[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see why someone would stockpile TP or paper towels due to tariffs.  Those items aren't that expensive and even a 100% tariffs would only increase the price by a couple bucks compared to the space required to store a stockpile.

I could see it for appliances, electronics or cars.  Possibly coffee depending on how expensive your brand is since coffee is fairly small.[/quote]The vast majority of TP is made in U.S.  it wont be affected by tariffs.

But the wood comes from Canada.  :roll: [/quote]

America has commercial forests. Why are we importing wood from Canada for this?[/quote]

The same reason we import electricity and oil & gas from Canada.  They sell a different kind of product that is in demand in the US.

Tariffs have literally never worked.  It made the great depression that much worse...so it's odd that here we are 100 years later implementing the same nonsense measures.[/quote]

We have tariffs on Canadian lumber products already.
