Stores are being cleaned out of TP because some knucklehead started a panic that the port strike would cause TP shortages.

Depending on how you cut it up, a Luke Voit replica jersey could probably last a couple of weeks

I don’t use it anyway, so I just roll my eyes at these people.

strike over. I should have shorted TP futures expecting a quick end to the strike and made a killing. Would have been very MDS.

The longshoremen just got their golden parachutes...the ports are all gonna look like Rotterdam and Antwerp in 10 years, lots of beeping droids and not a soul in sight.

They went back to work after they got raises. They’ll fold knowing the current old timers will be able to retire and that the young guys will be the ones getting screwed. Here’s hoping it happens faster than they anticipated so that the old guys selling the young guys down the river get hit too
