It's not a thing at all.

Nothing in the news about it, nothing even on shitholes like Twitter.

More likely the TC went to his local spot, saw that store was out of TP for whatever reason, and now thinks that people are hoarding because of Iran or whatever.

I stand corrected.

Sorry, there's been so much obnoxious dooming on CE today, that I figured this was another one of those topics.

You can do all that without hoarding. I bought a 24 pack the last time I got groceries and that should last me a few weeks. I'll buy more when I get low

"Dock workers on strike ... no deliveries let the hoarding begin," one woman shared to Facebook from Williamstown.

Deliveries wouldn't be affected this quickly. Current deliveries would already be either at distribution centers or pool points and would have nothing to do with the strike.

I went through TP very slowly before I got a bidet, and it has been much slower since.

yes

The vast majority of Scott toilet paper and paper towels are manufactured in the United States of America from domestic and imported materials, a minor part of the production is in Canada and Mexico.
https://www.scottbrand.com/en-us/production

Not to mention but even if all the material is here and we have a manufacturing plant here, parts for the plant would be made overseas.

This will effect everything
