I always assumed that we’d be using bottle caps as money, so I could not have guessed that the new currency would actually be toilet paper. I’m now using actual dollar bills to wipe with because we’re down to just 15 rolls of TP and that’s basically my daughter’s college fund. Which will be entirely online, of course, because in a few years we’ll all have our eyeballs replaced with small computer monitors that face into our skull towards the optic nerve. That just seems like the natural course.
Anyway, I don’t understand why toilet paper is such a rare commodity in my area. There are other things equally as hard to come by, like bleach, Lysol products, and cleaning supplies in general. I have to assume that everyone in this town never cleaned their houses before March 15, 2020. At around the same time there was a sudden lack of certain medical supplies. This is especially worrisome when you actually NEED those things for, you know, medical reasons and not just to wipe down your groceries when you bring them home.
