Same ignorant mentality we used to see with gas lines years ago, people lining up for miles in their cars to buy a few gallons of gas to top off their tanks.
We have actually filled up our gas cans at home to have some on hand for whatever.
If we don’t need them, we’ll just use them and refill them when the time comes.
A little situational awareness allows for one to make last minute preps a few days ahead of everyone else.
Wasn’t that in the ‘peak oil’ BS days of Jimmah Carter?
