[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump officials seem to think so. They're stockpiling toilet paper, food and cash.

[b]Stockpiling toilet paper seems stupid.[/b] Most of it is made in the US (though probably at least partly from imported Canadian wood pulp).

I'm stockpiling imported olive oil, pasta, rice, certain spices I use regularly, some canned goods that come from other countries, a few other staples that are imported. [b]I always keep at least six months worth of toilet paper in my attic, and I've added a bit to my stores[/b], but not that much. I don't think TP will go up much, but imported pasta and other bottled goods I like to buy regularly will. And avocados and bananas, but I can't stockpile those, so I'll just eat fewer of them.  I noticed avocados were $6.99 for four of them at Wegman's today. Seems higher than normal. [/quote]
You are a TP hoarder even when there is no supply chain issue, who thinks stockpiling TP is stupid, but you’re also increasing your own stockpile? Pick a lane.[/quote]
