Exactly.
Good observation.
It’s been a busy few days with the world continuing it’s collision course with destiny.
Apologies for blowing up pinglists - but this one should get your attention. I didn’t believe it myself until I went to PetCo the other day and saw the same sign.
PM me if you wish to be added/removed for the End Times Ping List.
God Bless!
Inflation is coming...
It sure is...
BTTT.
Two weeks ago when Texas went into panic mode again toilet paper disappeared from the shelves within hours
There IS a "coin shortage" working its way through our system right now. It started 4-6 weeks ago, and can be attributed to three main factors:
1. One or more U.S. mint facilities have been shut down intermittently due to COVID-19 infections in recent months.
2. Banks have modified their branch operations to minimize human contact, focusing only on essential bank transactions. Customers exchanging coins is far from a top priority for banks.
3. Many grocery stores have shut off their CoinStar and similar coin-exchange machines as a precautionary measure to minimize handling of coins.
This idiotic conspiracy-mongering nonsense gives FR a bad name.
I conduct most of my transactions with Tide Detergent ;-)
Proof that much of the nation has no cents.
Kroger is handing out flyers announcing the shortage as well.
I have saved all of the spare change that I have at the end of the day and put whatever is in my pocket into a 5-gallon water jug. I have several of these jugs. In the winter, when I get bored, I sort through the change and find all pennies prior to 1982 and put them in a separate container. I separate nickels much the same way and dimes I check to make sure that I keep the silver dimes. I keep quarters, especially the 1976 coins. I was a big fan of the Bi-Centennial and have fond memories of those quarters.
I think that it is time to go hit up the local bank for some coin rolls and see if I have any problems.
The toilet paper "shortage" was real, too. It wasn't a psy-op even though it wasn't really a shortage at all.
What happened with toilet paper is that supply chains got completely disrupted when people and businesses changed their behavior under COVID-19 restrictions. According to the last report I heard, before the COVID-19 fiasco, 38% of the toilet paper used by the typical American was used outside the home -- i.e., at work, at school, at restaurants, etc.
Once those other places outside the home were shut down, that 62% of the toilet paper supply that had previously been sold at grocery stores and convenience stores suddenly became almost 100%. To this day there are probably wholesale distributors of paper products with mountains of inventory of toilet paper, napkins, etc. -- but they couldn't sell them because the office buildings and retail stores who were their major customers were shut down.
You don't fix supply-chain disruptions like this overnight.
Everyone was so concerned about the coronavirus second wave that they forgot about one tiny detail: The US never flattened the curve from the first wave of COVID-19 infections and now case numbers are skyrocketing.
Unfortunately, we all know where this is going and If you’re smart, you’ll stock up on certain essentials now — like best-selling coronavirus face masks and Purell hand sanitizer — so you’re not left scrambling when things get bad again.
Many people don’t need to read the CDC’s recommendations to know that they need to wear face masks when they go outside. You also know you need to use hand sanitizer whenever you touch a surface or object in public. You know you need to sanitize things in your home and office with disinfectant wipes all the time (Purell wipes are in stock right now at Amazon at elevated prices if you’re running low and in dire need). Not everyone is as smart or as cautious as you though, and there will likely be supply shortages in the coming weeks and months. Do you want to deal with another rush on essentials? No, of course you don’t. That’s why you should definitely stock up now, and here you’ll find five key things you’d be wise to load up on.
The five items are toilet paper, masks, hand sanitizer, gloves, and paper towels.
Here we go again.
Supply, demand....People were hoarding TP. That’s why it “disappeared” from shelves. There were big cutbacks in coin mintage during the Great Recession. There are fewer of them out there. I’m sure a lot of people just threw their change in jars when the economy improved. Locally, I’ve only seen one sign. Another store will give me rolls of coins pretty much any time I ask for them.
Not everything rises to the level of grand conspiracy, even if it did happen when Odunga was in office
How can we go cashless? Wouldn’t that require a bank account, and an ID, which we all know is racist?
Toilet paper shortage. Coin shortage. If you thought these were bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet. You heard it here first: there will be a food shortage.
Take a moment to do an image search of Venezuelan supermarkets. Then imagine that’s what your local grocery store will look like. Empty shelves. No meat, bread, milk, produce. Soon.
How could this happen? Ask your local democrat officials and see how they would benefit from such a shortage. Anything to steal the election.
Easy to fix. If something is $3.49, simply round it down to #3.00. The stuff that’s $3.50 or higher gets rounded up and will offset the rounded down things. Sheeeesh! Even dave ramsey coulda figured that out.
