And To Think...We Used To Make Fun Of Russia For Empty Shelves At The Store...

Dont cash in your chips yet..I dont think youve "lost" nothing, yet.

Don't worry. I know how this game is played after a few "shortages". No mercy this time, unless you're a kid. If you just turned 18 and didn't have an option before I might cut you a break. If you're 35 and didn't see this coming, well.. shrug.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the Great Toilet Paper shortage of 2020 actually kicked off the Boog and we had to use all that guns, gear and ammo we've been hoarding because they came for our toilet paper.

How would we even explain that in history books. Yet, we've seen dumber things.

I still have the pile of PMags and aluminum BCM mags I bought in preparation for the 2016 election. I lost that gamble, but I still have my inventory.

I was on the edge of buying 1000 BCM or Browning mags in the fall of 2016 with the plan of reselling them for $10 more per mag. Not wanting to deal with the tire kickers and low ballers of the world and the hope of Trump winning kept me from pulling the trigger.

Some future rendition of The History Guy: "..... and it all started over, no shit, toilet paper!"

I know, but it's still an "odd moment" in the history of our country and one we were never intended to experience if you believe all the social indoctrination we received growing up. I mean how many aircraft carriers did we crank out in two years after Pearl Harbor? You saying we couldn't do that with toilet paper?

I saw an article or news blurb, something or other, about this. Apparently one of the factories that produces it burned a few months ago and they are just now getting back up to speed on it. Talk about Karma.

If I were "Charmin", I wouldn't ramp up shit. The production is adequate, and these f@#ktards aren't going to buy a roll for two years after this nonsense has passed.

That's the problem though, we still have f@#ktards buying up every bit they can regardless if they need it or not. Stores around here (I'd probably say in most places) have limited purchases to one per customer per day.

I'm good since I saw this coming and grabbed a large pack when the shelves were still stocked. I needed it anyway, but regardless, people are going Simple Jack over the toilet paper when it hits the aisles.

Actually, relatively few. Most of the Essex-Class Carriers launched before Dec. 1943 were ordered back in '40 and '41, and the gap between being laid down and commissioned is about 2 years. For escort carriers and the like, there was less of a lead needed, but the overwhelming might of US Naval production really didn't hit the water til mid to late '43 at the earliest, so about 2 years in. That's why after Coral Sea and Midway there was a distinct lack of carriers for supporting Guadalcanal.

Bringing this from Torpedoes to TP, it's the same thing; no one anticipated the sudden increase in demand. Even if Charmin decided to go into full War Time, butt wiping levels of production, it'll take some time for everything else in the logistics chain to shake itself out. Give it a few more months, and that may be the case. A few weeks? Yeah, not going to happen, especially not when our entire inventory system was based on "just in time" principals.

I’m sure these have been flying off the shelves as well.

People are focused on the toilet paper hoarding and that’s kind of silly and all, but the real issue is Mother’s who formula feed because they do not produce milk- people are buying up all the formula, not just what they need for a week or two and others are having trouble finding it.

We just had twins and my wife doesn’t have issues, but it got me thinking if for some reason her supply dried up or she got sick, what would we do? All the formula is being bought up as soon as it hits the shelf around here.

It’s still available online, but even waiting a day or two if you didn’t plan ahead could be really bad for some babies.

So We are pumping and freeezing milk. But it’s a long game to build a supply that would be viable for more than a few days due to how much milk two new borns need each day.

The toilet paper thing is a bit frustrating, but the formula hoarding is straight up messed up and kids will be malnourished because of it. ****ing people, man...
