They are gonna get scarce and therefore more expensive.

People read things like that and rush to buy them before they can't get them (even though they don't need them). The rushed demand cause them to become scarce.
So just don't do anything. I was just trying to help but on reflection I don't really care that much. I use a lot of 123 batteries for flashlights and weapon sights so the stuff I am buying will be used unless I die first, as will the food and other stuff. And just because "people read things like that" doesn't make any difference if you can't find things you need. The reason they are in short supply doesn't matter.
When my next door neighbor/buddy found out I had bought a bunch of 123 batteries a few years back, he wanted to know if he could buy some from me. (Just like my .22 rounds and other ammo when things got tight.) A bunch of past gunshows we had went to, he/they were always focusing on buying the latest greatest firearm. I'd be searching for and running down magazines and ammo.
What killed me is that he wanted to buy at what I had paid, not what it would take to replace.
Uhh............................................................................................no.
Mogley, I'd be proud to share a can of SPAM with you. (After you left, we'd bust out the Steaks.) 😉
Rocky Brother, I have been stocking up for many years, because it seemed to be the proper course of action and prudent. I have not started "stocking up because some bozo on the internet said to."
Conduct yourself as you see fit. All I know, is that I am prepared for most anything that comes, and that is a good feeling.
What- the copper tubing? Emergency plumbing repairs. Yep, plumbing. Never know when you might spring a leak.
