I went to 2 different wally worlds in Siloam springs yesterday to get tp. Shelves were depleted. Had to buy what was avail, only 1ply and 1 pack of Charmin at the last one.
Anyone else seeing empty tp shelves? Paper towels were not empty like tp tho.
Saw this last week in NH prior to the port strike ending. People were filling their cars with it, isles empty. They can’t understand that we don’t import TP.
They were creating a shortage that didn’t exist by doing the panic buying.
Fear based decision making rarely ends well.
It is ignorant to think that way. If I was worried about shortage I would stock up on food. Paper would be the very LAST thing I would worry about. There are so many ways around that issue.
Seriously, if you don’t have food the other end don’t matter! Also TP is a fairly recent invention, we’ve survived without it but not without food and water.
But if it is available, why resort to leaves and twigs if you don’t have to?
Anyone who knows a little about the average intelligence and human nature of people knew TP, and other things would be hoarded by those afraid of the Port strike and weather events….
If someone isn’t always prepared for the SHTF….you should be.
So buy 5% extra stuff and build up your preps over time without screwing over everyone else?
