The availability of TP is like the Canary in the mine. If or when TP shortages appear in the US, know that the end of the Republic is very near.
Happened in 1959 Cuba, around the Russian revolution, and probably Mao’s China as well.
Lack of TP is the warning sign that things are crumbling!
Mark Steyn, subbing for Limbaugh about a year ago, mentioned something about the moonbat crowd trying to get the importation of logs from Canada banned for the manufacture of TP.
When we lived in Japan, there was even a truck which came around to give away TP as an incentive for saving your newspapers and magazines.
Your typical stack which could be carried out to the truck in one hand would garner you a roll. A large bundle which required both hands to carry would get you two or more.
My brother worked one winter vacation in India helping build houses for Habitat for Humanity. The local shop sold single rolls for about US$0.50 which, coincidentally, was the typical take home pay for a day laborer then. So I suppose they would use it very sparingly.
Well I won’t say where I have been, but I heard there is a country that still has a TP problem. Every where you go there is a person sitting at a card table inside the bathroom with a roll of TP selling squares off it. You give them $1 and they give you 2 squares. No rolls at all in any stalls. People on planes going in from other countries carry large black trash bags full of partially used rolls home.
