People hoarding toilet paper and water again

[DaBull]

From what I have read, 90% of toilet paper sold in the U.S. is made in the U.S. Should not see any effects from a strike.

(If the strike had continued...) The port strike would lead to a surplus of trucking, which would lower the transport component of domestic goods. TP prices would go down, UNLESS people hoarded it out of ignorance and prices went up due to scarcity.

The agreement amounts to a $4-per-hour raise for each year of the six-year contract, a source with knowledge of the negotiations told CNN. That amounts to a first year raise of just over 10% of the current contract’s top pay of $39 an hour. With the five subsequent pay hikes it would raise wages by 62% over the life of the contract.

In 6 years, the robots will be ready to replace them.

Just in time for Schwab’s WEF scheduled “depopulation” of Earth ?

BTW, Schwab is mid 80’s & Soros mid 90’s. Hopefully they’ll depopulate themselves first !

About 40 years too late.

I said the same thing on X, and got a 1 week vacation last month...

Just means they will hire anyone back that can fix automation.
I know, used do that work, and on a good day the robots could keep up with the humans.
On a bad day, the robots came to work drunk...

"Oh, once programmed, robots can repeat movements within a tenth of a millimeter"
Bull shit !
There was one new line at Continental that after 18 months it was still misplacing, crashing, or just plain being a pain in the ass. Thankfully, I'm retired now.

The water always puzzled me. Don't these folks know what a faucet is?

Somewhere I read the Union took part of their health care away as well. Maybe to satisfy the wages?
If so that will bite the workers in the ass pretty good.

I just remember that people wore their cloth masks for my safety, and then I’m not surprised when I read that people are buying up items that are made in the US and Canada, not transported on ships, after they hear about a strike that wasn’t going to have that much of an effect on them anyway.

Just takes one news report to send people to the store.

In for vids of the drunk robots.

The hoarding takes place yet the stores let it happen.
Who's to blame?

They should ration it like academy did with the ammo during the Covid farce

You could say anything on Telegram but the founder now says he's going to cooperate more with law enforcement...whatever that means.

Maybe somebody needs to start a new, uncensored platform for TP-Hoarders. They just need a memorable URL, I guess.

The hoarders are returning the TP purchased.

Shoot, I've been flushing it all those years. Will try to return it next time.

Local store's TP supply getting wiped out. Sigh...
