@Kinnison Sounds like Devin had a cow.
@johnldeboer "About 85% of U.S. tissue paper demand, including toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and facial tissue, is supplied by U.S. tissue producers, according to a statement from the American Forest & Paper Association..."

That leaves a 15% shortfall for a product with a low elasticity of demand.
I don't think the strike would have resulted in a serious cutoff of imported toilet paper (Canada is our biggest foreign supplier) but we don't produce all we consume.
@johnldeboer The US is a major net importer of toilet paper.

@JolieSaboteuse Typical tourists.
@gshevlin The manosphere is still polluting social media.
@ExecutiveFunction404 That's really a tragic story. Presumably, she was someone with a poor grasp on reality who (for whatever reason) lost her home and was unable to deal with an eviction.

@capedcrusader I don't find this sort of thing reassuring. For one thing, it's obviously a greater than zero chance. Hopefully, not much more, but not "no chance."

@Iveyjanette1 Appealing to the Pete Rose fan base, all two of them.
@Keysalagain @Distracted66 The Glock is affordable -- leaves more room for the Trump price markup.
@realDDGlover Mailboat driver sounds like a great job.
@TR_forester6291 @DCliffo JD Vance is a devout Catholic convert. Seems to be endemic to their politics
@Lulz4l1f3 I was surprised to learn that the U.S. is a top importer of toilet paper and China the top exporter.
@Kinnison I'm curious to see how many justices will hold that a putsch is a core presidential act subject to immunity
