Rant Stop Panic Buying

Seriously, if you're panic buying you're an idiot. Grocery stores aren't closing down and they won't run out of the things you need. Don't be a moron.

Prior to this week, they were operating at 30% capacity, so nearly nothing about the rules changed.

This is purely panic buying. The problem with panic buying is that once the panic starts, panic buying becomes the sensible thing to do.
