“Today’s youth is too far gone. There’s no changing that mentality until they each suffer that kind of loss, then they’ll understand how damaging their behavior is,” a user wrote.

Another user said, “Ahh, diversity. Imagine when things collapse, and the stores have nothing left. It’s coming.”

Some users never let the situation slide to share their quips. For instance, a user wrote: “I can’t believe nobody went for those scratch tickets. 😂”
