The Democrats have decided to shut down the government. Federal payrolls are only partially funded during the shutdown.
Amazingly enough, our Constitution says the federal government will maintain a standing army. Yet the shutdown affects their pay.
Senators that are bouncing around telling us how horrible the Republicans are are still taking a paycheck.
I’m unsure of how federal law enforcement is funded, but I keep reading about good enforcement actions.
SNAP, and it was gone
What isn’t funded is SNAP. All SNAP payments stop at the end of this month.
You are going to have many people who are suddenly unable to just buy food. Many of them haven’t prepared for this. Many of them have children.
Worse, many of these people feel entitled to take what is not theirs.
Over the next few weeks, I expect to see a massive increase in crime around the country as these people decide it is easier to steal what they want than to get a job and pay for what they need.
Tiktok is already flooded with people calling for mass shoplifting events to happen on November 1.

I am going to stock up on the staples today, just in case.

Do not think this is by accident either. I suspect there are some (most likely on the left side of the aisle) that are hoping for massive food riots to happen. Not sure if they are expecting the same level as the 2020 St. George of Floyd riots, but I am sure the complaint media will turn it into a Trump did this event.
Yes, turn the Situational Awareness radar up to max distance and sensitivity. If you can, lay in food supplies, plan to shop early in the morning (around sunrise, if possible). Be extremely wary leaving the supermarket, if possible, go with another shopper, pull your vehicle up and load it quickly. Have a driver behind the wheel who also serves as a lookout (overwatch). Go prepared for trouble to the extent you can. That means prepare to counteract violence.
