    The Trump administration plans to almost double duties on Canadian softwood lumber to 27%, with the possibility of additional levies pushing the rate to more than 50%. While Trump advocates for new tariffs partly to bolster U.S. manufacturing, they may also hit the availability of northern bleached softwood kraft pulp, or NBSK, a key component in making toilet paper and paper towels.

    I was getting "December 2019" vibes back in November, so I started stocking up on N95s and toilet paper. This isn't exactly what I was preparing for, but I'm prepared nonetheless.

          There are still several good outlets, and since they're badly needed right now, let's not, well, shit on them.

                  Well, Americans can always wipe their asses with newspapers like in the old days, and that's pretty much what their press is worth these days anyway.

                      Protip: Invest in a cheap bidet attachment for your toilet. You'll be cleaner, suffer less irritation to your sensitive regions, and use much less toilet paper.

                          Every time I hear about someone stock piling toilet paper I can’t help but think how brutally stupid that person must be. Get a fucking bidet. They’re cheap and easy to get and you aren’t blowing a bunch of money and storage space and looking like a jackass at the grocery store.

                              Pretty sure bidets are woke. Has something to do with the silent t and the fact it shares many letters with "biden"

                                Nah, pinch off the supply ASAP. Maybe it'll make them finally colon their reps to return to a state of nearer sanity.

                                We really are just living in some alien race's reality television show, aren't we?

                                    The tariffs will be lifted in no time.

                                    This is the man who for over a decade has climbed onto his soapbox and complained endlessly about how you have to flush modern toilets 10 times. This is the obese man who subsists off fast food. That man uses a lot of toilet paper.

                                        I will never go back. After installing a bidet, it quickly becomes clear how primitive the use of toilet paper is, at least as a primary means of cleaning.

                                        Also, whoever snuck “pinch” into this headline got away with murder. I suspect there was much furtive chortling.
