Looting would have prevented these losses. Sure, the shop owner would still lose, but the community as a whole would win. And then they'd support the shop owner.

If that is really a problem, you might want to look up your local AA group.

Clearly, we Farkers need to mobilize a booze delivery to our fellows on the coast.

Just don't tell the Feds. They're 'gifts'.

People always loot storefronts, but I'm a big believer that if you're going to loot, go for a distribution warehouse. You get way more of the good stuff.

Are there people that need to go to the liquor store every day rather than every other day?

I always get a chuckle out of the east coasters that call me whenever there's a tremor here in California...

"OMIGOD!!! I could NEVER live in California with ALL of those EARTHQUAKES!!!"

Settle down, Bertha.... I'll take a tremor or two here in Cali while the rest of you east coasters live with that continually farked up weather you have to deal with.

I laughed so hard at this I almost pooped my pants. But then, while holding my laugh in, I borrowed my neighbour's pants and pooped in them. Fu-unny headline, subby!

Oh FFS. It's not like you've been exiled to Antarctica. If it's that important, drive to farking Maryland or PA.

...But they've also rationed the gas!!

/I say we build a wall around the place while there's still time.

Quick! Legalize cannabis!

And just cancel Thanksgiving so your ungrateful, resource sucking family members don't come over and drink it all.

/every man for himself!

Looking at the comments on TFA, always amazes me how many people take a non-political article and use it to bash the President. How miserable it must be to have to inject politics in everything.

/yea, kind of just like I did

Didn't the Boy Scouts teach these people to "be prepared"?

FTA: If somebody drinks Grey Goose, you can't replace with Smirnoff or Ketel One 
 
Oh, FFS.  I get that people need their liquor.  I sure do.  But come on.
