And toilet paper sells were significant.... What is it about dumb primates that are obsessed with killing and a cleaned bum?

Oh yeah, people were going crazy about the toilet paper. Was anyone even running low on it to begin with?

I was running low because i usually do a costco run every few months to get a large pack.

All of a sudden there's a run in toilet paper and i can't get off work to go stand in line to get any.

It was a bit ridiculous. Like everyone needed to make sure they could wipe their ass for the next 9 months.

This is what I am saying, everybody collectively deciding to stockpile for months at a moment's notice creates an artificial demand and scarcity which makes otherwise cheap items increase in value
