Every time I go into Target (which isn't too often) there are empty shelves. My local Family Dollar struggles to keep some items in stock on a consistent basis. Everybody should be prepared for going without food/water for an extended period of time, but what is going on now is another episode of Project Fear.
In response to that last comment, there are already restrictions to free speech. Plus, that's more in line with "freedom of the press". Where FS is more on in the scope of an individual citizen, FP essentially relates to publishers. It's illegal for citizens to yell "fire". IIRC, the reasoning is to maintain the severity of the word, as well prevent mass riot and panic. It seems reasonable the same should be applied to FP when evidence proves the intentional misleading of the masses.
The issue is, that's something that could, ironically enough, be easily used as a weapon to silence truth as it's dynamic in its application. Not being allowed to yell "fire" is static. It's precise and leaves no room for misinterpretation or weaponization. Dynamically applicable laws do, though. There's ultimately nothing wrong with simply starting a conversation and asking the question of whether or not something is reasonable. It's the implementation thereof that truly matters.
It could easily be something that sounds good on paper, but will never work due to human nature, which is where I currently lie on the matter. An example of how I see it playing out is if it were currently in place, then it would be used to shutdown those speaking truths about the holocaust. Similar thing happened in that trial in Germany with some guy years ago where the judge said something to the extent of "Everyone knows it happened" and then just dismissed the case or whatever without any evidence. The upside is it could potentially be used to redpill people on topics the media is discussing, but seeing as the media would need to report it in the first place, it wouldn't happen often. Yeah, I feel as if significantly more bad than good would come from trying to implement something like that.
Try and find N95 respirators right now and they're either ridiculously expensive or wiped off the shelves. 99% of the carts leaving Costco have water and toilet paper. People are preparing for something.

Free speech protects your expression, it doesn't protect you from the ramifications.
Edit:
Case in point: I am free to make my expression and you guys are free to downvoat me to oblivion. The problem occurs when systematic ramifications are enforced. The best ramification is social ostracization, the worst is arresting for hatespeech. You may hate what someone says but even though the evil hateful nazis speak mean things they may in fact be correct and the points they are protesting may need to be addressed.

Good morning Hungry Buns IT'S A BRAND NEW DAY! I'm sorry monkey tits I promised you 5 a.m. And it's almost ten to six. (That's when the little hand is on six and the big hand is on ten). Maybe you can teach that to your little half breed nigglet. We're all so proud of you! Lol. What should we do today? I think my degenerate homosexual friends are planning on blasting you into negative numbers today haha. I only wish I could watch.I forgot HUNGRY BUNS, I'm having lunch with my brother and mother this afternoon but don't worry, WE HAVE HOURS AND HOURS TILL THEN HAHA. I'm so glad I met you HUNGRY BUNS! I haven't had this much fun in a while, it can get boring without you to tell us all about AIDS and...hey, you do spend an awful lot of time thinking and talking about us gay men. What's up with that? I still think I might of inadvertently fooled around with that loser you're supposedly married to but that's unlikely, I'm just not into gross guys. I likes muh men sexy like @PhxSunlight lol. Yeah I think he might've gotten tired of your stretched out twot and came to a gay guy, like sooooo many straight guys do to get some decent head or a nice tight lay. Ok HUNGRY BUNS, I'm going to grab a little java, maybe a nice gay latte lol. Don't worry sweetie, we have hours and hours to play, JUST YOU AND ME! (And your new boyfriend nakeFOOZ HAHAHA

Anything manufactured in China won't be restocked as fast as usual once the store depletes its backstore inventory.

I really want to watch this virus thin the urban herds, but at the same time it is made in China;; so it may break down before it has the chance.

Almost as bad as the panic leading up to WWIII with Iran.

The story is in picture form which was posted to r/Conservative - the comment section had the... well.... comment.
So I stuck them both together and uploaded it.
(just wanted to clarify, in case it looked like I stuck two irrelevant things together)
