Question is probably too late and I'm not much of a stockpiler, this is more for curiosity of what others are thinking about

I know for me, the Kirkland brand whiskey is surprisingly good and also Canadian so I may go today and pick up a bottle (or at least check the price)

Cars and car parts, electronics, and clothes look to be the top 3.

I'm kicking myself for not loading up on "other meat"

Avocados and tomatoes are sadly not stockpilable.

Please I bet most grocery store prices rise as of today due to them. Lot of business will take advantage of this. Raise prices blame the tariffs even though said products were bought and put in stock before they went into effect. Allows maximize profits.

Clearly Canadian

fucking hate elections

every four years we lose more rights or have less one way or another or our pay goes a little less every four years and it does not matter if Democrats or Republicans are in citizens are always losing something

only difference with Trump is the band aid is ripped off all at once instead over the course of four years

Do you really think this is as bad as it's going to get?

Right, both sides are the same! Best to just give up!

Goddamn right both sides

Best to pull a Martin Luther King Jr and fucking march on Washington DC in droves instead of dealing with more in fours years
