Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73565079 I hate shopping. well you better stop doing that. or the cops will come after you. for reals. they are telling people to "only buy what you normally buy and a little bit extra, then there will be enough for everybody". and they are saying "you need six months supply of everything because lockdown!" gee how can people buy six months supply if they only buy what they normally buy plus a little bit extra? how can people even buy what they normally buy plus a little bit extra, when there is a sign saying that you aren't even allowed to buy what you normally buy because of purchase limits? also they say to cough or sneeze into your elbow not your hands. and don't shake hands, do a elbow bump instead. so cough on your elbow and then go around elbow bumping people... is all this advice supposed to work together??? |

Quoting: for real 28849559 "Highly-organised" black-market sellers are being blamed for the panic-buying phenomenon gripping supermarkets across the nation as police crackdown on those profiteering from the crisis and urge others to dob them in. Police are launching a massive crackdown on criminal groups hoarding essential items from supermarkets and reselling them overseas as the government plans a targeted home delivery program for the elderly. Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton told 2GB's Ray Hadley organised criminal groups were being investigated for depriving everyday Australians of critical groceries. "We do have some people profiteering, hoarding not for consumption and either selling overseas or in a black market arrangement in Australia. We are going to come after those people and give them a fair warning now it won't be a pretty experience." Police were swooping in on the behaviour, targeting areas where hoarding has been reported, Mr Dutton said. "We will come down like a tonne of bricks on those individuals because I think they're the ones that have created this pattern of behaviour with hoarding and clearing shelves and normally sensible people have been wrapped in this because they've panicked when they've seen the shelves empty," he said.

Only they're organized through CIA and Deep State, because you just can't walk in and buy the whole store. They are buying huge amounts, as if they're doing it backroom deals and it should be absolutely illegal. And they knew about it, pretty much poised to do it. This was planned as an extra form of terror on people who are stuck home, some have to use the washroom every 30 minutes, with health problems, and some are very sick and need lots of tissue and washroom issues. This is a form of absolute terror on people. The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist. The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist. Do not go quietly into the good night.
