If you’ve got clothes to donate then you’ve got something to wipe a$$es with. Spend money and valuable cart space on canned foods and supplies

Welp, stress, fear, anxiety, and paranoia does cause violent diarrhea. Makes sense..

Doesn't mean she's a bad person or not talented.. Have a number of problems with the Sulzbergers. Among those, not being tough enough on Hitler, fearing the NYT would be perceived as a Jewish newspaper. I seen too much fake news. Some of my family was directly involved with.

RE: Metro Detroit stores sell out of toilet paper.
Been reading about all the panic buying going on - some reporters saying that many are buying three times as much as normal. I went to the store yesterday to get a few items and was amazed at the holiday level crowds. I had to go back today because I missed getting a couple of items. I've never seen so many totally empty shelves in a U.S. grocery store but I also wasn't one of the crowd that had gathered before the store actually opened this morning. Long lines. Now the stores are changing/shortening their operating hours so they have time to restock the shelves.

Why can't you find bottles of hand sanitizer or paper towels, etc.? Because of iceholes like this guy.....

He has 17,700 bottles of hand sanitizer and nowhere to sell them

Good for Amazon, eBay and others for suspending their selling accounts for price gouging. I have no problem with capitalists making money but hoarding and then charging outrageous prices for critical items during an emergency really pisses me off. I hope that chump has to eat all that product and ends up taking a loss overall.

I hit the local Meijer at 0300 Sat morning. Partly to try to get things that were sold out during the day as they were stocking - potatoes, onions right off the palette. And also to avoid the huge number of people in the stores. This is another reason the virus will spread. You can safely guess that your local Costco front door guy will get it.

Read about the hand sanitizer guy, he can eat a d!ck

Man, coming up on 1 year tomorrow when everything changed/cancelled.

We're all still dealing with it, of course. But last mid-March through April were just surreal, like straight out of dystopian novel.
