    Default Toilet Paper

    I think people are stockpiling it again. I guess because of the dockworker's strike. SMH

    Isn't toilet paper made in the USA, along with bottled water?

    There is a Kimberly Clark plant in Paris, TX, Georgia-Pacific also has a lot of US based paper mills. So, wouldn't toilet paper, and paper towels, be mainly on semi-trucks and not cargo ships?

    I think the impact will be more in goods and consumables including fruits from South America and a lot of tech items and paper goods that come from China. I think stores like Hobby Lobby and Dollar stores that have a lot of goods shipped in from China will eventually will feel a pinch.

    You are expecting the general population to think logically. I heard one of the Costcos was sold out of it today. I saw someone at Walmart putting three 30 roll packages in their cart today and the shelves were less than 1/2 full.

    In as much as this strike is Texas and ports east I think the goods that come from the EU, Carribean and possibly South America would be affected. China and Asian goods come in via the West Coast
