Cubans experiencing hard times because of dismal economic conditions have one more thing to worry about - toilet paper supplies.

The country's supplies are running low and new deliveries are not expected until the end of the year, a state-run company said.

The prices of 24 essential goods have been slashed to help residents during the financial crisis - but officials deny there is a shortage.

However the demand for toilet paper is "presenting problems", according to an official with state conglomerate Cimex.

"The corporation has taken all the steps so that at the end of the year there will be an important importation of toilet paper," the official told state-run radio.

I am surprised that this could happen in a workers paradise with features universal literacy and free quality health care for all. There must be some kind of mistake.

The shortage is obviously due to the unregulated toilet paper market. This is why free, unregulated markets don't work. people are too selfish.

Cuba must immedately implent new regulations to limit the number of sheets which are allowed to be used per wipe. Max 2 sheets (1 sheet during emergency) per wipe. Max 2 wipes (1 wipe during emergency). Toilet paper regulators must monitor home toilet paper consumption to ensure compliance. The regulators will be paid quite well so that there will be less temptation to take a bribe if asked to "look the other way".

Too bad our American companies can't sell to them. I mean we're in a massive recession and have the ability to sell a ton of shit to these people and we can't. So much for free markets.
