deird1Aussies really suck at prepping.
Apparently every supermarket in the entire country is now sold out of toilet paper. My local supermarket certainly is. They're also sold out of flour, spaghetti, rice, bread, and long-life milk.
They're not sold out of dried lentils/chickpeas/beans, or dried soup mix, or dried fruit, or canned vegetables/fruit.
Apparently everyone in Australia thinks that one should spend food shortages having nothing but plain white carbohydrates – in which case they'll all be so constipated that I'm not sure why they'll need so much toilet paper.

I think it's this desire to control something or do something. There's this threat hanging over all our heads and we just don't know how to protect ourselves from it or be prepared.
