Just wanted to say we're just getting started!!!!!!
With how uncertain things are and frankly I think it's just good principles to maintain at least a year's worth of necessities.
If it turns out you don't need it you can just donate the stuff to a food pantry down the line. I personally keep around 18 -24 months on hand and donate every year and then just re-up. Because I typically buy these items in bulk on sale I actually save money.
It can actually be done fairly cheaply. Having these items will help to ensure you have the caloric intake needed on a budget should things get wilder.
Suggestions welcome
You can buy hundreds of pounds of rice, beans,pasta, sugar and flour respectively cheaply.
I've included other items we don't necessarily think about in these situations but that it would be really inconvenient not to have such as toothpaste, deodorant, trash bags.
Edit: this has expanded past a basic list due to the great suggestions made in the comments. Consider it a reference list for items you may need and really it would vary predicated on the severity of the situation.
I really feel like everybody should at least have enough food and water so they can make a plan even if that's just a few months.

Anyone have the video of rally members picking up trash at the capitol?
Things seem off

Push for the 25th or immediate impeachment
6.Odd military deployment

Listen there could be a good explanation for each and every one of these things. That being said if every there were signs of something, this would be it. It doesn't make sense for them to attack this way unless
a. They are trying to make things exponentially worse in the country (quite possible)
b. They are simply being vengeful
c. They are truly scared he is going to release information or make a move
Are we self-hosted or do we have self-hosting redundancy options in place?
We can easily get the money to do it from the members here I know I would gladly pay a few bucks a month to ensure that we're not wiped off the internet.
I feel as though this blatant misrepresentation and overreaction and this attempt to impeach Trump or invoke the 25th amendment and then this massive censorship is actually red pilling a lot of people.
Thoughts?
