Bernie: 'We Must Seize The Means Of Toilet Paper Production'
2020-03-14
[Babylon Bee] In a video message recorded from one of his many, many houses, Bernie Sanders has called on the workers of the world to unite and seize the means of toilet paper production.

Sanders was under quarantine because he is old and susceptible to the virus. So he delivered the message remotely, but it was just as powerful as if he had delivered it to thousands of Bernie bros in person: "Workers of the world, unite and seize the means of producing bath tissue in large quantities!"

Being a well-known communist, Sanders criticized the free market for having so much prosperity and toilet paper that people could run out and purchase hundreds of rolls they don't even need on a whim. "1% of the people now own 99% of the toilet paper. Under a socialist system, each person would get an equal amount, which would probably be two or three squares. But at least we would all be equal."

The presidential candidate has also promised to enact efficient, government-run toilet paper lines if elected president.

"My fellow Americans, can you spare a square?" he asked his loyal followers.

#8  Because of Chinese new year companies have stockpiled products having anticipated disruptions in service. Holdups in ports are occurring however.

#6  Do you ever look at a headline, and for 30 seconds go, "Bee? Not Bee?"

It's becoming like Schroedinger's Cat, where it both is and isn't. Sometimes you have to click on the article to collapse the probability wave and see which one you end up with.

#2  Pshaw. If Gaia didn't want us to wipe our asses with trees, she wouldn't have made them out of toilet paper.

#1  Paper is made from wood. Cutting down trees is a crime against Gaia - kill the blasphemer!
