“It is the end of the world,” someone chokes; there is a lull.
Stockpiling food for twenty years and toilet paper rolls,
But we’re all out—what do we do
Go out to Walmart, brawl with others like a zoo;
Then leave empty handed—outside, someone is selling them $100 per half roll!

These times remind us that being open to new thoughts can be useful.
Toilet paper can be many a thing, unneeded papers, soft leaves, newspaper, washable material squares with napisan in a bucket.
Good times for those who have what they need, but always wash your hands!

We live in a crazy world….where people think of themselves….What happened to the awareness? We surely live in the modern world with big ego, where we don’t think of others…narrow minded…shallow minded…

The world did not end in a bang or a whisper but rather one scream at a time.

Nice description of the me, me, me mentality that seems so presently pervasive. It is sad that we seem to
have lost our feeling of community and sharing.

Yes, I agree. It is very saddening and disheartening that this is our reality, especially during such crisis.

Yes, well I think we are on similar pages… if not sheets. I’ve gone for a triple-ply though.

I think there was a couple who made over seventy thousand dollars by reselling lysol wipes after buying large quantities of them. It’s crazy what has been happening.
