A conversation I had went something like this:

So, I went and bought canned foor for a week.

Yeah, you guys should not buy too much flour, It will just spoil and you'll throw it away.

I said nothing about flour. I said canned food.

Some guy had bought half a ton of food. They saind it on news. You guys are crazy...

No, I bought food FOR A WEEK.

You guys are just crazy... It is pointless to buy half a ton of flour.

Wow. The news did a number on the sheeple. I seriously cannot believe how simple-minded tunnel vision can some people have.
