The dockworkers strike that has shut down dozens of ports on the East and Gulf Coasts has reportedly triggered panic buying of toilet paper and paper towels at a Costco on Staten Island — despite experts’ insistence that paper products won’t be affected by the strike.
Video footage on Wednesday showed vast, empty shelves of toilet paper, paper towels and facial tissues. One segment posted by FreedomNews.TV shows just a few pallets of Kleenex at the Costco on Richmond Avenue near the Staten Island Mall.

I didn’t know it was made overseas.....................
This is great news.
Way to hammer home just how screwed up everything is! HAHAHAHA
Wipe with your hands. It’s the will of Allah.
People might want to look at things China produces. Taurin in cat food for one. No Taurine, no cat food.
Yup. I have cats.

Made in the USA: Kirkland toilet paper packaging prominently displays that the product is made in the USA, a point of pride for many Costco shoppers. Clearwater‘s manufacturing footprint is entirely domestic, with facilities in states like Georgia, Oklahoma, and Nevada.
Same programming, same imbeciles, different day.
Last time our grocery store had this huge security guard and a german sheppard patrolling inside the store.
The girl at the store up by the interstate said that town was out of TP. I bought a 18 pack of mega rolls out here where I am. We were getting low anyway but I also figured the panic buying would happen. Gotta go grocery shopping today.

Not this crap again!
I thought the strike did not affect the West coast
Sponge on a stick, hose in the backyard, neighbors cat.
your choice.
Yup- and one month before the election- perfect timing!!!
Unless you count Canada as "Overseas". Some of it is made there.
Empty already , really ? LOL
Winter’s coming, leaves all gone, and us without Sears catalogues! “Computers are our friends”, they said. “We’ll get rid of all that paper!”, they said.
I just got back from local Walmart. Lady works there said it had been crazy. We laughed about them buying toliet paper as it is made here. I did buy extra coffee because it might be in short supply. Strangely the bread aisle was almost empty too. Could be people buying stuff to take to hurricane victims. I did that for Katrina but not able to help much now.
Typical NYC voter: “This is a disaster! The whole country is falling apart. I will, however, still vote for Harris.”
Sigh. 😒
Stupid people went for USA made products!
Who now doesn’t keep a year’s supply in home inventory these days?
