The media is dialing up the doomsaying over the impact of President Donald J. Trump’s foreign tariffs and is going back to the well of perhaps the most successful fearmongering campaign of all time.
According to one left-leaning mainstream outlet, the tariffs could lead to a repeat of the great national toilet paper shortage of 2020, when mass hysteria stoked by the media sparked a panic that drove Americans to hoard bathroom tissue, leaving stores with barren shelves and forcing retailers to impose rationing measures.

Just went to Sam’s today. Too much toilet paper to put on the shelf, so it was in the aisle as well.
Doesnt look like a shortage to me.
…but if there IS a shortage, take heart.
Corn cobs are still free.
make America wipe again!
Isn’t TP made in Georgia and the northwest?
“The majority of toilet paper used in the U.S. is produced domestically, with about 90% of the supply coming from American factories. While the U.S. is a large importer of toilet paper, only a small percentage of the total supply is imported, with Canada and Mexico being the primary sources. “
The TV man says,
There IS a TP shortage,
To try to CAUSE one.
Pretty soon, if you’ve got plenty of dollars you will be set.
Who needs toilet paper when you have a very nice warm bidet?
Got a Toto Washlet. Best money I’ve ever spent.
What’s that old joke about the indians stocking up wood for the hard upcoming winter…
It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets.
When he looked at the sky, he couldn’t tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.
Also, being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, “Is the coming winter going to be cold?”
“It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed,” the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. “Is it going to be a very cold winter?”
“Yes,” the man at National Weather Service again replied,”it’s definitely going to be a very cold winter.” The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find.
Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. “Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?”
“Absolutely,” the man replied. “It’s going to be one of the coldest winters ever.”
“How can you be so sure?” the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, “The Indians are collecting wood like crazy.”
Had Green Bay shut down? They lay claim to being the TP capital of the world. That doesn’t seem like a load.

There were two key factors in the 2020 shortage. First, although overall usage of TP remained about the same (I didn’t poop any more or less as far as I can tell), as people moved to working remote and not patronizing restaurants and stores the demand for ‘institutional TP’ went down as the demand for home use TP went up. They are not the same, even if they are often made at the same plant. Manufacturers started changing their production, but ‘home use’ inventory went down as ‘institutional’ piled up. Second, of course, was the emotional reaction and overbuying/hoarding.
people are sheeple
…thats OK. If the Communists win, its not like youll get enough food to make poop anyway, so nothing to wipe…

…and the Muslims will keep your poop production down too, just in a different way…

When I was a kid I remember the milk man delivering glass bottled milk, the man that came around to sharpen knives, scissors and lawn mowers (reel type) and the guy with a horse drawn wagon selling straberries yelling: “Straaaaaaaaaw Berries, Straaaaaaaaaw Berries!”
Listening to the Libtards we’ll be seeing a man with a horse drawn cart yelling: “Tooooooylet Paper! Tooooooylet Paper!”
… or possibly “Bring out yer dead! Bring out yer dead!
Does this mean the press corpse is done nattering about eggs?
One economic concept the media hides from the general public is something called elasticity. A product is inelastic if the price increases but demand remains the same; a product is elastic if price increases or decreases have a noticable effect on demand.
Consider potato chips as an example of something that is elastic. If you double the price of a bag of potato chips, demand will likely decrease because while tasty, potato chips are not a necessity.
Toilet paper is relatively inelastic as a product; it’s something we have been trained to need, but you only need so much. If the price of toilet paper is cut in half, this will not decrease the demand
by 50%; if the price of toilet paper doubles, people will still find a way to purchase it even if it means cutting out other discretionary spending – perhaps you go out to dinner one less time per month.
This is the media making shit up. Increasing the tariff on wood pulp 25% will, at least without the knowing falsehoods perpetrated by the media, result in a toilet paper shortage – companies will continue to make it but charge somewhat more. Biden and the Democrat party did this with their brain dead economic policies and the resulting inflation; goods were still available although all goods were more expensive. Left wing media outlets cannot go bankrupt and disappear fast enough.
Harry, maybe we should play Beat the reaper by the Firesign Theater in addition to bring out your dead by Monty Python. Lefties are scared shitless about everything and are always constantly being nattering nabobs of negativism. It’s in their Marxist DNA.
In the grand scheme of things, toilet paper is a relatively recent invention.
I’m sure we could figure out other things to use.

The top 20 talking heads of the democrat media should be forced to take turns using their tongues to wipe moooochelle obama’s ass every day – on live tv.
@SNS:
I wouldn’t know if it did, and I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t, either! (-;
^^^ pehaps it could be marketed as a Buttigieg Breath Mint?
As long as the publishing houses support democrats by paying them to write autobiographies, there will never be a true shortage of toilet paper
It looks like I’m going to have to start using the drapes again.
Guys.
Heads UP on this alternative…
“Did you hear the one about the guy on the toilet with all the buttons??
He looked at the array of buttons in bewilderment as he finished his business. He sees one labeled “WW”and decides to test it out. He pushes the button and warm water gently shoots out and washes his rear. Delighted, he moves onto one labeled “WA”. He pushes it and warm air flows from the toilet and dries his bottom. The next button he says says “PP”. Hesitant, he decides to push it. A powder puff emerges and powders his bottom and undercarriage. Feeling refreshed, he sees a button labeled “ATR”. Confidently he presses the button.
2 weeks later he wakes up in the hospital. He groggily asks the nurse, “what was that last button?” “Oh, that was the Automatic Tampon Remover”

No worries, we use the koran for emergency toilet paper…
I have the text of the Benghazi investigation, you know, the one where H. Clintoon GOT CLEAN AWAY with abandoning those people to die at the hands of the local terrorists. That should keep my house in TP for a few months, for all the good it did. At least it’ll be doing SOMETHING!
Cynic – Sounds like the old “how to make your wife scream in bed” joke.
Remember all it takes is one square.
assholes doan like yt-stuff, stop using toilet paper – find something more diverse/inclusive

“Remember all it takes is one square.”
…guys who consume MREs could expand on that concept, based on the quantity provided therein…
I never did find a good way to eat all that toilet paper I hoarded.
Learn from the border jumpers, every public drinking fountain doubles as bidet!
“…if the price of toilet paper doubles, people will still find a way to purchase it even if it means cutting out other discretionary spending – perhaps you go out to dinner one less time per month.”
This is exactly what happened in 2020. The big pack of Charmin at Costco was about 13 bucks. Now it is over 30.
