Even the briefest look at social media confirms that Kansas City consumers are clearing shelves and buying a mountain of things that they might not need in such vast quantities.
Last night, TKC took this photo at our 2nd favorite box store location as customers packed aisles until closing following local "state of emergency" coronavirus declaration and the non-stop litany of coverage on COVID-19 from the MSM. Sad admission, a tough stare down from what was likely an angry 92-year-old woman won that last package of paper towels in the background. After the humiliation, a garden hose was purchased to take care of TKC toiletry needs instead.
Hot take . . .
SHAME ON YOU KANSAS CITY CITY FOR HOARDING LIKE SCARED SAVAGES!!!
More importantly, this is a good place to remind merchants that Kansas price-gouging laws are now in effect AND Missouri ALWAYS have sanctions ready for merchants who spike costs during a crisis.
A few more local insights . . .
Unless customers are in the market for a big screen TV or a discount sofa . . . The MIDTOWN BUY IN BULK BOX STORE on Linwood in KCMO is completely cleared out of most useful "prepper" supplies but they're still making great pizza. However, there is some celebration that they did get a "fresh" supply of toilet paper this morning.
We've seen reports from the Lenexa WHOLESALE SUPPLY CHAIN that offer curious stories about middle-class white ladies yelling at each other whilst scrambling to get paper towels.
Many KC grocery stores like the KCK "El Chopo" are out of toilet paper, cleaning supplies and all the stuff that MSM has been promoting.
Meanwhile, at the risk of seeming cynical, it's important to remember that most healthy people can go without eating for weeks and just about everybody in KC could stand to lose a few pounds.
Moreover . . .
KANSAS CITY HOARDING IS AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS!!!
Moreover . . .
USELESS LOCAL MSM PUNDITS & REPORTERS ARE TOO AFRAID TO CALL OUT POINTLESS LOCAL HOARDING FOR FEAR OF LOSING THEIR PLACE IN LINE!!!
And so, the stock market continues its roller coaster ride whilst Kansas City residents seem locked into MSM coverage from behind their stockpile of junk.
You decide . . .
So NOW you're telling me that I don't need 500 paper towels and can probably use a cloth towel instead when I'm at home. Damn it!
ReplyDeletePeople are going to do what they want, this is a free society and if anything is wrong here it's the price gouging rules. People should pay dearly for their idiocy.
DeleteWelcome to Wal-fart. I love you!
DeleteDex, you win the prize for smartest post. Price gouging laws are stupid and promote hoarding.
DeleteFear has always ruled the marketplace since the talking apes realized they could trade their bananas for something better.
ReplyDelete^^^ Like an SUV?
DeleteMore like neck chains and other assorted bling.
ReplyDeleteAlso, did they have to re-route the free public busses to the Linwood Costsco, or is that a high volume area already?
Hey Tony why don't you do a few more fearmongering posts like this one, then put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger?
ReplyDeleteOr, consider that Google said tonight it would start taking down websites on their platforms deliberately spreading misinformation during a national emergency.

I don't get it, TKC posts links to price gouging news and says people SHOULD NOT HORDE GOODS but you sat that is fear mongering. WTF? The news has reported exactly the same thing about hoarding and the limited supply of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. I guess reading tkc every day hoping for it to be taken down is one way to waste your life. I'm sure he appreciates the clicks.
DeleteIt's all he does, Greeyo. Hate, fear and bitterness. Is your head up your ass?
DeleteShut your idiotic yap and quit defending your buttfuck buddy. He's a shitheel, a waste of life and only does a disservice to the community.
And you've been reading his blog all night @10:53. If you hated it so much, you wouldn't keep coming back and participating. What does that say about you? Weird.
DeleteBuses are not free yet. And how's that 401(k) thingy workin' out for ya?
ReplyDelete8:17: If you think this post is fearmongering, you haven't been shopping the past few days.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, people seem to be buying cookies, crackers, chips, bread, etc., so they may not survive their diets, let alone the coronavirus.
Time to move from a conservative stock fund to a highly aggressive stock fund that's been beaten down. In a year, you won't believe your gains.
ReplyDeleteWhat this really shows is that the majority of ordinary Americans have absolutely no confidence in the Government's ability to cope with any crisis, on Local, State or National levels.
ReplyDeleteRightly or wrongly, this amounts to a vote against every incumbent Officeholder in the Country.
Not at all. It’s confirmation of the stupidity of many in our country and their inability to digest news and form a rational opinion as opposed to a knee-jerk reaction.
DeleteLooks like the criminals and hooligans are going to own the streets at some point.
ReplyDeleteJUST THE FACTS MA'AM
ReplyDeleteQ: Two months before the Coronavirus emerged in Wuhan China, what activity took place in New York City?
A: On October 18 2019, a large group of public health, corporate, academic, United Nations, World Health Organization, etc., representatives attended an exercise in which a worldwide pandemic simulation was held. A war-game exercise, if you will.
What was the simulated pandemic the group worked through? A Coronavirus, of course!
Hosting the meeting, termed "Event 201", were Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Notes:
The last World Economic Forum at Davos Switzerland was held on January 21-24 2020. You were not invited, because you don't fly on a private jet while hyping the perils of Climate Change. Healthcare was one of 7 key topics.
https://www.weforum.org/events/world-economic-forum-annual-meeting-2020#themes
On 3-13-20, Bill Gates announced he was leaving the boards of Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway to focus full-time on philanthropy and world diseases. No comment on his association with Jeffery Epstein.
Q: No matter how old you are, have you ever witnessed such wild gyrations in financial markets and rapid escalation to a national state of emergency?
A: The only thing that comes to mind is September 11, 2001. Interestingly, there is a parallel to that "event" and what is currently taking place. But, that's too detailed for now, and I don't want to lose you. At this point, I simply want you to THINK about the possibility that what you've been told/are being told about this pandemic may not be true. Other than what the media is telling you, what evidence do you have that there is a coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe? Why might others have an interest in controlling your behavior? Do you trust the media? Fear and panic are very effective manipulative tools, correct?
Please stay tuned.

In 2 months, the most desired and unobtainable item all across the entire USA & Canada will be "oxygen concentrators". They are standalone shoebox to haybail sized machines, you plug in to an outlet, that take regular air, and strip out the hydrogen and nitrogen molecules - then pumps out a nice stream of 97% pure oxygen. Hospitals use them instead of bottled oxygen. Its Life saving for anyone with lung inflamation. Bottle oxygen will not be available due to no provisions for sterilizing those delicate bottles. You just flip a switch on the concentrator, set the liters per minute of oxygen you want, the put on a small mask. You can do it at home. Oddly enough - almost 89% of them are made in China!!!!
ReplyDeleteEconomically, price gouging is good - it keeps horders from buying too much, more than they would ever use. Higher prices means people buy only what they need. Lower prices mean people buy too much and it sits in their closets. its all in supply/demand.
ReplyDeleteHey look at me I'm not wearing a mask!
ReplyDeleteLOL on you @9:30!
DeleteThe supply chain is suffering but it will recover just like the stock market is doing. What you're seeing is people being irresponsible and showing the very worst that this city has to offer. If you look at other places they are doing a good job of cooperating and being orderly, that's the example and the leadership that KC needs to see.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Trump picked up the Bernie Sanders voters by foregoing interest payments on Federal Student Loans.
ReplyDeletePlus, no payroll taxes being withheld out of paychecks will pick up even more voters.
Love this Corona Virus panic the left-wing media has created. Cheap stocks to buy and now no payroll taxes. Plus, Donald Trump picking up Bernie's 10 million voters.
With no future payroll taxes being withheld to fund Social Security, the plan will definitely be bankrupt in 20 years. The icing on this corona virus cake is that the guy who keeps saying "Die Boomer" and "Tik Tok Boomer" will definitely have no Social Security when he is ready to retire.
Bye Bye Bernie and Bye Bye Sleepy Joe Biden.
Tik Tok "Boomer Hater"
Trump checkmates the left-wing media and Democrats once again.
Maybe Plan B will be the Democrats select Chelsea Manning as Biden's VP candidate.
Tik Tok Democrats.
You didn't wear a trojan either. Should have.
ReplyDelete9:22, it's absurd to claim this is a hoax. The World Order that you fear, which is most definitely not the United Nations, doesn't exist. There does not exist an organization of humans that work that well together.
ReplyDeleteWe don't know how many people are infected because there are not enough testing kits. Every time Trump talks about the tests, he lies about how many will be available, & when.
There was no need to destroy the airline industry by closing the border with Europe, especially if you're not going to include the U.K., or announce, in advance, when you are going to do it. Thus, giving everyone a chance to beat the quarantine. That's how it came to be here in the first place, brought by people who "escaped China, just in time" & "beat the quarantine".
This is not a hoax. This is not a drill.
Just think, all of this hassle just because some bowl-haircut having Chinaman just had to slurp down a couple greasy bats with his Yuengling lager.
ReplyDeleteAin't globalism just grand?
10:12 just stop bLIEron, you’re just like a politician, every time you open your mouth a lie comes out.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Republican or a Democrat but I think at times like these we need to all pitch in and not "obey" but remind everyone that we live in a wonderful county and our system of freedom and liberty is the greatest in the world.
ReplyDeleteWe will make it through this pandemic and hopefully our nation will be stronger for it.
Stay sharp loves. KC has a lot of problems and this is only one of them.
ReplyDeleteTik Tok - I can hear the pitter patter of Bernie supporters marching to the Trump camp. Interest free student loans are attracting them like moths to a porch light.
ReplyDeleteTik Tok - Sleepy Joe was napping will not know what hit him until tomorrow.
Tik Tok - Drive by Corona Virus testing at Wal- Mart and Target helps the workkng class Americans. Will be receiving a free MAGA cap with every test.
Tik Tok - President Trump is showing leadership by working for Americans and fearless in the face of corona virus. Sleepy Joe is fast asleep hiding in Memory Lanes Home.
Tik Tok - More Americans desire secure borders. Thank you left wing media for scaring the bejesus out of everyone.
Here's something for you idiots to suck on,
ReplyDeleteThe Trump Presidency Is Over
11:07 But it's not. Weird.
ReplyDeleteIn tough times people tend to rally around the leader. Trump's chances of reelection are increasing.
ReplyDeletetell us more about the magical & mysterious testing kits byron.
ReplyDeleteGuaranteed Trump victory.
ReplyDeleteBiden's old lady is still taking him by the hand, to the toilet.
Hilarious to hear the Trump dreamers claim that Sanders supporters are switching to Trump. There aren't enough vomit bags in the Country to deal with ten Bernie supporters forces to be in the same room with "The Donald"!
ReplyDeleteYou clowns have no idea how disgusting normal people find your God/Emperor/Liar!
Face facts, the "anybody but Hillary" voters who put your boss n Office are gone this time, and all the "anybody but Trump" voters that this Administration has worked so hard to create will be coming out in droves.
"The Donald" knows this, that's why he's declared this phony-assed "National Emergency" as a fist step o postponing the November Election so his Impeached ass won't get tossed onto the ash heap of History!
"Biden's old lady is still taking him by the hand, to the toilet."
ReplyDeleteAnd yet the Great Pumpkin won't even spring for fitted diapers. Weird.
Trump's mishandling to pandemic will result in his demographic--angry old people--being killed off. How's that obstructing Obamacare thingy workin' out for ya?
ReplyDeleteBarry let over a million people get sick and 15,000 die before he did anything during h1n1 crisis..... how’s that “factual information thingy” working out for ya?
ReplyDeleteAnd yet Barry's not been president since 2017. Weird.
ReplyDelete8:33 how’s this sound to you....
ReplyDelete“First impeached President to get re-elected”
That must hurt you deeply doesn’t it! Hahahahaha!
9:42 and his horrible presidency is still haunting the entire country. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI fail to see how "open borders" Biden who loves bureaucracy would improve the situation amid the FDA testing screw up.
ReplyDelete^^^ obiden already forgot about the China virus so....
ReplyDeleteAnd yet closing the borders would have had no effect on the virus' arrival, since it arrived in jets and even made it through Customs. Weird.
ReplyDelete9:45: Alternative history is almost as much fun as alternative facts. You may now return to Fox News for further talking points.
ReplyDelete^^^^ just like your stupidity has no effect on the blog. Weird
ReplyDeleteHey now Fox is the number ranked news outlet by large and I mean large margins, everybody else is just fake news that keep the riff raff dazed and confused so.....
ReplyDeleteNumber one ranked, I screwed that up!
ReplyDelete"I Love Lucy" viewers had to go somewhere!
ReplyDeleteNext there will be a run on wheelbarrows. They make it easier to haul grandma down to the bring-out-your-dead cart.
ReplyDeleteTik Tok - Thank you left-wing media for scaring Pelosi and Democrats to accept lower payroll taxes.
ReplyDeleteTik Tok - Thank you left-wing media for letting more Americans see the light that we need more secure borders.
Tik Tok - Thank you corona virus for showing America that Trump was right; we need to bring back manufacturing from China to avoid supply side economic shocks to our economy,
Tik Tok - Trump wins again against the fake media.
Tik Tok - Landslide MAGA win in 2020 against Democrat fear mongering.
Tik Tok - Boomer Hater is having a meltdown due to Trump's genious.
Tik Tok - Jill is leading Sleepy Joe by the hand down the corridor of Memory Lanes rest home to the cafeteria to eat his lunch of lime jello with pears and a side of Ensure.
ReplyDeleteTik Tok - Sleepy Joe regales his nursing home mates with stories of beating up "Corn Pop" on the mean streets of Delaware during the summer of 1962.
ReplyDeleteTuk Tok - Hunter Biden blows his monthly $80,000 Burisma check on heroin instead of child support.
ReplyDelete@9:4 your repetition of Tucker Carlson's repeated lying about Obama only proves how gullible your are...
ReplyDeleteFACT President Obama declared a National Emergency over the Swine Flu Epidemic in APRIL,2009, more than a month before there were ANY CASES DETECTED IN THE USA!
As usual, CARLSON is proven to be lying, and your attempts to validate his falsehood through repetition is pathetic!
Notice Trump is seldom shown standing up these days? There's a shortage of Depends in his size!
ReplyDelete.......I just saw the BatMobile headin' for the commish's office!!
ReplyDeleteFOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SACRED IN TRUMPH'S PANTS...........
..............HIT THE BAT SIGNAL!!!! AND HIDE THE TOILET PAPER!!!
