The Trump administration plans to almost double duties on Canadian softwood lumber to 27%, with the possibility of additional levies pushing the rate to more than 50%. While Trump advocates for new tariffs partly to bolster U.S. manufacturing, they may also hit the availability of northern bleached softwood kraft pulp, or NBSK, a key component in making toilet paper and paper towels.

      Pretty sure bidets are woke. Has something to do with the silent t and the fact it shares many letters with “biden”

        That’s funny, but watch out - somewhere, some conservative is reading that and taking it to be exactly as you wrote it. Before long Republicans will be passing laws banning bidets and even forcing them to be ripped out of homes because of “bidet wokeness”.

        I would add a /s, but with the way America is crumbling ever-further into ridiculousness, satire is becoming real at ever-increasing rates. Even The Onion is constantly getting upstaged by reality these days.
