??? The Chinese are going to master us by controlling our toilet paper supply? How Rome fell. Only 10% of the TP in America is made outside of North America, but the YaHoos seem to think so.

Didn't Trump authorize replenishment of the National TP Reserve for the troops?

NAh...I've got a bidet and the commissary has plenty. Little to no panic buying here. The DoD has issued a stop-movement for us all. Even folks going on personal leave or whatever.

They use facial recognition at the walmart stores and track what each customer buys. Walmart, china, and google are all buddies. OMFG! Where do you folks even come up with this crap?

The reason for the TP shortage is some idiot put on the internet that all of it is produced in China!

Walmart does use facial recognition software but doubtfully for the reasons stated here. They've made use of it for loss prevention, they bust a shoplifter and then automatically speed scan their video archives and find the same shoplifter has hit them many times before. Multiple times I've seen our local crime report where with the video evidence they successfully get 10 or 12 charges on a single shoplifter making their crime a felony instead of a misdemeanor, pretty cool tool....

We buy in bulk to reduce trips to the store; saves time and gas. Now it also reduces the risk of encountering the Wuhan Crud and other bugs, so it ain't necessarily about piling up a bunch of extra stuff for when the doodie hits the fan.

All the toilet paper sold in the USA is made here. I worked in the paper industry for 40 years. In fact there has been added production capacity to the fluff market, Diapers, TP, ETC. The paper mills where loosing huge money on their print papers, news print, coated and un-coated printing papers. They converted those plants and machines to the FLUFF MARKET 2-4 YEARS AGO. Each machine is 188" wide, they run 85,000-95,000 FPM. There are some larger machines this is a mid-sized one. The daily capacity is why beyond the consumption. They could run off enough in one week to supply the damn country for 2 months. The panicked hoarding of TP started with a tweet about how the Chinese make our TP. Does anyone fact check anything?

Does anyone fact check anything? Don't let facts get in the way of a good rumor or conspiracy theory.... If the crap hit the oscillator, now they'd have to move cases of TP out of the way to reach the .22 ammo, meanwhile blame Trump for not organizing storage.

A Food Lion employee told someone my wife works with that all Toilet paper comes from China. I told my wife that even the Chinese know that stuffing a 40' cargo container with toilet paper is a losing proposition. Faux News at its best.

I stocked up on a bunch of stuff for my Mother in the last couple of weeks at her request. I thought it was all much ado about not much but its looking like a pretty good idea now. I guess she is still smarter than me.
Then again, if everyone loses their mind at the same time, it really does not matter what the reason for it is or whether or not it makes any sense.

This is simply not true. They have security cameras, but not facial recognition systems.

What would be the fun in that?
I supect lots of folks run their housholds like companies, Just in Time, and run out to the store when one or two things run out or low instead of keeping a bit ahead on staples. Word gets out that the shelves are getting empty and everyone piles into the SUV and heads to Costco, and while they're there, get a bit extra. Stores, who operate on expected sales volume, run out of stuff. People start seeking alternative sources, and soon Home Depot, where no one ever buys TP or cleaning products unless they just happen to be there and in need, is out too. Rinse, repeat.
The supply chain will catch up, and just like gun sales after the last general election, sales of sanitation products will probably drop off a bit until the surplus is "wiped out"😜.
