I remember a few months ago, towards the end of the run on toilet paper, some guy posted on Twitter that anyone with more than 2 weeks of supplies in their home should be fined heavily. We should probably encouraging people to keep at least 2 months worth on hand instead.

The modern free market is an amazing thing, but if people take it for granted it does make things unnecessarily fragile.

I was raised in a Mormon household, although I haven't been active in the church for years. Back when I was growing up, church leaders would encourage members to keep a year's worth of canned foods in storage in case of natural disaster or financial hardship.
