Comment on Preppers helped fulfill their own prophecy

It’s more like, I don’t expect a zombie apocalypse or a full warzone in my neighborhood, but if power goes out or water becomes unsafe or goes out, or whatever bullshit happens, I’ve got enough basic items to survive and not have to worry too much.
I have dried beans, rice, water and enough other things to be ok.
COVID showed us some of the insanity that can happen when just toilet paper ran out for a week or two. Imagine if food or electricity were unavailable that long.

Do you remember when rumor had it that fever reliever A made you more vulnerable to covid, so the stocks of fever reliever B were emptied?
We did lose power for a week and that both sucked and helped inform my preparations going forward.

Yeah exactly. You can prep all year long, but sometimes it’s the most silly and unexpected things. Wonder how many full “preppers” had enough TP? 🤣
