As someone that’s in a position to just like, buy water from the next county over for a bit, and who knows full well that they don’t need to riot in the Shop Rite aisle (where y’at now Jeff Brown?) …
…. Where do i contribute to the bail fund for everyone going absolutely apeshit at the grocery store to redirect them to the raiding the Trinseo, Trinseo corporate ownership, and various exec homes of water cooler bottles and shit?
I’m not paying extra for water. I don’t even like water. But I will absolutely shell out to see everyone going batshit at the grocery store today show up to do the same at the offices and homes of everybody accountable

Crazy how close a city of 2 million is to rioting

I mean, Philly’s always kinda looking for an excuse. We’re a tetchy bit of business.
But the way it’s unfolding in this case is very much one of those “dumbest timelines” bit of mess. On multiple fronts - there’s people going apeshit to buy more water than they’d realistically run through in 3 months, and I’ve also spent the afternoon explaining to others that boiling and Brita filters won’t fix it, and they still don’t care because any inconvenience now is worse than actual catastrophe later..
It’s genuinely wild how inconsistent we are, as a species, at evaluating risk and responding appropriately

The pandemic toilet paper problem told me all I needed to know about the human race during a crisis — seeing 1 person take 11 cases of water is a fucking joke. These people make me sick.

News reported people bought out Costco then were reselling the water in the parking lot.
