Whether it is panic buying or supply chain disruption, if the shelves are bare, you are out of luck either way.

The strike is suspended until Jan 15 and there is a chance there will be no strike.

Exactly! I'm amazed by the number of folks that live here that threw away common sense the moment they retired.

Last week it was Buy One Get One?

STOP. The strike is over. The government should have invoked the Taft Hartley Act but instead they two sides have agreed to return to work

Toilet paper is not imported. So you’re just causing a panic buy.

Everybody can relax. No strike!

While there are still some toilet paper manufacturers operating in the United States, a significant portion of the toilet paper consumed in the country is imported from other countries, primarily Canada and China.

According to the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA), the United States produced approximately 7.2 million tons of tissue paper in 2020, which includes toilet paper, paper towels, and facial tissues. However, the country imported an additional 2.3 million tons of tissue paper during the same year.

No reason to do that now that the strike has been averted. They have a tentative agreement and will finish in January, 2025. Current administration got the job done!

No reason to panic. Normally keep a good supply of food and paper products. 2025 will be a great year for return to normalcy for health, security, and economics

No they should not have.
