OT: Lock-Down

ess.

I've seen reports online that the largest Pork processing company in the United States was shutting operatins at many of their plants, due to too m any sick employees. The Smithfield brand is doing the same. BTW, it is owne d by a Chinese company, by that report.

k, and less limitations. I am starting to find the foods that I need to kee p my Glucose level in check, as well.Everything but Toilet Paper and Paper Towels. I would hate to see the hoarders houses. What a fire hazard!

If you give it a little thought you will realize there are no hoarders, or very few I suspect. If you normally buy a pack of toilet paper every two w eeks and now out of concern you buy one when you don't really need it just yet, it doesn't take many people doing that to have an impact on the stock in the stores.

The supply chain is set up to handle an even supply rate. Raise demand by just a very few percent and stores run out of stock.

Then there is the issue of buying to last a couple of weeks rather than one week. That hits the inventory even harder!

So don't assume there's more than a very few people who are actually buying large quantities of much. Milk was out last time I bought it. Not becaus e people are hoarding, but because people are buying for two weeks or longe r.

Once the supply chain has a chance to catch up it will be back to normal.

Some good comes of this. I usually get 2% milk. I had to buy 1% and found I don't notice the difference.

I've been seeing those reports too. I expect we will all be a little bit b etter off not eating as much meat.

Impossible!! :)

It started a month ago, in case you haven't noticed. Stores around here had strict limits of one of an item, so how can you buy two weeks worth?

If you actually could think, after two weeks there wouldn't have been any e mpty shelves if you were correct.

I personally saw eight people in a row with one or two carts full of toilet paper and a few of paper towels being pushed towards the checkout at Sam's Club when this started.

There was a news story yesterday about som hoarder trying to return over 10

He forgot where his neighbor parked his cow!

Another Phil Allison, unable to discuss a topic without tossing insults.

Well, try stuffing this into your decrepit brain. Week 1, few shoppers can get enough for two weeks so milk runs out. Week 2, other shoppers get eno ugh for two weeks, but still not all. Week 3, week 1 shoppers return along with remaining shoppers who didn't get two weeks worth and there is still a shortage.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I still think just fine even without milk.

It is pretty insane to stock up so much on paper products like that. I do have to wonder what is different about your world that there are so many th ings you personally witness that few others ever see.

Still, they aren't shopping at my grocery store, so they didn't cause any e mpty shelves. People are pretty civilized around here.

I stand by my statements that most of the empty shelves are caused not by h oarding, but by most people just buying a little more than usual.

That's not technically hoarding. That's profiteering.

Still, in the grand scheme of things they are in the noise. I just don't d well on the absurdities of people unless I am faced with them on a daily ba sis like Larkin.

Why do you let trivial matters like this bother you? I haven't heard of an yone having to use the Sears catalog in the bathroom. If they do it's prob ably because they live near too many assholes and need to move.

r 1000 rolls of toilet paper and 150 Liters of hand sanitizer in Australia. Ebay has closed the accounts of a bunch of greedy assholes who were listin g a package of four rolls for $50. (Plus shipping) Even some Chinese compan ies have offered 12 rolls fr $50, shipped from China. Ebay closed the accou nt of a pair of brothers who were hoarding 17,000 bottles of Hand Sanitizer that they tried to list at many times the normal price.

anyone having to use the Sears catalog in the bathroom. If they do it's pr obably because they live near too many assholes and need to move.

Of course, you have NEVER changed the subject or called people names as you repeatedly post your BS.

When was the last time that you even saw a Sears Catalog? How about Montgom ery Wards? This is more of you deflecting, when you can't back up your lame stories.
