the JJ posted:Its basically a bank run. Someone panic bought TP, that idea went viral, now the rational thing to do is go out and buy TP before all the idiots hoard it. Which means that the TP starts to run out. Which means... It's because of this. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51527043 bbc posted:
Word got around that a place with the virus had TP shortages and robberies because of it and welp.

Trump's personal physician lied about his height and weight, so I don't believe a word of it. Same goes for Bolsanaro; it's all irresponsible posturing.

If you're fortunate enough to live near a Wegmans, they are closing early every night at ten to clean and restock. They are also capping certain items so people can't horde them. Which I appreciated because it allowed us to actually buy paper towels and some canned goods. https://www.wegmans.com/covid-19-response/ My wife and I went last night, got most of what we needed, and then went back this morning at another location to get the remainder of what we couldn't get the night before. Only thing that we couldn't get are tortillas (which makes me sad cause my wife makes loving fantastic burritos). Also people were being surprisingly decent. We went into a Costco right when they opened while our car was getting serviced and that poo poo was beyond stupid. Only good thing we saw is that they finally had staff physically limiting the number people on TP and paper towels which was nice.

My mom works part-time for Wegmans and they told her not to worry about coming into work because of her age and the fact she had a cold last week.

Someone refresh my memory, but wasn't there a toilet paper shortage in Venezuela a while back, and all the usual idiots were saying that that was definitive proof that socialism is bad?

And that shows you their moral framework - having money means that you're a good person who makes good choices. If you don't have money, you're bad and therefore deserve to die.

In a surprise turn, the WaPo has this article about how Trump’s press conference on Friday was the result of effective management of the situation by Jared Kushner. Lol no jk Kushner and Trump have been loving this up horribly. quote:
And this is probably the most sympathetic part of the entire article, it only goes downhill from here.

It's kinda an islam thing that you bury the dead quickly. Within 24 hours would be generally the standard. Unless you're a divisive general, then they cart you up and down city streets for a week. Our way of keeping a body on ice and viewing it a week later with a bunch of chemical preservatives keeping the smell back might be a little backwards in comparison.

Slim Pickens posted:People are doing the same with ammo. It's getting harder and harder to find 9mm range ammo, just the expensive self-defense and match stuff in limited quantities. 5.56 was on it's way to clearing out at the Bass pro I was in as well. I tried to do some grocery shopping today, went to a King Soopers (a Colorado Kroger) and the local Walmart. Both were completely wiped of canned goods, eggs, tp, produce section mauled, etc. While in the wally world, I was like ehh well, maybe I ought to grab a box of buckshot shells, y'know, just in case things get real weird The food all being gone stopped bumming me out after I went to the HMart and finally got some vegetables and eggs (meat still gone), but seeing the 12ga man-loads fresh out and the birdshot left behind is still spooky to me We're closer to the edge than anyone wants to admit

El Mero Mero posted:yeah you know what we deserve this Basically, we as a country rediscovered a cache of Four Loko and pounded that poo poo over the course of three years. You know, the old school Four Loko that tasted like rear end, but it had caffeine in it so we could drink all night and drive home back home, fully alert. For about three years, we dodged the cops and trees through pure luck. Sure, we crashed into that signpost in Puerto Rico, but nobody really noticed that poo poo because the sign was vaguely brown and nobody really knew if it was there or not. We've finally hit that tree, but we're still drunk/amped enough to not know it.

They're hidden away on a neighborhood corner surrounded by strip mall garbage, so it's easy to ignore just driving by. They still had all the usual panic food when I went by yesterday. The Walmart neighborhood market out on Academy though, that place looked like a disaster area, but still had plenty of crap this afternoon. Every pallet coming from the back was going to the pharmacy area though, and those shelves were pretty bare.

There's a definite correlation between dumbass white people and raids on toilet paper and other daily goods. I don't understand it other than as an aspect of white privilege, because they've never had anything that might possibly impact them before.
