Please tell me why people went crazy buying toilet paper?? What was the reason for this? I, nor my wife never bought anything other than normal groceries. Did people think the world was ending? Why toilet paper? I have to add, I live with
Because they're idiots with no common sense. Remember, you bought it, you're stuck with it!
But I really can't complain too much. Read the line of text beneath my handle. They're job security.
I thought they should have included in the stimulus package at least a free pack of toilet paper for each American. Like a 12 pack and you would get a voucher and go pick it up at specific pick up points. This would make it where we wouldn't be driving all around searching stores for it.
It's going to take a while for the stimulus money/checks to arrive, so with this they'd have time to set up this toilet paper
distribution. Maybe I should have gotten with the members of congress or maybe Trump or Pelosi. Yeah right!
I think there were several reasons stockpiled toilet paper.
When you are warned (early on, we were warned) that this virus might cause shortages as supply chains began to dry up, to stock up for a couple of weeks worth of stuff you might need...people did.
Then people were told if they caught the virus, you'd be quarantined for 2 weeks, in your homes. And so people bought more.
Then people were being told to shelter in place, to flatten the curve, and a LOT of companies have sent their employees home. So now you have all these people home, using their toilet paper at home (as opposed to doing their business at work) so MORE use for toilet paper at home.
And then whenever there's bad news, there are opportunists who take advantage of the situation and stock pile to extreme measures, and try to sale it back to the public at exorbitant prices.
We don't need toilet paper in our household yet. Probably not for another couple of weeks.
Add to it the kids are out of school in some states which equals needing more TP on hand.
I haven't hoarded TP. I bought some about 2 weeks ago; then got some last week. It goes faster with the 2 kids here, especially the 3 year old if we turn our backs on her. She can wipe 1/2 the roll out
[quote=ShouldIMoveOrStayPut...?;57667532]Relief is on the way. The President will likely enact his "Wartime President" powers to press Santa and his Elves into service to re-stock store shelves....
Maybe Credence Clearwater will re-band to send a message to the 60 plus crowd to shelter in place, not go out (especially at night) and avoid public restrooms in favor of their own in the home...

ANOTHER song on my COVID19 playlist. LOL
Along with "Don't Stand So Close to Me"
"I'm so Tired of Being Alone"
Doo Doo Doo Lookin Out my Backdoor"
The situation has really caught people coming and going...
We're both on a roll here... LOL
Adds new meaning to "Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door oh boy!"....
Exactly! LOL
