(34,117 posts)No one stands guard over their potatoes (corn, beans, alfalfa, etc.). More frequently, you offer your spuds to the neighbors when they are short - and accept spuds from them when you are.

I grew up on a Virginia farm, Mr. Presidentour potatoes are fine. And as the only medical doctor among our nation's governors, I suggest you stop taking hydroxychloroquine.

(45,584 posts)Dude probably thinks potatoes come from the Irish sounding McDonalds because Virginia is not known for potatoes. That's Idaho, Oregon, and some other western states. And who the hell is stealing potatoes? Does he think we're going to have a famine soon?
And wingnuts have shared plenty of idiotic memes that they don't need to hoard any supplies other than guns and ammo, because they can use that to gently persuade everyone else to share. You know, since responsible gun owners are such law abiding citizens.

As a five year old kid not so much. I stabbed myself with a pitchfork at that age when digging for potatoes.
