prosecute cartels, monopolies, collusion, price setting, and other anti-competitive practices.

making economic/business decisions.

Uh

You're an idiot

Thank you


A lengthier (JJGish) way of making the same point is to state that market regulation requires significant normative judgements.  This is particularly relevant in the merger control space where the regulator is required to evaluate the likely market dominance of the combined entity which is, at best, a hypothetical economic construct.  As such, the regulator is incapable of standing apart from the market and becomes an integral market actor making ‘economic/business decisions’.  This is without going into the challenges of regulatory capture where there is a cross-over in personnel between the regulator and the market dominant actors.

But it’s faster to say ‘uh’

I will never understand the toilet paper shortage. The first thing people do in the face of doom is buy massive unreasonable amounts of TP....

I buy massive unreasonable amounts of TP, but not out of panic. Together with home-baked bread, it drastically reduces my supermarket volume, so I can just about manage with a tertis-level over-filled shopping basket instead of needing a shopping trolley for the rest of the year. Saves a lot of time every time I visit a supermarket. Both in time navigating a busy supermarket and returning the trolley from the car-park.

No, really, I am serious now... Why do people think toilet paper will be their biggest concern in case of a shortage of supplies?

What about water and food?

How the fuck does this work?  Like "I am fully prepped for the apocalypse because now I have a room completely filled with toilet paper." ?

Maybe it's the cheapest way to completely fill a supermarket cart so that they fool themselves that they are doing good?

Don't they know that when you don't eat you barely shit either?

Nonsense.

China is (was) the worlds biggest exporter of toilet paper.  

There’s bound to be a genuine supply side shortage somewhere.  

People are all thinking this is a demand side panic.  That’s not necessarily the case.  Why the fuck can’t I get lawn beetle killer?  Is that a blind demand panic as well?  Why can’t LFC get supplies? 

It all leads back to the worlds manufacturing hub being a bit fucked at the moment.

I don't know, I have just checked and my toilet paper says it is made in Spain. Same with the kitchen paper, which is a great substitute btw. I have even checked the business name and they do indeed have a big factory here. Maybe it is the raw material or something what is imported from China?

Anyways, yeah, China has become the biggest source of many things and this will be a great stress test and maybe something will be learnt from it.

But my point is mainly about the weird rationalisation that some people seem to be doing about what is or isn't really critical... and TP scoring really high for some.

About the lawn beetle killer... have you checked a bunch of alternative sources and still no luck?

It’s the toilet paper whales man

That's the sensible thing to do. Every time there is an offer on products that are routinely consumed I buy as much as I can, sometimes enough for years ahead. I really don't understand people that doesn't plan when that usually means in savings on costs and "logistics".

I could understand a supermarket cart full of bottled water, or food cans but... toilet paper? Give me a break.

On second thought... Maybe there was an offer on toilet paper?

-That woman has pretty large earrings.
-Thought she was a brunette.
-Wonder what the hand gestures mean.
-Think I have that same scarf.
-Cool retro poster.
etc

It is her husbands funeral.
She's explainin to the her mother in law, that when Bob's manhood was about that big, he had the stroke and passed out.

The woman with the earrings is another mistress of Bob.

Your scarf won't get your dingy any closer to that sweet hyena widow.

People panic-buy the product they perceive to be in short supply, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

They don't feel the need to panic-buy yogurt, if they see plenty of yogurt of store shelfs.

You aren’t supposed to eat it

[Last of the V8s]

I'd block her pipes too.

Sadly I think it's a bigotry thing - easier to fancy her if she were a white woman.

You can't talk. You can't even find the bottom.

Same with the kitchen paper, which is a great substitute btw.

You think you're a genius with your 'toilet hack' for the first few wipes. Then you realise all it's doing it smearing it all over your undercarriage. Then your anus realises it has been sand papered and reminds you of it every few seconds for the next couple of weeks.

I'd go for leaves every day of the week.

Really would have to insist she not talk during the procedure though. Cannot stand that voice.

Glucose decreases, and ketones increase the stability of brain networks.

Fascinating research, great news for bitcoin youth if true.

Good read, thanks.
LowCarb works for a reason.
An old man told me,  you can't go wrong if you don't consume all the things that are heavily advertised.
Think about it. Eat Burgers, drink Coke, all that carbopumped fastfood and snacks, become fat, be a cash cow for the pharma industry and finally die younger.

These mistakes, arguments, fears will happen to most places. Just very sad.
