This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Beat the same crowds and get your pallet of toilet paper early.
Invest in a bidet/washlet and your toilet paper usage will go down significantly, lowering the impact a tp shortage will have on you.
Plus you'll feel cleaner down there than you ever did with just tp. 10/10 would recommend.
To add to this - get a pack of cheap washcloths to dry your clean undercarriage and your toilet paper usage is near or realistically at zero. Take that, Big-TP!
would be the second time we had a pandemic caused by animal agriculture
It’s going to keep happening.

Speculation filled knowledge gaps. Zach Riley, head of the Colorado Livestock Association, said he suspected that wild birds may be spreading the virus to herds across the country, despite scientific data suggesting otherwise. Riley said farmers were considering whether to install “floppy inflatable men you see outside of car dealerships” to ward off the birds.
I would imagine that a large number of these people are enthusiastic supporters of the President-elect.
