    In Oregon there are paper mills that make toilet paper among other paper products so No,(otherhalftw) they don't come from China. There is also a huge paper mill in Lewiston Idaho.

    Been there for all my driving years ... 3 in Portland area, 1 in St. Helens, 1 south of Albany, and 3 come to mind up in WA.
    So, no the rates will be same as usual....in the pot so to speak.
    Also, there are two locations in the L.A. area that make TP from stock feed from OR and WA. If you see Georgia Pacific, that is their thing, not just west coast but Georgia, NY, Jersey, OH, and IN that come to mind.
     
    Dave_in_AZ, WesternPlains and 51.50 Thank this.

    If you were referencing my post from earlier ... I was being sarcastic. I just don't use the emoticons or slash bars to indicate my sarcasm.

    You’d think...

    When demand goes up, the price should go up.

    This is a global issue now. No one is buying anything for weeks to come. Your govt will shut down once this gets there. You will be stuck.

    People are making this way worse than it needs to be, so its going to cause long term issues. If you dont have capital to fund yourself, you might not be able to get a job soon. Who knows.
     
    Rocks, WesternPlains and otherhalftw Thank this.
