Do any other incels that go out to buy things notice how quickly items are being emptied off the shelves at stores every time there is even a remote possibility of a natural disaster these days? Not just now during the coronavirus but it's been happening for a while since around the early 2010s. The only explanation I've been able to see is that besides more awareness of how you can be out of food and water for days during a disaster and people taking natural disasters more seriously, social media is fueling panic buying because every coming event where there could be shortages of food or water is being hyped up and people are hoarding everything because of that. Maybe also a rising population is playing a part in the increased demand during those events.
Things like bread that isn't too artificial, vegetables, soup, milk now go out of stock any time there is announced to be the possibility of an event where people might need to stay indoors for a day or two. It seems like in the States this is worse in metropolitan cities near the coast but it happens in moderately populated places in the interior of the country too.
Imo it has a lot to do with prepping culture, normies wanting to feel secure and get theirs to show they are in the know and too many people too quick to believe hype on social media.
