    I don’t know, this looks like a toilet paper shortage, which was caused by COVID paranoia. I don’t think that was either Capitalist or Socialist.

      A healthy conspiracist might notice that these memes got disseminated like mad during COVID, lest the masses get socialism-curious.

      COVID should have provided the basis for the biggest labour movement in history. Instead the biggest protest in Australian history was not in aid of higher pay, extending guaranteed sick leave, more essential services, expanding healthcare and socialising all medicine, or even stopping climate change; it was in aid of ending lockdowns.

        I used to live in Florida. You could make this meme every year with water, gas, batteries, and most food products.

        None of it ever mattered. I knew COVID wouldn’t be a wake up call.

          The rampant usage of the misinformation machines in everyone’s pockets and a blatant lack of a basic understanding of statistics.

          Oh and a healthy does survivors bias.

      Still don’t understand why toilet paper went out of stock but hand sanitiser, masks, cleaning equipment, shelf stable food didn’t
