Stores stock up as new COVID restrictions go into effect

As more coronavirus restrictions are set to begin Friday in Philadelphia, there seem to be fewer paper products on the shelves of stores.

Under no circumstances should you run to the shop if you really do not have an immediate and urgent need to make a purchase of this or that product. Statements by officials or MSM prostitutes are intended to create a frenzy. No one reports such things to the public in the event of a real deficit. There is no point in reporting a deficit if it is really a deficit! The goods will be sold out anyway. And everyone can see a deficit when there is one.

Such reports are somewhat understandable if, as the deficit is reported in the media, there are also reports about a set of measures taken by the government to ensure that citizens are supplied with a specific product evenly: for example, the introduction of food stamps. But when it is simply announced that you must either buy now, or tomorrow it will not be possible, it is clear that it's only about creating a frenzy of crazed buyers and nothing else. To the delight of producers and sellers. We have already seen it this year. In the past, this happened many times, too.

Such provocative statements have another side goal - to disperse and humiliate people, and to create panic among the population, in other words, demoralise. And sometimes this side goal is more important for the the authorities than the rush to sell some goods.

This year in April, as we all remember, the population was divided and humiliated by an artificially created deficit. And it wasn't done so that the population swept away everything - it was probably a secondary thing, but so that the people would get divided, fighting and quarelling with each other. And even if there were no arguments, they would still feel humiliated standing in queues, lose respect for themselves, especially if they stood in long queues in order to buy something. Then, as everybody remembers, supermarkets got miraculously filled with goods again, as if there was no shortage at all (there really wasn't, because we are in the middle of the crisis of overproduction). But empty shelves played their role - the population in spring wasn't very active in resisting the coronavirus terror and was more or less calmly swallowing all the heresy that the "national" government poured out of all its mouths on it.

Some people panicked, losing the ability to adequately assess real threats and challenges and distinguish them from the imaginary. All of this is very important, psycologically. This is the most important trick right now. The opposing class prepares and disorients its victim before it strikes a decisive blow.

The demonstration of empty shelves on all channels - "deficit hysteria" - has taken its rightful place in the coronavirus scam. It is an absolute and integral part of it. The bourgeoisie will continue to resort to deficit as an effective means of demoralising people, and it is necessary to be able to see it in time and react accordingly so as not to get tricked.

The only worthy and effective solution to the "expected" disappearance of "toilet paper" and such from the shop shelves is striking and protesting against the authorities that are artificially creating panic.
