    You know it’s funny the pattern that is being followed is exactly how I predicted it. You’re noticing like on social media people are telling less and less jokes. The reality is starting to settle in. People re-coming more and more anxious and more restless. When people realize this is going to go on for months and months and months you’re going to start to see pockets of civil unrest crop up here in there. And then it’s going to spiral out of control. I give it three weeks.

    Same here. At first its a novelty. But then its gonna wear off and people are gonna start getting pissed. Now you have corporate America like walmart limiting how many people can go into their store at one time. Tell me thats not a sick joke. Walmart destroyed mom and pop business all across America, and now they throw around their weight in dictating how many people can shop in their stores after eliminating so much competition.

    Especially a monster 50,000 SQ big box. Hardly enough revenue to keep a deli going hour after hour on such pitiful sales revenue.

    HA.....

    Maybe they demo the whole thing and build 30,000 dollar general style minimarts.

    The civil unrest has already begun. The return of hijacking trucks has started in Texas. New York shopkeepers are boarding up their windows and the top 3% - 15% are hiring private security to keep their homes safe. It will get worse before it starts to get better.

    Just what's been pushed through the computer by the company. They had 3 hijack/theft attempts in one week, they said.
