Can someone explain why people are stocking up on **** paper? I mean come on. Do people **** more than they admit? I’m a once a day guy but gawd damn these people act like they’re gonna quit making it. I can see stocking up on non perishable foods, Won’t need that tp when they run out of food

Our work is booming, We build trailers , it makes absolutely no sense. Just hope they dont shut down the offroad parks.

My wife's restaurant as well as a lot of our friends businesses are suffering. The news is telling people to stay home and not eat our. A LOT of small businesses are going to go under because of this. Got a friend in Italy and the govt. has mandated only grocery and pharmacy are allowed to open so if you are a business owner you're screwed. I have a feeling we'll be closed by the summer. We had less than 20 customers yesterday.

Has anyone seen this? The Wuhan meat market.

 

[Eddyj]

I’ve already had a couple of friends affected. I have started looking for work for multiple people in hopes to help them get by this year. The amusement industry is seeing record losses. Disney is getting raped right now and it is just going to roll down hill.

Correction: there is no amusement industry...
Movies, bowling alleys, are next of this don’t blow over.

Thats crazy with it being in the middle of downtown!

 

[jeeptj99]

well, I'm still traveling for work. Customer event and I'm going. Thank God its in the mountains and not in a giant town.

 

[j-mox]

I’m prepared for now

 

[muddinmetal]

I am still making money in the stock market and affected in no other way.... yet

 

[Zjman]

For us old folks

 

[easleycrawler]

Just to show you this panic is political charged, in the last 10 years there was N1H1, Ebola, swine flu, that killed tons more people and alot more dangerous, but that was when Obama was in office and the news loved him and it was no big deal, now the crazy fake news and left wing idiots are creating a panic and wrecking the stock market, just to try and pull Trump down! It's crazy to think these people would like to see millions of people suffer financially to just get at Trump!

Goddamn. Finally someone who See's things the way I do. I've heard people say, it's not politically motivated because nobody wants the economy to go to ****. That's a bunch of bull****, them mother****ing dematards don't give a **** about nothing, except tarnishing Trump, they sure as **** don't give a damn about the people or the country. Goddamn all the left wing sons a *****'s. They can kiss my American ass.

 

[TBItoy]

when the economy goes to ****, people look to the government to save them.

Makes full on socialism a lot more palatable to the average person when they are facing a layoff, foreclosure, repossession, etc and there is a talking head promising to "take" the wealth from the "evil" banks and corporations and give it to them...

people love to wax poetic about FDR's New Deal. Never mind that it was the biggest step toward socialism we've ever made, and set our country on a rapid (in historic terms) trajectory to crash in spectacular fashion.

from a .gov webpage about the history of the Great Depression
"The presidential campaign of 1932 was chiefly a debate over the causes and possible remedies of the Great Depression. The Republican Herbert Hoover planned to depend largely on natural processes of recovery, while the Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt was prepared to use the federal government’s authority for bold experimental remedies. Roosevelt was elected president on the platform of a “New Deal” for the American people."



The fact that both sides of the aisle are willing to make fake $ and throw it at "problems" continuously is going to catch up with us one day, and those little cotton rags with dead presidents faces on them are going to be worth less than toilet paper.

Exactly...I have plenty of socks, shirt pockets, long sleeve shirts if I run out of **** paper...lol

So what bill is the gov’t trying to sneak through while we are all distracted?

I did not read it myself but I heard that Polosi tried to put something in the corona virus bill for abortion or something like that. Not really a surprise it is standard practice for either side to get something passed they dont want the general public to know about.

 

[jeeptj99]

Well, we are out of ar's, ak's, most glocks, 223/556, 9, 40, buckshot, and most bulk ammo across the board. This is getting out of hand. Weve heard from ammo manufactures that we are getting hit with price increases too.

Crazy here in western PA people have definitely not stopped going out. There was a 1 hour + wait in most places Friday night, bars were packed Saturday it was crazy. We were in Ohio today and the waitress told they are closing ALL bars and restaurants indefinitely as of 9pm tonight throughout the entire damn state.

 

[P]

I'm just sitting around waiting for a furlough. Rail traffic is worse than 2008 #'s pair that with Rich folks getting thier asses handed to them by the Markets, it seems inevitable they will start furloughing *****es.

 

[The Luke]

Downtown Nashville is a freakin ghost town. Looks like the early episodes of the walking dead when Rick went into Atlanta. Blows my mind.

 

[Blackbeard]

Yeah, my wedding in June might just get canceled...people are freaking out.

As far as stocking up on ammo, Im Ashamed to say I still have my case of new PMags and ammo from the last huge run on guns. I need to go to the range more.

 

[muddinmetal]

I need to go to the range more.

I had, just over the last year or so, felt comfortable shooting again because ammo prices had dropped to a comfortable level. One month ago, I put $350 into building a steel pistol range on my property... and now this ****. I am scared to shoot again for fear of being unable to replace the quantities I have.

 

[jeeptj99]

I'm still gonna shoot. Granted I'm in a different position on that front than most of yall. I was going to start doing a bunch of training classes though. That might get halted real quick.

 

[poolman]

We had two customers call today and ask us to put jobs on hold. They want to see what's going to happen. About 5k so far, but thats only two customers. With our business being seasonal it's going to hurt, especially if we completely miss the entire prime time. We make 85% of our money in four months. I can see this putting some small businesses under.

Don't feel bad, I have a couple new AR's I bought when we thought Hilary was going to get president, and never even took them out of the box.

 

[matth_85]

I’ve probably put less than 200 rounds through my first Obama AR.

 

[tkinze]

dont know about other states but I'm here in Ga. Typically background checks take 15-30 minutes tops, have a friend that tried to buy on Monday and he wont clear until Friday at best.

Swung by Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna and they were inundated, 1 hour+ line just to talk to counter help and ammo isle was decimated. They even shut down their online store.

Wanted to look at an M&P AR10 but wasn't gonna hang around the crowd so booked it it outta there.

 

[muddinmetal]

Since the earliest exposure to Covid-19 in the US, there have been a 100 affected deaths. (90% of those were over 55 and/or had underlying health issues)

Also since that US exposure there have been 155,000 deaths from other causes.

The worse may be yet to come, but I still believe we are really over reacting. Either that or we do not value lives lost on a daily basis enough.
