As per the title, western press is starting to doom post about mass shortages of food and fuel in the coming months if the Epstein Coalition doesn't back down against Iran.

What if anything should we start stockpiling in anticipation of future shortages?

I already went through this at the very beginning of COVID. When China went into lockdown I was like, "well, they won't let us starve, right?" I was reduced to "my only hope for salvation is the Communist Party of China" which was a real mind-blower. It was exactly the same as Deep Space Nine's famous "root beer" scene. https://youtu.be/6VhSm6G7cVk

I should probably get around to watching Star Trek, mom was hella strict growing up and it was one of her explicit 'don't watch that tamagotchi' shows.

Did you starve? Western press at the time said people were sealed in their apartments using steel plates welded together and bolted to the walls, as millions starved and died of COVID in their apartments

Nah, for the first two weeks we got a pass that we could enter and leave our apartment complexes once every two days. Mandatory temperature checks but no supply disruptions. App delivery isn't what it is today so people still went shopping for food. We all were eating quite well, actually. Nothing to do all day but look forward to mealtimes and cook. Mealtime is always the best part of any incarceration, be it quarantine, hospitalization or airline trip.
