America Is Running Out of Everything

[Brian4Liberty]

There's more going on than just a shipping backup from Asia. If that was true, there wouldn't be a "trucking shortage." You would be able to easily get domestic products shipped. If ports don't have enough dock workers to unload ships, there would be an excess amount of trucks to make other deliveries. Yet, somehow you can't get locally grown potatoes delivered anymore causing a "fry shortage."

Just like the argue that the Rona is responsible for everything is a distraction, so are these shipping issues. There's something way bigger going on. The house of cards is collapsing. We're used to be able to buy whatever we wanted for our federal reserve IOUs. Now, that those same products can be sold elsewhere, for something besides fed coupons, we're just getting the table scraps.

Like it was said above, price increases are likely being blocked, so end up with a shortage. It's time to pay the Piper. Hopefully everyone has some good backup supplies. This isn't getting better anytime soon.

I'd guess the single biggest contributor to this is government (globally), but more specifically to COVID shutdowns and new government incentives for people to not work.

You can't have thousands of local farms across the country close year after year to be replaced by real estate developments and expect all agricultural products to always be available through a handful of monopolies. ​Many of which are importing from outside the country.

No one wants to be a mindless drone working for a pittance for a handful of elitist immoral Billionaires that will discard their workforce on a whim. The elites always point the finger at everyone else for their mess. People used to have a loyalty to their employer, they were taken care of with a pension and sometimes work for them their whole life. You can't say that now since the elites don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.

The young people are seeing the country they were left for what it is. The crumbs called government incentives not to work as a cause is their propaganda to cover for the mess of a country they gave us.

Not legal.

Unless it's a motorcycle.

By the way, a three wheeled car is legally a motorcycle...

Ding! Ding! Fuck a bunch of fatwahs. If available I'd buy a Toyota Hilux tomorrow. But, Chicken Tax. Too bad they can't be made right here in the good ole U.S.A.

That is the most hysterical three paragraphs of Marxist media organ bullshit I have read in months.

I guess you missed this one.

You Know Who Else Opposed Vaccine Mandates? Hitler.

The way this should be rectified is by prices rising faster than they have been. Something is preventing that and keeping prices artificially lower than they would otherwise be, possibly price gouging laws, I'm not sure.

Prices are sticky. Sellers try not to shock their buyers, so they’ll raise prices slowly. Add that up and down the chain and you’ll see slower inflation than what we should. Don’t worry, though, they’ll catch up soon enough.

They'll do what they've always done. Put an inflated on their product above their price point for profit then put up an "on sale" sign showing a 20% discount. "Today Only!"

There's a reason the Dollar Store is becoming a Tree Fiddy Store. It ain't because they are offering better products.

The coronavirus pandemic has snarled global supply chains in several ways.

Government meddling has "snarled global supply chains" nothing more.

 

[Occam's Banana]

Gee, it's almost like capital has structure, or something.

Lately where I live they are shocking me. Every week it has been up across the board when I go to the grocery stores. Even McDonalds stuff I buy went up another 70 cents this week. Fast food is so expensive here it is now a luxury item. I used to go the mall food court chains for really cheap food. Only a few years ago I was surprised at how cheap it was and how much I was saving. Now I consider it a luxury eat out due to how expensive it is to eat there.

The fed should be raising interest rates to lower inflation but of course they are not since they don't give a shit about the people. Only protecting the elite class.

Trickle down immorality.

The left adheres to it like crazy glue.

Supply chain shortages = Black Market opportunities (just sayin).

For 20 years I've been going to my neighborhood 7-11 for sugar and Half-n-Half (I drink a sh!tload of coffee). He stocks lots of Half-n-Half because I buy them 2 at a time. This morning I run over there while my coffee is brewing, and they're out of sugar, Half-n-Half, hot dogs, and haven't been able to get chicken wings for a month.

Things just got real.

No things just got inconvenient..

Real is when the dairyman decides that whole milk,(full butterfat) is worth one hour of your labor for one gallon.

When that dairyman decide to cut out all the middlemen then things get real.

You got that right.

Because what can your average city asshole trade in labor that the dairyman might want?

An hour lecture on his white privilege?

A power point presentation on how there are 128 genders and men can get pregnant?

A modern art makeover of his mud room?

I can turn his computer on and off until it works again so he can keep watching Netflix

Are those even supposed to be eaten?

I thought those hot dogs spinning on the rollers were just a novelty to amuse the customer.

I had no idea that they were ever eaten after spinning there for days/weeks/months.
