    You’ve always paid for TP in China. At least now there’s a way to get it for free. I see this as an improvement.

      Yeah i came to say this. There’s no toilet paper in most of China. Some fancier shops may have it but most don’t. Even McDonald’s in China doesn’t have toilet paper most of the time.

      On one hand, the government can absolutely afford to piss money away on stolen toilet rolls or whatever. On the other hand, this locking-down only happened because some people couldn’t be trusted and did the stealing in the first place. If everyone had respect for public amenities this likely wouldn’t have happened

        It’s the old people. They still remember famine and live like they’re going to go without any day now. Honestly how randomly china manages stuff the old people are probably right.
