Literally got a double batch of seeds, a few weeks prior to outbreak, dont remember why, had bad feelz I guess, from that patriot supply website. Rcved it about 1-5 days from the event start. All very recent still.
Same website, ordered again on TP news day, when that story hit, wasnt even worried but bought a few #10 cans of storable potato soup and such, well now they say shipping is a little backed up and I realize whoa, everyone ELSE is panicing ALREADY....damnit..I'm late not because the panic is justified but because the panic has arrived before I saw it coming.
Anyway long story short I spent about $90 bucks which would feed me on ration maybe a month while I hunt radioactive chipmunks(planning ahead!)
They've sent me 4 apologies so far, but I still dont have the food.
It feels a lot like when we bought bitcoin miners and the companies waited until they were no longer money machines to ship them.
I would be willing to bet a silver oz that food will arrive the day after the current food shortage is no longer a problem.

Definitely not a theory I have discounted.
There's some seriously weird shit going on, that is certain.
Nobody is talking at all about the coming food shortages, either.

seeds are in short supply on amazon... also microgreens

I was advocating folks to buy seeds two months ago, for this very reason.
It's not just amazon, which is a shit place to buy seeds.
These guys are where you should buy your seeds www.sprouting.com

The current shortage isn't going away. If anything, it will be much worse come Winter.

I should probably order that grow lamp, I hope the lights stay on.
At least I got the seeds!

Get some LED T-5 fixtures. I use them for growing microgreens indoors. In an active SHTF situation, you can run them off a car battery/inverter.
I use 4' long double banks, and they only draw ~140W.

before I knew it I had new tabbed and my lamp arrives Friday.
Amazon needs to give you a commission lol.
