Thread: Brace yourself for a new wave of shortages

    Brace yourself for a new wave of shortages

    Well, brace yourself, because another product shortage is looming — and yes, it may very well become tough to find toilet paper again.

    Major problems with international shipping are likely to make t.p. and some other items scarce, and could bring a return of hoarding. Here's a lowdown on the situation,

    Maybe newspapers and Time/Newsweek will come back in style, and corncobs too.
    Never lose hope, there is always a solution; and a substitute for toilet paper.

    A fella can always be like the Muslims, and wipe with his left hand. Of course you would have to wash it pretty good.

    Expect beef price to go up next fall as well. We are in the middle of bad drought in our area and a lot of the local ranchers are selling their herds right now because they cannot afford to feed and water them. They may come down a bit in the near term though, so stock up if you have room.

    I'm planning to buy a whole beef very soon.
