Food Shortages

[Buckshot4900]

And if you think this is just happening naturally...
Then, you ain't been paying attention.
THIS, my friends. Is by design...

Yessir and they think they’re hurtin all us red blooded Americans, but,
I was raised on the poor side of town in Jackson, MS. so I promise you I won’t go hungry. Fried squirrel with gravy may get old but it’ll keep you alive.

If there is any good that comes out of all this, the food shortages, the high inflation, the lockdowns, the govt mandates... it just might ensure the democrats won’t win another major national election for at least a decade or more. America is waking up to the Real cost of socialism

they didn't WIN the last one, they stole it, with help from the Republicans....

I allways laugh because the first thing you notice missing are the lunchables. I guess kids dont eat sammy’s today. The waffles were all gone too.

I was managing a meat dept. in the late 80`s when Oscar Mayer Lunchables came on the market. We had 4-5 different varieties that barley had only 3 ft. of space on one shelf, and they sold so-so. When I left the grocery business in 2006 my meat dept. had a Lunchables section that was almost 12 ft. wide and on every shelf from top to bottom. Easily sold 50-60 cases of all varieties per week. You would also be surprised at how many grownups buy them for their lunch as well. The Pizza Lunchables with a drink sold the most.

Go to HEB around 0600 - before the others get there and clean the shelves out.

The items - missing around noon - were stocked overnight - limited stocks.

Started going as the stockers are still working the aisles before sunrise. And I ask those working - if it is empty today or pending?

A lot of it is just - limited quantities of full orders.

From the Computer and Network hardware engineering world - the high end systems - lead times for orders made on new high tech gear, some of it is a year out with customers who paid for the gear - it's all piled up in Taiwan and just out of eye sight of the beaches in Seattle to San Diego.

Those ships seen - dozens and dozens anchored off all of western main ports of transport to the East - those ships were ordered to go offshore and loiter away from the view of the beach - so the news/press can't report on what they see.


Truckers along the left liberal States of California - Oregon - Washington are getting hammered with ECO FUEL LAWS - MASK MANDATES and many there who would of invested in a quarter million dollar tractor trailer diesel are now at odds of upcoming E-LAW Mandates - forcing their business investments in trucking as a resident of any one of these three states - are now not wanting to truck because diesel may become a fine and or e-policy issue - as they are years into paying off the note on their ride and business futures.


So the CLOUD OF GREEN NEW ENERGY - mixed with PLANDEMIC - mixed with LIBERAL LEFT COAST POLICIES = SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES AT THE MAIN SEAPORTS EAST - WHERE THE JUNK WE BUY - GETS MASS PRODUCED

Once that domino tipped - Keystone pipeline shut down - Russia now has Germany on the OIL/GAS - ECONOMY ROPES - literally all of Germany's energy needs are now under PUTINS' BUTTON PUSHING FINGERS.

This is all predicted - and now the result of these LIBERAL - PROGRESSIVE POLICIES are all at the forefront - with a lying spineless - world class POLITICIAN - the likes of Politicians we despise = all rolled up with this guy - he's been inside the longest with zero substance - milking us taxpayers on millions with his direct family and trillions in losses throughout the world - for literally 50 years inside the beltway.

And when he talks SCRANTON SCRANTON SCRANTON and **** poor historical stories - grandpa like - with nothing NOW and or TOMORROW

His message is his past and his stories of his past. It's sick to witness - career politician at the coffee mess - talking about yesterday with the BORDER CZAR - taking trips to Hungary instead of the border.

We worry about Ukrainian borders - yet we fly illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds into cities of the USA in the cover of darkness - 2 to 3 million so far in less than 1 year.

This is OBSCENE!

The shelves here are bare of Ramen noodles, how will i ever survive ��

Food shortages are real and will be getting worse. I left one of the largest food mfg companies in the world first of this year. Poor leadership who would rather cater to the lbqgt than fox procurement and solve issues that would get product to distributors. 30% fill rate on PO’s was the norm when I left vs 99% 2 years ago. Mgmt would run initiatives on product we had zero stock of at our DC’s and could not produce… yes… that was how out of touch they were. It was embarrassing

Boxes of cereal and frozen goods - many manufacturers are now shorting each box 1 oz of product - and keeping the pricing the same.

Domino effect of increasing fuel costs, medical mandates with unions keeping workers at home playing COVID, the cost of operations is rising and instead of shocking folks with new packaging - we get the same box of stuff - missing an ounce or two of product.

This is across the board as well as Restaurants - you order a plate of food - the plate is the same price but - you have less volume on the plate.

This is well underway right now - I work in the Technical trenches supporting a FOOD SERVICE COMPANY that covers hardware/software and installations of all Commercial Kitchen cooking systems as well as parts to service this equipment.

Texas only 10,000 plus customers - HEB, School Districts, Local Government and Prisons/Schools - Restaurants and campuses - the big TESLA APPLE USAA AT&T et al stuff.

Malls and strip malls - all of the fast food stuff.


We have been hurting since Obama - got better for a moment under Trump = way worse now.


And after the botched pull out in Afghanistan - he wants to put 8500 of our finest in Ukraine?

With a border wide open and Cops getting killed on the streets here by ILLEGAL ALIENS and PAYING THE CARTEL FOR THE BODIES THEY SEND ACROSS THE RIVER.

We are funding the Mexican CARTEL - one ILLEGAL AT A TIME - last I heard t's about 7k per person - to the cartel. Then the other costs, river crossing fees, boat fees et al. This is about illegal business south - sending illegal bodies north - the losers - US THE TAXPAYER AND US CITIZENS


How many here now x 7k x 4-5 million?

And we have 3 more years of this to GO?

Food shortages with more mouths here = DISASTER

That's giving them way too much credit to think ahead. I believe they are dumb asses and don't have a clue. Their stupidity is what is causing this.

Pretty much everything happening are the consequences of dumb *** decisions they couldn't think through.

You are making a very bad mistake and that is you are underestimating the enemy. The leftist are not stupid but are very smart. This is all part of their plan, right after they stole the election. Keep your powder dry, we are going to have to go 1776 again. Are you ready?

I went shopping this weekend. Normally do the butcher shop every other week and the Wife has had a small cold for 5 days. I looked hard for empty shelves and saw very few. Store was 90% full and you had to really look for empty spots. I am sure living 5 miles from the port of Houston helps...

From what I’m reading and seeing for myself, small towns that only have a single Walmart to serve a large area have been hit the hardest. Metro areas are fairing MUCH better, for now.

Only thing within 25 miles of me is a small Brookshires and it was stocked to the hilt about 6pm.
Went to the nearest Wally World (26 miles away) and it was fully stocked so I’m thinking it’s all caused by the hoarders people that panic.

So 10% empty of normal?
