The toilet paper scare got everyone worried. Now it’s a food shortage. Can we stop this nonsense?

Let’s move on to GLOBAL Warming and of course Y3K.

It is completely real.

My wife and I made it a point to buy one of those big jumbo packs of toilet paper every time it came on sale, which seemed to be about every other week. During the worst of the shortage, we just went to our stockpile.

When the product came back in the stores about June, our stockpile was depleted enough that we bought one small pack. By July, we were back to sales about every other week. I work in supply chain and can tell you that the main, and possibly only, reason for the PPE shortage like masks and hand sanitizer what that the government was rerouting everything to hospitals.

If you remember Radar O'Reilly on the old M*A*S*H episodes, that was me a few months ago bartering supplies our plant had in surplus with other places, including hospitals, which has more PPE than they could possibly use because the government decided to do the rationing. We made the necessary exchanges without much fuss or fanfare.

Now that Fedzilla has stepped back, it is no longer part of my job and our supply sources are cutting prices on PPE.
