- TeMPOraL 6y agoIn case of TP, I'd lean strongly towards the problem being caused by the supply chain being bifurcated between consumer and business markets. From what I anecdotally hear, there's plenty of TP available for cheap in the US, just all of it is in absurdly-sized rolls you would struggle to fit in your bathroom. I can compare that to Poland, where we didn't really have much of a TP shortage. Here, from my observation, most businesses buy the same type/size of TP as regular consumers do, so I suspect our market isn't as strongly bifurcated, and so there was no problem shifting supply from businesses to the stores.
