80. If we were talking food, medicine, water or other life necessities

Sun Mar 15, 2020, 10:00 AM

Mar 2020

Then it would be an issue.

Making a big deal out of TP is the very definition of a silly issue. This shortage is not caused by people buying 20 cases of TP. It’s that everyone is buying all at once.

With all the things we have going on the last thing I want our leaders nagging us about is the unfairness of how Americans wipe their asses.

This is a first world problem.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
