I don’t think TP is made overseas - but lots of stuff will start to experience shortages after 2-3 weeks.

The absolute silence from Fed.gov should be very worrying. It shows there’s a big rift within the Democrat Party and DC deep-state on this.

This is a pretty detailed study about where TP raw product comes from. I didn’t wade through it all - it focuses on trees/pulp from Northern Canada - which seems to me would be best put on a ship to the USA.

It said 53% of TP uses Eyuclaptic pulp. I figure that would come in via west coast. All the raw products of that type (and grains, etc.) probably are shipped in bulk (like oil) and aren’t affected by the strike I don’t think - which is the containers??

But - what about the critical piece of equipment that is broken at the TP factory that needs to be replaced from China? Or any number of items. I know during the pandemic I had a hard time finding an oil filter. (When they did come in I bought three.)
