Individually, people can be smart. En mass, they can be freaking idiots…which explains the current phenomenon of people panic-buying toilet paper. Because of the major port strike that started earlier this week, and ended last night, people had gone into pandemic-era panic mode and decided that they needed toilet paper…and lots of it…with many stores getting completely wiped out…if you’ll excuse the pun. For the record, more than 90% of the country’s TP supply is made in the good ‘ol USA…so there was zero impact on supply that could’ve resulted from the port strike. So, the bottom line…so to speak…is stop hoarding the TP. There’s no reason for it.
