Local woolies has given up on putting bog roll and paper towel on the shelves, just leaving it palletized in the aisle. I'm sure the vultures are picking them clean at an alarming rate regardless.

One positive I did note was they had signs up limiting customers to one load of bog roll, one pack of paper towel and one box of tissues per customer/per transaction.

Quite hilarious watching the self-serve checkout staff have confrontations with shoppers wanting to buy bulk amounts of everything and the customers cracking tantrums.

It comes down to people being sheep. First they thought it was made in china(its not) and supply would run dry. Then people started to see the shelfs emptying so that created a blow back and other people started buying more and more. Then the media blew it up creating a bigger blow back so people think there is a toilet paper shortage even though there is not and everyone is trying to buy it.

Toilet paper is big and bulky and takes up a lot of space. Stores only have what they need for the day on hand so whilst it looks like the shelfs are bare there was only about 150 or so packets on the shelf to begin with. 150 packets of toilet paper takes up more space than the equivalent in canned goods so people see the big empty shelfs and wig out.

Everyone in the country is trying to buy toilet paper at the sametime. Imagine if everyone goes to the bank and try to withdraw their currency at the sametime as happend in Greece and India. The banks do not have nowhere near enough on hand to give to everybody.

A worry is people using anything but dunny paper and clogging their toilets particularly and sewers generally.

Its not the disease that worries me its the satanic like behavour of the people. I have been preparing for this day to come for years and its only going to get worse. Anyone that does not have at least 6 months minimium of provisions in their home is a fool. The lockdowns are coming soon and so will the roaming street gangs.

The globalists are using this as a test case to take away peoples liberty. Now the governments are starting to control peoples freedom of movement and dictate when are where you can move about in society.

When this disease passes a new one will be relased in a few years time and they will strip away more rights in the name of “public saftey” and we will have lost the ability for all independent freedom of movement and association. People adapt to oppression overtime at low doses of oppression. This is all part of satans plan for world domination.

Bravo mate, people here may call you a crazy bustard but I agree with you and do likewise regarding preps.

Hmm interesting, but there is a defence, in India and Greece pepple actually had cash in the bank. In Australia "most people" have credit card debts, mortgages and other loans. So while they might be able to pull their $500 most would have a few magnitudes of that of loans to pay.

Doesn't say what their average debt is... so researched and a very in-depth article comes up.. rather scary as well. lets say on average every household is made up of one male and one female than their savings is 56k and debt is nearly 170k.

In 2015-16, around three quarters (74%) of households held debt, and the average household debt of all households was $168,600. The most common form of debt was credit card debt, held by 55% of households, followed by home loans (34%) and student loans (17%).

The largest contributor to debt was home loans, which made up 56% of total household debt. This was followed by other property loans (33%) and investment loans (5%).

Dutton is a fit cycling bastard so he shouldnt have much trouble surviving, still a grub thou.

I grabbed a 36 pack of bog rolls today more by accident, already delivered them to a couple of time poor families who couldnt get to the the shops early enough in the morning.

I would not use hand towels in a septic system. The sewerage might not like it in theirs either but they probably have cleanable strainers. Our septic does not and the towels will clog it over time. We look after it and have been here 20 years and not had to pump.

And funny enough, a lot of us have probably already contracted this virus months ago before it became "the" thing outside of China. Myself and a quite few others in our little village had what doctors described as "just a virus that's going around at the moment." This was back in January , and before they would have been looking specifically for COVID-19.

Went into Aldi this afternoon/evening...

I need some of that soft paper...i dont care for the purfumed pretty scented overly soft stuff that is impregnated with aloe & cleverly embossed for a frictionless glide with maximum stock removal...

Nope...

I just want a pack of fuking toilet paper...

Ok...so im not getting one here...sigh..., i said to myself while staring dumbfounded at the steel shelving with a blank look on my face, wondering what the fuk is wrong with people...

Breathe...

Ok...ill go & grab a can of baked beans &/or spaghetti incase i get away on Sat night for a quick weekend warrior paddock dissecting eye-shine covert operation...
You know...quick snack...easy ramming flavour-filled tummy filler i can just find time for when im not stuck in the burbs & there are guns to shoot...

Well...its been made very apparent to me, that i cant have, nope, not even one can of baked bloody beans...!!!!! :unknown: :twisted:

You see, i went to 2 supermarkets & 2 Aldi stores, & those sections of shelves are empty...
They've been emptied by...well, i dont mean to stereotype here...but emptied by the likes of all the fat bastards i saw walking around in pairs, or threesome's, with at least one trolley each---yes---i said ATLEAST...!!!...filling those said trolley's with instant noodles, long life milk, all my bloody baked beans, and the weeks run from the toilet paper factory...!!!

What the fuk is wrong with you lot...???

No, i dont mean you, who've grabbed a couple extra cans of baked beans...i mean YOU---!!!---who have, as ive said above, loaded up with every fuking carton you can fit in your bloody boot...!!!

You're a buch of idiots...!!!...
If you think thats going to save you in the event of a highly infectious major pandemic while you're couped up in the burbs complaining about what the Govt ISNT doing about your poor health due to your diet, then think again...!!

And i hope when you cant get any protein because you've forced the supermarkets into ration allocations, you smell my roasting goat leg & southern fried rabbit, & stamp your feet in denial while convincing yourself you find some form of solace when 60 minutes & the Project tell you you're being hard done by ...!!!
Idiots...!!... :lol:

And you know what---i hope this is left up for all to read...i dont care if someone is offended at the "social inequity" i seem to be ranting about...
People should take a look at themselves & ask, 'what will happen if this is real...?'...

I am just flabbergasted at the utter greed & incredibly abhorrent attitudes a good number of us seem to have against one another...
We seemingly "band together" when the drama filled media storm is promoting that some experience hardship in the aftermath of the devastating bush fires, but look what happens when they promote even a hint of a spreading infection...and what does this behavior tell us... :unknown:

So...now thats off my chest...can anyone spare a roll or two...seriously...im down to 2-n-a-half rolls & thats including my shooting stash.. :|

Try Bunnings, expensive, but 6 x 300 meter rolls for $75 should keep your ring clean for 6 months or more.

Well...i tried Aldi again after work...

Thought id replace the can of corn i used yesterday ( :shock: :lol: ), & I had nothing organised for dinner...

I thought ill grab a can of tomatoes as well, a pack of snags & a bag of carrots...whip up a nice easy dish of snaggy stew kinda thing in the deep frypan...
That, especially if served with vegies (i love my vegies...!!!...thanks Grandma.. :clap: )...will do me for a good couple of main meals, & the left-overs carry over for a couple of lunch sessions when served on toast too...

Anyway...
Aldi lasagna & frozen chips it is... :thumbsdown: ...because...

The shelves in aldi are bloody empty...!!!...not even cans of corn... :huh:

There was only a few kryovac packs of cheap tendorised pre-marinated steak left at a smidge under $20 a KG...($20/kg for s**t meat tumbled in a commercial chemical flavoured glaze :wtf: :unknown: )

So with this going on...what do people like me do, who dont have a lot of cash, cant afford to stock up with 6 months supply of everything, & are in need of essentials.(..?...)
I feel bad for the elderly / & singles, who dont have family to look after them...

Im beginning to think who here said this is a test for the 'real' thing, is not too far from the truth...

Flutch...you better watch out...might head over your way if things go the sh!tter... :lol:
