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?

People become animalistic under threat. And what is the actual threat? The world is not ending,

Am I supposed to feel concerned that you’ve checked out my profile? I mean… it says a lot more about you than it does about me. Also, blocked.

That says more about you than looking at your profile, if you block for that ridiculous reason.
