Political Roundtable / toilet paper price increase coming because of---« Last post by rainman2 on Today at 12:20:51 AM »BREAKING: SH*TTY MOVE! Donald Trump’s idiotic trade war with Canada is threatening to drive up the price of TOILET PAPER for Americans – as they HIT BACK at his tariffs!
For some reason, Donald Trump says it’s time to “teach Canada” a lesson. Americans may end up paying for it every time they go to the bathroom. Trump’s escalation of his trade war with our northern neighbor could see toilet paper prices DOUBLE since Canada supplies the States with the vast majority of finished paper products AND the raw materials for American firms to need to make them. Canada’s justified clapback in retaliatory tariffs of up to 50 percent on nearly 900 American products beginning next month – and toilet paper tops the list! Americans have already been hit once. Procter & Gamble, which makes Charmin, said last year that Trump’s earlier tariffs forced the company to raise prices on paper products by more than a quarter. Much of the toilet paper sold in the States is manufactured here, but American paper companies rely heavily on Canadian pulp and other raw materials. The United States also imported $328 million worth of finished toilet paper from Canada in 2024, more than from any other country. One international estimate found that Americans are the biggest toilet paper users in the world, burning through more than 141 rolls per person every year. [If that sounds crazy to you, it does to us too. But the study with the data is behind a paywall, so just go with it, OK? -Ed.] In light of all this, Trump seems determined to make matters worse, this morning calling Canada “one of the worst countries in the world to deal with ” in a phone interview. The billionaire Trump insists the US can just do without Canadian products, notwithstanding “a little inconvenience,” righteously declaring: “It’s time to teach Canada. You can’t do this anymore.” Trump wanted to wipe the floor with Canada. Instead, his trade war could leave Americans wondering what the hell they’re supposed to wipe with. Where’s that Sears catalog? 20
Political Roundtable / Re: 7-13-26 the reflecting pool« Last post by rainman2 on Today at 12:15:39 AM »UNCOOL POOL: Workers are caught peeling giant sheets of coating off the Reflecting Pool BY HAND -- that’s some “hundred-year renovation”! 😆
Donald Trump promised his bright blue makeover of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool could last an entire century. It didn't make it through the summer. New video from photographer Joe Flood shows workers repairing the drained pool casually pulling ginormous flaps of the “American Flag Blue” sealant from the basin with their bare hands. A power washer sends still more pieces flying. Of course, this is totally embarrassing because Trump has spent weeks insisting it was determined malefactors – or perhaps wascally wabbits – not his shitty contractor, who were responsible for the damage. “There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!” Trump bleated on Truth Social. As we all know, his own Justice Department couldn’t make that dog hunt. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro dropped charges against former Olympian David Hearn after prosecutors determined that the damage was likely caused by a botched installation. Lesser charges against three others were also dropped. Trump responded by publicly attacking his own prosecutor, saying he was “very disappointed” Pirro” and complaining that she “choked before “folding like an umbrella.” After all that, Mr. Never Back Down hasn’t backed down, inviting prolonged ridicule on him and his gang of idiots by doing stuff like installing signs around the drained pool declaring that crews were “repairing areas damaged by vandals” and insinuating that somehow Calvin Coolidge might have had a hand in it. Flood’s video confirms what we already knew: the work just sucked and the expensive gunk they laid down too quickly is now peeling off like old wallpaper. The whole project has been a fiasco from the start. Trump ordered the historic pool painted “American Flag Blue,” only for the makeover to contribute to one of its largest algae blooms in years. The pool has since been drained twice and sits empty and shedding its skin like a snake. And reader, we can’t leave you without sharing who did Team Trump hire to fix the botched work: Atlantic Industrial Coatings -- the same contractor that installed it! 🙄 Interior Secretary Doug Burgum insists the company nonetheless “did a fantastic job.” Sure. And the Titanic had a fantastic maiden voyage right up till the iceberg got in its way. |
