Need real action on this. Obviously there are enough selfish bastards in society who can easily justify themselves over such stupidity as hoarding toilet paper rolls that it creates a shortage. Imagine how that level of selfishness will effect things that really matter (and arguably already is in the case of things like paracetamol). The justification of "first in best dressed" is fundamentally flawed, as the best chance everyone has of survival (let alone progress) is cooperation. If our ability to cooperate is so intrinsically broken as to truly justify this kind of selfishness, than we might as well give up on the whole thing right now. Apocalypse movies are fiction, reality is that no small group of people (let alone person on their own) has the capacity or ability to survive on their own.
There is a story going around of some young girls visiting old people to make sure they have enough toilet paper. It would be worth publicly shaming idiots who now have enough toilet paper to last them more than two months, except there are too many such idiots. Maybe stick to the ones who have a years supply. I'm talking half-flippantly, but at the same time if people are allowed to exercise such stupidity in this way it will end up effecting things that are much more dangerous for others than a toilet paper shortage.
