This has given me a new rule to live by though
1. Don’t be that guy who runs for a train
2. Never trust a man with a moustache
3. Alway have a blocker picked out when walking around the CBD to intercept the Charity sign ups
4. Don’t be the guy snapped with a trolley load of toilet paper

The virus just touched down in the shire. Send me your thoughts and prayers. If someone could spare a square that'd also be appreciated.

For me, the absolute worst case outcome of this is Nickman showing up looking for somewhere to stay.

Are you sure that’s the worst case outcome mate ?

Even with the imminent bankruptcy of the TR empire, and the prospect of moving my family to live under a bridge....yes, I think I'll stick with my original answer.

So worst case is Nickman living under the same bridge as you.

I’ve been watching Peaky Blinders T_R. If the empire goes down, I’ve got your back. We can start an underground TP smuggling business. I’ll take care of NSW, and I’ll smuggle some to the Qld border when you can take over.

All I need to do is get someone inside Quilton, and have them ditch a pallet somewhere

You'd think that, but he looks so warm and cuddly.... I dunno. Might be nice in the winter.

I was thinking of more of a Breaking Bad scenario, but your idea is better.

That’s the polite way of putting it.

There's probably always been a herd mentality... but worryingly, it seems that, increasingly, there are people who seem to revel in rejecting expertise, knowledge and facts and rely on misinformation, simply because that conforms to some unfortunate belief systems. As soon as you hear the terms "fake news" or "politically correct" you know you're in that territory.

Absolutely greeneyed.

The fall of listening to experts has a lot to answer for.

Common sense was never particularly common. But I think the internet has made it near extinct. Everybody being able to look up the answer seems to be destroying the capability for people to think through what a sensible first approximation of an answer is.

This scenario is fairly straight forward. Initial some people went into Doomsday Prepper mode and stocked up on toilet paper. Media reports it showing some loaded trollies and empty shelves. Now the general population is terrified of not having toilet paper so they many more are chasing it.

We'll be in the same boat by the end of the week. I'm hoping the panic starts to drop off by then. Problem is we'll all need some toilet paper before too long.

Spot on. At some point “I have a right to my opinions” has evolved to “My opinions are worth as much/more than facts”

It’s the beginning of the idiocracy age.

The toilet paper outage also happened during the Brisbane flood. I couldn't understand it at the time. Wet toilet paper is of no use to anyone.

That's because everyone was looking for dry stuff and many areas couldn't get stock. Straight forward supply and demand issue. This is purely about demand going beserk.

The initial initial scenario was some mums group on Facebook posted a post that originated in Japan about a shortage of supply as it's all manufactured in China.

Now hysterical people don't do research to know most of Australia's supply is manufactured in Australia.. but by the point reason came to the party it was too late

Already out mate. The indian / mexican cultural festival was a solid success. Well not really solid but you get the idea. A ripping good time as it were.

Completely irresponsible in the current environment.

Um no. This was in the 24-48 hours leading up to the floods, when we knew that there would be flooding, and who would be effected. This was in areas that were never going to be flooded. It was straight up panic buying.

Share market in free fall. Recession looming and toilet paper is the concern.

Don't recall any of that. I do know bottled water sold out because of risks about supply being affected. We had bigger concerns at the time anyway.
