Not exactly prepper related, but got full marks on the final paper for my history capstone at my university - did so well that the professor (head of the history department) commented "In fact, towards the end I just kept reading and forgot that my role as a prof is to critique it"

Hell yeah. Thats high praise.
Voljundok@reddit
Right?? Damn near sobbed with relief when I saw it

After all the panic of shortages, shipments from China are coming in hot. Ships are on the way and they are scrambling for more containers.
Planeandaquariumgeek@reddit
Thatâs great to hear, because I was really starting to panic because my gas station mart/auto shop there is about to run out of stock. BRB time to go tell my mom to order shit

Anyone on this sub reading this who panicked over potential shortages, let that be your sign that you should more carefully evaluate your needs and take steps so that next time, you are one of the non-panicked, chilling in your living room, knowing you have the basics, or at least most of them, totally covered already. Price fluctuations and shortages shouldn't be zinging you out. That's why you're here, attempting to be proactive.

What a privileged take. âShouldnât be zinging you outâ my brother in Christ have you heard of poverty??? Not everyone has it like you princess. Paycheck to paycheck living exists.

This is a prepping sub. It is 100% normal to say âthis is why you do prep so you donât have to rush to the store and worry so much about shortagesâ. If you donât wanna hear about prepping hop off a prepping sub.
Everyone buying during a shortage due to panic, even if itâs only a projected shortage not a real one, makes things worse than they already are.
GuiltyYams@reddit
What a rude response!
Have you heard of free resources and long term planning?
Aw, name calling an gender assumption in one post. You're surely worth conversing with.
And there are ways to prep week-by-week. You can start with that search related to that since finances are clearly a concern for you. Best of luck!
OUTOFTIMEFOR@reddit
This didnât make you look any less pretentious. Keep speaking on troubles youâve never had, one day itâll give you the adversity youâre so desperately seeking.

Not today, toilet paper shortages!

China funding WHO is a big win.
WHO does a lot of good work at ground level trying to put bandaids on the problems in remote parts of the world. And as covid showed remote problems can become everyone's problem
DeleteriousDiploid@reddit
China knew Covid was transmissible between humans but lied and said it wasn't then got the WHO to broadcast that to the world. It happened because the leader of the WHO was in their pocket. Same reason why you can find documents on the WHO site praising various nonsensical treatments from Chinese traditional medicine. If I recall correctly it doesn't even criticise the use of rhino horn.
Dramatic-Manager-290@reddit
Yikes though. China is just as bad as the US pulling strings, guarantee you their gonna use the WHO for manipulation

Like you said, this is a PREPPER sub, are you saying prepping is only for a certain class? Sorry Brad that I canât buy 500 Jim baker buckets rn, not everyone can afford to hoard like a dragon.

The herb garden is really growing well this year. I've already harvested once to start dehydrating and refilling the herb bottles.
Tomatoes are blooming, but not producing tomatoes yet. They are coming soon.
Nothing else in the vegetable garden this year. Next year is the new garden spot in my plot of rural in-town living.

Same! My basil and parsaley is growing huge! Gonna have enough for all year at this point. Cant wait for my tomatoes to start fruiting

Iâm in the north and canât plant until after Memorial Day weekend. BUT I have gathered what I need. Itâs been usually colder with rain this year so everything is delayed.

Went to Costco yesterday, I buy the same stuff pretty regularly. Noticed that the price of my favorite coffee, batteries, shoes, and vitamins havenât increased significantly. We do try to take advantage of sales.

UK.
Big spend IT projects being green lit, and fast tracked.
My insight is focussed on groceries and home goods retail.
I assume the accelerated deployment is an attempt to deal with the tarrifs having impacted global supply chains, compounded by recent cyber attacks.
Good news in that it is giving good work and revenue to the market and contractors.

Weâve gotten a lot of much needed rain this week! Hoping to see our area drop off the weekly drought monitor map post soon.
Everything is lush, verdant, and green. It smells absolutely delicious outside. The wildlife is loving it and weâre enjoying perfect porch sitting weather.
