First impacts of tariffs

This article and video (below) from yesterday(?) just kills me. Customers lining up outside Costco to buy eggs. Customers literally loading their carts with cases of eggs. Anybody tell them that the US does not get its eggs from China, Mexico or Canada? Our collective IQ in America is so low. Lemmings are more intelligent.

And how many f-ing eggs do these people eat? And they do go bad eventually I believe. I stopped in at Winco yesterday. Eggs were definitely low in quantity but not cleaned out. Limit of one, I think they were 18 packs. I only eat egg whites for health reasons - these people do know that one egg has 100% of your daily cholesterol, right? - and grabbed a "carton". Price was about the usual, maybe up a bit, and again low supply but not cleaned out. Didn't bother to check the price on "real" eggs.

Really nice article they did there, basically aimed at taking their shot at Trump again. Did anyone notice what was missing from that story? They neglected to talk to any of the customers to ask WHY they were buying so many eggs! And here is why it may have mattered.

Three or four weeks ago, maybe even more, I was in Costco heading for the checkout with my meatloaf and mac and cheese dinners and came up on this older lady also rolling towards the checkout, and she had her cart filled to the brim with eggs. Nothing but eggs, top to bottom. So being the smart ass I am at times, I told her that it looked like she was going to make one Helluva omelet. She laughed a bit and then told me she did all the buying for the local American Legion and was stocking up for the Sunday breakfast. And then she said that eggs were the only thing she bought at Costco, everything else she got at Winco.

So you see, you guys are jumping to confusions again to make fun of people you thought were so stupid they thought they had to stock up on eggs when often there is a very valid reason for bulk purchases. Not everyone buying in volume is stupid for doing so. In fact. I ran into my neighbor there a couple times stocking up on bulk stuff. So why would a guy do that when they only had three kids? They owned 3 care facilities.

Some of you might want to stop and think once in a while before getting prematurely ejaculated again. Think outside your own little box occasionally!

Oh for F-s' sake. My commentary, and the article itself, despite the headline, have little to do with Trump himself, or the tariffs for that matter. It is about the stupid shits that make up this country and buy 20 dozen eggs because - as you say - why?

And your isolated examples, while cute, do not at all describe the shitshow at Costco or elsewhere. You telling us that every shopper in line was buying for the Legion breakfast or their care centers? C'mon buddy, you are smarter than that. It is a commentary on our f-ed up, brain-dead populace. Just like the TP hoarding a while back. Although to be fair, I did pick up a 4 pack of TP just to be safe......

P.S. What is with this infatuation with premature ejaculation?

Problem was that so many people were hoarding TP and sanitizing wipes that they created the shortage. There was no rational reason to hoard TP…ever. There wasn’t much rational reason to hoard wipes, although at that point people were being told to clean doorknobs and elevator buttons, so at least that could be excused.

I don’t recall ever actually running short of TP, but I do recall that people were stealing the fat industrial rolls from work. Not sure why, that stuff was John Wayne paper, and was about the last thing I’d want to take home.

The rough stuff actually grabs those cling-ons better. Although my hot, supple tush gets Soft and Gentle.

Do I need to relink the Shit List? In case this thread goes South as they all do...... :)

On reflection, I think your link was missing a few. I distinctly remember a poster in the 90s that had “the Dairy Queen shit.” Soft serve, with a curl on top.
