After exercising at my gym this morning, I stopped at one of our local grocery stores to pick up something for dinner. While wandering the aisles, I was again reminded of just how stupid Americans can be.
I was walking down the paper towel and toilet paper aisle when I noticed something. There were only a few rolls of toilet paper left on the shelves. Oh no, not again!
On Tuesday of this week, the Longshoremen’s Union went on strike in major ports on the Eastern seaboard. This situation would affect items imported from Europe and Asia that would not be unloaded from cargo ships. The products most affected are autos, electronics, and other consumer goods — not toilet paper! 90% of the toilet paper sold and used in the United States is produced in this country.
Of course, mentally challenged Americans acting without any reputable information or knowledge of world trade immediately crapped their pants and headed to the stores to hoard toilet paper. Panic, not seen since the pandemic!
Of course, the strike was suspended until January, after the election and new year, thanks to Joe Biden’s negotiating skills.
The American public is assured of getting all the imports from Asia and Europe right on time for the Christmas buying season. But here’s a warning: don’t eat or drink too much during the upcoming holiday season, fearing getting diarrhea. If you’re unlucky to get the runs, you’ll have to run over to the moron next door who’s hoarding toilet paper.
