"Uh, oh, tofu hell! I rather stave or eat the drywall."
Some of the TP hoarders may turn to their hoarded stash to assuage their hunger.

Civilization truly is a fragile thing. The electrical grid is susceptible to sabotage, the internet is vulnerable to being shut down, and our transportation industry is highly sensitive to fuel availability and price.
And we're never more than a few days away from anarchy when it comes to the food supply.
Rep. Thomas Massie is warning that the supply chain has been so disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic that we'll be seeing food shortages sometime in the next few weeks.
Washington Examiner:
Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie warned that the United States could face food shortages due to the “brittle” supply chain, bankrupting farmers and forcing them to euthanize livestock.
“We are weeks, not months, away from farmers euthanizing animals that would have been sold for meat/food. Also, fruits and vegetables are going to rot in the fields. A drastic change in policy this week could ameliorate this inevitability,” he tweeted Monday.
Massie shared an interview he did with a local radio show host for the tri-state area of Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky, during which he spoke about how the U.S. could see farmers going bankrupt and euthanizing cattle and hogs because meat processing plants have shuttered during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Isn’t this the same guy that tried to hold up the stimulus?”
Yep.
I’m starting to think this guy is one of these “Loose Change” troofer, conspiracy videos on YouTube are real types.
I disagree with the premise of this argument. But this is a good reason to open back up again.
“is this not exactly why the Michigan Governor, Halfwit,
made the selling of seeds illegal.”
I cannot understand that move, not at all.
Sprouting time is now. Many existing gardeners were ok on seeds, or got theirs in time, but newby reactionary gardeners will be late to plant.
There will next be runs on vegetable and fruit plantings, when MI stores are again allowed to sell them.
I hope the protest car caravan shuts Lansing down tight tomorrow. With lots of honking.
Some of the TP hoarders may turn to their hoarded stash to assuage their hunger.
Today’s scripts have been distributed. Big Media on the radio was VERY concerned about this early AM.
Support your local restaurant that is offering curbside right now!
“...the supply chain has been so disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic...”
Not so much the pandemic itself but rather many politicians reaction to it.
I was in a Walmart yesterday.
The food shelves were spotty, but they had a massive supply of toilet paper.
One can live without food, but TP is essential for life.
so killing off the economy will probably have the effect of thousands of deaths from other causes due to poor nutrition....
going to the store later today...buy what I can.....
“I cannot understand that move, not at all.”
Rats KNOW they are at war against all America stands for.
The seed companies are already out of many seeds... unless you want to live on cardoons and Jerusalem artichokes.
Another HUGE reason we need to reopen our country to commerce and let’s get back to work.
Actually we did yesterday. Mrs rktman was over the moon happy to NOT have to cook a home meal. A simple Sonic #1 with tots and a vanilla shake. LOL! Mmmm mmm mmmm mmm mmmm.
My husband is in the industry - just FYI, the reason that restaurants are still open, drive-through only, is to support the food chain and lighten the load on grocery stores.
This was explained by the WH in calls to food industry CEOs. These restaurants are essential services.
They are also required to wear masks. My husband had stockpiled N95 for his employees back during H1N1, but the CDC says they cannot wear those, they must be cloth. So he and thousands like him are trying to find sources for cloth masks for quick turnaround while waiting for corporate to provide a few million later this week,
Huh?
“Uh, oh, tofu hell! I rather stave or eat the drywall.”
Just found several places where mice have chewed through my drywall. Maybe it’s tasty?
Most Girbilists are not aware that food prepared by restaurants comes in bulk institutional packaging and can be prepared into meals in the home.
Back when we were raising children I fed the family on sixty dollars a month primarily preparing large quantities and keeping the freezer full of prepared dishes.
