index.html

    It doesn't seem to take much for people to go into a panic anymore. I am still using my Covid tp stock-up!

    Sure it's probably panic. On the other hand if there was a need for U.S. citizens to stockpile food, would the U.S. government issue a warning much less help them out, or let people starve. I'm going to go with let people starve for $1000. Remember China actually tried to deal with covid, many other countries including the U.S. were pretty much: let people die.

    And you can't just laugh at a country that can do this (but you can laugh at one that struggles to pass a basic - not even electric busses or anything forward thinking like, it's like 1950 now right? - infrastructure bill)

    I can't blame people for panicking, at this point.
    I should stock up on firearms to protect my ramen supply...

    Actually, I recent got just a few packages of Indian Ramen and it's definitely worth protecting! Just trying to keep dh away from it is a challenge.

    Thanks for the suggestion--I love Asian noodles, whether Ramen or Sobi, or buckwheat.

    Mom is gathering a stock of crackers. They're hit-or-miss in the store. Never seem to have more than three boxes of her type.

    Last week, the grocery store had very low cheese inventory and no cheddar. Why? Unknown.

    I've accidentally gathered myself an inventory of pasta. BOGO deals and big box store coupons kill me, I can't resist the great deals!
