Again. you are talking out of your bottom, when it comes to the poor. Stock up, put a little bit by, save. All of those words and ideas, are a joke for those living from hand to mouth. For those people, old and young alike, who live on the bread line, working out how to get money on the electric meter, or what they can afford to eat tomorrow are serious issues. Until you have been there, month after month; you can have no idea of the struggle involved.Self pity and finger pointing to avoid responsibility. Let me set you straight: if you gradually started bulking up months ago it wouldn't have impacted the bare store shelves phenomenon we're seeing now. Bitterness, recriminations and self pity aren't going to help you at all old friend, they're an unpleasant and unhelpful aspect of an entitlement society that could very well be disappearing forever. Your attitude and outlook are going to be more important than what's in your pantry in the final accounting.
No doubt you'll only perceive an insult here but I hope that isn't the case. It's tough love, and the sooner everyone gets that message through their heads the sooner they'll actually be prepared for what is bearing down on us.
Self-pity and finger pointing and avoiding responsibility, are fine statements to make. When talking about those with enough, or those in charge and maybe even fitting, for the welfare dependents, that you hate so much. But to label pensioners, that have worked hard all their lives, or the millions, working on '0' hours contracts, is just out of order and as always, out of touch. Yes you have worked hard to achieve what you have. Yes you have 'the means' to put by, to plan ahead and to be ready, for such events. You are telling us, this all of the time and long before the latest 'we are all doomed' crises arose. Others however. Have to do the best, with what they have now and if that means, getting up early, to be at the store as they open, then that is what they will have to do. It would be nice idea that, while they are there, they 'stock up' and buy a few bags of rice, but unfortunately, one bag, is all they can afford.
Rant over, people are so stupid; but I guess that that is the human race in general and we should expect no less, from them. However: When someone looks down, from their warm carriage and wonders, why don't they just have cake, instead of the daily bread, they cannot find. The stones will fly and no amount of guns, or walls and other defenses, will save them.
