    World May Face Another Shortage of Toilet Paper !

    Arse paper has become something of a precious commodity in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, almost a currency in its own right. Scientists say this is a reaction to long-term quarantine rules, as the wipe stockpiles are thought by some behaviourists to give people a sense of control over their surroundings....Amid the global pandemic, many countries have experienced a surge in demand for basic necessities, including hygiene products, disinfectants and arse paper. Grocery shelves were earlier emptied by frightened customers who caused panic and scuffles........https://sputniknews.com/business/202...try-boss-says/

    Sitting pretty.

    I was going to the store yesterday anyway, and the wife asked me to pick some up, just in case. There was still plenty on the shelves, but you could tell from the gaps that people had been buying more than usual and that the store wasn't able to keep up. I was going to buy a big multi-pack of Charmin, but the packaging confused me. "6=36"? "24=123"? What are they talking about? Is this like the MERV numbers on an air conditioner filter? Screw it, I'll just buy a 24-pack of the store brand for half of what the Charmin people want for 18 rolls.

    So far I have heard

    1) COVID interrupting manufacturing in Brazil and they produce 1/3 of the pulp used.
    2) Lack of shipping containers
    3) Panic buying
    4) The Suez Canal


    I blame it on offshoring the supply chain. Damn globalists strike again.

    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.
