Salt Lake City has been hit really hard by panic buying. I have co-workers that cannot find toilet paper anywhere. I have 19 rolls at home. I didn't think I'd ever have to worry about not having access to toilet paper. That's just not a thing that occurred to me. And everything is getting locked down. Yesterday, the Fed had to inject 1.5 trillion into the bond market because no one was buying treasuries, usually a bedrock buy when people are seeking some kind of security, and the bond market was melting down. We have Emperor Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burns, only our Nero tells us that we don't have to worry about the fire. I feel like all of the calls are coming from inside the house and no one in charge gives a shit.
As far as the toilet paper thing goes, if I need more I have a lot of napkins in my car. Too bad there's no Sears catalog anymore like they used in the olden times.
crazy times! and i read your virtue signaling post, very appropriate and thought provoking. wish more people would read and understand. actions make the person!

Hey Mike - I'm relieved to have some toilet paper and paper towels at home, because there's been absurd panic buying in Denver too. Now if only I could find some buttermilk 'cause I want to make some Irish bread for St. Patrick's day!
There was panic-buying here too. But I think there was plenty of milk today in the stores. That's just the thing: cows haven't gone extinct and farmers still need to milk the animals. That milk has to go somewhere. I'm not sure why people are panic-buying the milk. It's not going away.
Will be thinking about you anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex, although my post was basically facetious.
DeleteHaha. I have a stuffed This is Fine Dog. Does he have a real name? Anyway I hope you have plenty of TP for your bunghole.
