You know, like a three day Special Military Operation?

IMO it would be harder to justify a SMO if it was only toilet paper that suddenly got a lot more expensive.

Although bogroll getting dearer still might be enough of an excuse for Trump.

By the way, has released the yet?

speculation:

I was unable to find really comprehensive numbers on manufacture of TP across the globe.

but afaik, Can supplies about 6% of US market, so it *has to be true that given a few weeks notice, the US supply chain could source TP from other countries

A sudden halt to all shipments would lead to spot shortages, which would be amplified by news and social media into a HUGE problem which would lead to panic buying

a positive feedback loop on steroids

Could Canada not simply close the Welland Canal? All eight locks are located in Ontario and operated by the Canadian side, as far as I understand.

I genuinely wonder what the economic consequences of that would be for the United States. How much of the U.S. economy — and how many Americans — depend on goods being transported through the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Seaway system?
