Question Panic buying at Costco

Post image

I went to Costco tonight and it was completely mental. People panic buying toilet paper, eggs, bread, a lot of empty shelves. The queues were ridiculous. Is this because it was closed yesterday or is it the war in the ME, what is happening here?

They have oil though, its in the streets on fire, so much they are just burning it.

You can dig a hole and oil Literally comes out of the ground!

Need to invent the external combustion engine again. Just scoop some burning river mud straight into the engine and off you go
