Not weird if you apply this theory:
The govt. has been stockpiling every type of goods and storing them for a future day in which they will be distributing these things under a soft totalitarian regime. Has to be part of their strategy for shifting to digital fiat I figure. It fits perfectly with Blackrock's scooping up of more and more of the housing market.
At some point the govt will own most land, most homes, most consumer goods, and all the bullets that have not already been bought. They will control all the food, all the water, and all the money.
Patriots, if you are not willing to arrest these foreign occupiers and take back control of the country, then you ought to consider leaving while you still can. I'm being blunt.
