Because liberals are FOS.
Can’t find yeast. Can’t figure that one out. Bread is plentiful and freezes well.
Publix has none ...again.
No commercial TP available at coscto.com either.
People were still working when the hoarding started and tp was one of the first items.
Please report yourself to humblegunner.
I was at the store and score another 12 pack. A guy next to me put four 12 packs in his cart plus some kleenix.
Maybe he has a big family or is reselling at a big profit?
I prep’ed quiet well in the TP area of the last two years. I and my family am good for a while.

My conspiracy is the run on tp and paper towels was intentional. They chose water, tp, paper towels and hand sanitizer. The first three are the targets the sanitizer just makes it legit.
How do you create the vision there is a shortage, you empty the shelves. The paper isle, comparatively, has very little inventory and it’s cheap. This also applies to the water aisle. You get a few photos of an empty paper isle for the news and viola a few people panic and all of a sudden there are empty shelves all over place. The system couldn’t replenish this physical volume quick enough before the hoarding began. It’s self perpetuating.
It's an obsession with some people.
As for me, I have every James A. Michener book ever written in my library and I've only read a few. Hawaii, Texas, Alaska, Space and Source. All the others I have not yet read. Is it worth reading the others? I do not know. I'm rather tired of Michener's writing formula.
If you like Mitchner you’ll enjoy this book, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Land_Remembered.
I’ve read it twice.
I can’t remember Publix running out of water even in hurricane season. But they’ve been running low on a lot of stuff since the panic started. Strange times we live in.
I might like that one.
Among Western Canadian working folks back in the day, that was known as “taking a CPR crap”.
It’s a great read. I am partial to it because I spent my teen years tromping around the wild interior areas of South and Central FL.
If this is the “Best Explanation” for toilet paper shortage then how do you explain Johnny Carson’s joke about a toilet paper shortage?
Good riposte.
So, easy solution: Have the commercial manufacturers start distributing to stores for household consumption since that’s where the demand is. Luxury is not high on my priority list when I got to go.
