When I fantasized about the country being overrun by ghouls, I pictured something more comforting, like World War Z or Shaun of the Dead or even Zombieland. But this…this is a sick and twisted kind of hell. Even worse than Walking Dead.

The toilet paper I usually get went from $35 to $55 for a case.

Just the one variety though. They had a similar variety still at $35. For now.

If you’re out of affordable toilet paper, you can use the US constitution to wipe your ass with. Apparently it’s reusable.

Its ok, gas prices will simply not be used to calculate inflation and the data will be skewed to trend down so that interest rates can be lowered, and more money printing can happen.
