I've got an elderly mother-in-law with gastrointestinal issues. We're down to a few days supply.
I didn't go out and buy 100 rolls of TP a week ago, because I tried to be sensible. There was no real reason to stress out about it.
But if stupid people keep screwing around, she's gonna have problems. And so will the people hoarding it, she already got a phone call from someone trying to flip some TP. They needed to get the cash because they couldn't buy food or pay rent. They'd spent their savings on TP, planning to profiteer and take advantage of other people, but it wasn't working out well for them.
And your response to stupid profiteering, and the problems caused, is "we all laughed"? Are you going to stand in front of Almighty God and explain why you laughed at someone trying to do the right thing?
