I think stores here actually have plenty (Costco literally built an entire aisle out of TP, and then mocked hoarders on social media), but they’re still limiting purchases to stop it from happening again. Milk and a couple of other things also have limits per customer. The one that actually got us was flour, though we only went a day or two before it started appearing again.

All deftly laid out in excruciating chilling detail–blame laid mostly at the feet of private equity fund kleptocrats–here (compiled by Threader), by someone well-known to many on this bbs:

Before it gets locked again, I’d like to point out that there IS another thread more appropriate to a lot of the OT posts here:

This topic is temporarily closed for at least 4 hours due to a large number of community flags.
I moved the OT posts. Discourse seems to have an issue with lots of flags keeping this thread locked, so it will just lock again right after I reopen it until @orenwolf or another mod cleans those flags up. Sorry, folks.
