If there's anything American shoppers love more than a good bargain, it's a good panic.

We all remember the great toilet paper panic of 2020, right?  We'll we're going through it again, but it's not due to a pandemic but because of the ongoing port strike.


Dock workers along the Gulf and East Coasts went on strike Tuesday, demanding better pay and better protection from being replaced by automation.

Since the strike has shut down imports coming in, panic ensued across the country, and as we all know the first thing to go when a panic happens is toilet paper.

Experts say there is no need for this TP hoarding, though.

According to CNN, 90% of the toilet paper Americans use is American made!  And the remaining 10% largely comes from Mexico and Canada, no ports required!
