We joke about toilet paper hoarders filling their spare rooms with two-ply, but it’s a symptom of a bigger problem – we’re addicted to consumerism, and even the idea of not being able to buy whatever we want, whenever we want is enough to make us lose our bloody minds.
Civilisation has been built on scarcity but the idea is so foreign to first-world modern life we don’t even know where to start. With all the world’s technology and knowledge at our fingertips, we’re planning to survive for months on pasta and toilet paper. People are panic-buying flour with no real idea what they’re going to do with it.
The supply chains that put food on our family tables are negotiated in multinational boardrooms, and they are more fragile than we might realise
My late grandmother lived through poverty, wars and military occupation – if you had asked her how to prepare for hard times, she’d grab a spade and start digging a vegetable garden.
If things really get bad, the garden growers will be better prepared for the future than the bunker stockers.
If you planted the likes of spinach, Asian greens, snow peas or cabbages this weekend you’d be knee deep in homegrown fresh produce within a month or two, and it could last you all through winter.
Even if you don’t have a green thumb – or any actual space for a garden – it’s absurd that we are right now walking straight past overflowing baskets of fresh produce so that if the shops close we can live off cans of tuna.
Make sauerkraut from all the cabbages that are in season right now. Get a few heads of cauliflower and fill a dozen jars with piccalilli. Stock your pantry with pickles and ferments.
I love to add to the panic. Stores around here are rationing certain items by limiting one per person.
So I go with other Slavs of various origins dressed in terrorwave, complete /w friend/foe armbands. Then you have a line of guys all speaking Russian, all getting the same rationed items. Americans quiver when they see this.

Typical slav/gopnik attire, nothing scary about it.
It is known as Sports Elegant in Israel when its not a full tracksuit, but regular clothes mixed with maximum 1 part of tracksuit and some sports shoes.

pesky travels would know with her weird style of black lipstick cheap looking skirt and second hand looking high heels too big to fit her right?

Cyanide lips.

No but I'm going to call her out on the self loathing. She does that to shield herself from trolls it's so obvious. As if she isn't impervious to criticism. She fucking loves herself the ugly ginger cunt.
