This is a supply line problem. And boy do we have a big one. We are insanely dependent on China for goods essential to manufacturing, medicine, hell goods in general.

Some people have been critical of Tim for “shilling.” Personally, I have nothign against people offering solutions to potential problems. I think that the beans and rice package the pariot supply has is pretty affordable and a sound idea.

Though, you’d also do well to stock up on nutritionally dense canned stuff like herring, etc.
