Shit, Money, Paper & the Word

[Mark Kohut]

Have you noticed the precipitous drop in toilet paper prices within, say, 3 months? $23 to $15 for same order.
Have you tried to sell old books that are not 'rare"? 
 
Seems books with paper are not worth the shit they can remove---Word!
 
 
The Rest of the Story: paper prices have dropped maybe over 30% since late last year. 
Oil prices--needed to make t.p.--have fallen since last year.
There is almost no export market to t.p.--only Canada, then Mexico a distant second, then
the Phillipines a distant third---shit lovally, wipe locally. 
 
ebooks now outsell printed books in the UK..The US is gaining fast on that ratio. 
 
Perfect shit storm.
