Spooked by trade wars - some Trump administration officials are stockpiling toilet paper and food before Trump’s tariffs cause prices to skyrocket. "It would be stupid not to!"
Trump Officials Are Stockpiling Household Supplies Amid His Trade Wars
Isn't toilet paper one of those things that's almost always produced relatively close to where it's used because the logistics of moving it long distances just don't make sense?
you'd think so but there's no toilet paper factory in alaska.
Even so America makes 3-4 times as much tissue and toilet paper as it imports, so I think Alaska and Hawaii might be outliers.
this is why there's an alaskan and hawaiian independence movement
Is there a place you’d recommend to start learning about the Alaskan independence movement?
here's some firsthand knowledge, its a fucking joke. it's conceived by a bunch white libertarian men who hated paying taxes. very american.
So native Alaskans don’t want independence?
depends on who you ask, nominally no. They primarily want to be left alone and not have their lands and waterways fucked up by extractive industry
Even so America makes 3-4 times as much tissue and toilet paper as it imports,
How much relative to what it uses though, does it need domestic production and imports to maintain its 97% poop free asses
Pretty sure there are tons of paper mills in Alaska.
Were. Plenty of devastation to the old growth forests too.
What about snowletpaper?
I'd rather carve a spoon out of ice than use snowletpaper
As long as the lumber and chemicals are also produced locally
