This pandemic demonstrates how important grocery stores and supermarkets are to society.

It’s basically the thread holding everything together now. If grocery stores and supermarkets started closing, then the shite will really hit the fan.
I never really thought much about it before or realized how fragile our society is.

Or power plants, or utilities, or medical care.
And all the supply chains that support those places. Ultimately it all goes back to farmers. The overwhelming majority of this country cannot feed themselves, and the industrial farmer is the only reason we can support this population.

As known by everyone who doesn't produce the vast majority of their own food.

Our society is only a few weeks away from collapse at any given time if all essential services/businesses were closed.
True collapse due to emp would bring us to mad max in a hurry. Once this corona bullshite dies down my emergency prep is getting a boost. Will neve be caught with less than 2 months supplies again.

So the store where most people get all of their essentials is essential to our way or life? Imagine that

The average American’s perspective of humanity and what it and they are capable of is clouded by their full bellies, water on demand, and places to live. Because we’ve not done without those things we have no real perspective of what man is capable of when denied those things. They are the absolute most critical things in life. Let yourself come in between them and their very survival or worse yet, the survival of their kidsl, and you had better be well armed and ready to protect yourself and the shite of yours they need because it won’t be pretty, and you’re nothing more than a hurdle in their way.

Wait, food and food supply are crucial to our society?

I think this is a good example for people to see what socialism looks like. Empty shelves, limits on what you can and can't buy even if it is there, etc.
This is craziness to most of us. It's a very small glimpse into the reality of socialism. And, like you said, once government controls access to food, they control everyone. The power that comes with that is unlimited.
There are a ton of young people who are on this hip socialist bandwagon who really need to reconsider their stance.

Agro-terrorism along with biological is the one that's been scaring me the most for years.

Since the stone ages man has known he needed food to survive.

Yep.
That and supply chain management and resilience. A lesson the gulf coast learned after Katrina and other storms.
We can’t source everything from China - especially critical medical equipment. Some of it needs to be manufactured within our borders and some needs to be stockpiled just like oil.

It also shines a light on how beautiful capitalism is. Not being able to buy products and empty shelves is an everyday occurrence for many people in this world while us Americans are used to the exact opposite.

Some folks laugh at people with extra fridges/freezers. We aren’t scrambling for things at grocery store I can tell you that.
