    I don't worry about such seemingly inconsequential things. TP was in short supply. I don't know exactly why. It got a bit weird for a few weeks, but we managed. Do you have a point?

    I have a theory about “Seemingly inconsequential things.” Thank anyway.

    A shortage of TP in the stores is ultimately inconsequential. Are you trying to say that you were actually worried at that time? If so, you are a snowflake. I would expect more resilience from a fellow driver.

    Swing and a miss.



    And the previous generation wasn’t any better.

    Which example would you say is the best at being resilient?
    You managed to get through a weird time, right? Were you scavenging for toilet paper like the rest? You must be after the days of cloth diapers. There was no crisis, YET there was a crisis. Over toilet paper.
    Travel bans, full on lockdown, police not being sent out for “lesser crimes” which included armed robbery, family businesses being ruined. Toilet paper is what everyone was after. So, my question is, when you are triggered (controlled) do you know it?

    I know that my life was not substantially affected by a few weeks of TP being harder than normal to find. You are virtue signaling. TP shortage was made to appear to be a bigger issue than it really was. There were 0 people who lost their lives because of TP shortage, thus it was inconsequential. There were lots of real issues that came about from sheltering in place, but empty TP shelves was most definitely not one.
