It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

With all the recent news about the federal gov't #defunding various #research programs, it's interesting to note that while the U.S. produces the absolute largest volume of scholarly works per year, when adjusted by population size, it drops to just #13:
