Despite the headline, The rundown is car paths are cleared before walkways. The fair way to do this would be to determine the most benefit. Now this can then be defined by multiple categories. Are we aiming for public safety or economics? Or should we do it based on amount of people that pass over the given route per hour? Or when it comes to safety, do we look at how severe the injuries are or perhaps deaths ? Or maybe we just say what is the best way to get it all done as efficiently as possible?

No matter what, I don't think there is a fair way to do it. Suggestions?

TP was well explained by the fact that commerical TP found in workplaces is different from that sold to consumers for their home. Commerical products are recycled and bigger rolls. As people stayed home more, they used more of the latter than the former, hence the shortage. Men don't make decisions about where resources are allocated, the market demand shifted, and covid reduced supply by interfering with production and distribution.

So Chick-fil-A doesn't build in poor neighborhoods? I wonder why!?? The funny part is "black and brown people" don't wanna live in these places either, as soon as they get a little money they move. Is it really on fast food restaurants to fix poverty? They put restaurants where they expect to make the most money, with minimal risk. Somehow I doubt you'd hold an Amazon warehouse or Google data center to the same absurd standard as a company you disagree with religiously or politically.
