Chris Jones, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs & Counsel of the National Grocers Association, told Today, "shopping early for the holidays is a wise strategy, especially under current conditions."

"There's plenty of food in the supply chain, but certain items may be harder to get at certain times due to a nationwide shortage of labor impacting manufacturers, shippers and retailers. Additionally, lack of enforcement of antitrust laws in the grocery marketplace have allowed dominant retailers to secure more favorable terms and ample supplies of high-demand goods while leaving many smaller retailers with limited selections or, in some cases, bare shelves," Jones said.

“There just isn’t always enough processing and transportation capacity to meet rising demand as the economy revs up.”

Let’s play “Spot The Bull****”, shall we?

So the problem is not a supply chain operating at 50% as the population increases by millions of illegals. It’s the result of Americans hording. That makes as much sense as biden getting 81M votes.

They can say whatever they want about Trump, but other than toilet paper, the shelves were never bare once we all got over the initial shock of the pandemic.

This occurred on Biden’s watch and it’s going to get worse on his watch.

The left owns this. They’ve fiddled around with climate change hysteria and other pet projects while our supply chain has crumbled.

Our stupid Transportation Secretary decided to stay on paternity leave for a baby he adopted, for goodness sake, while ask this happened.

There have been revolutions for this type of incompetence in the past.

I never imagined that we’d be here in October 2021 talking about supply-chain problems, but it’s a reality,

Karl Deninger (and many other bright folks) called this a year ago....there is a price to be paid for being stupid.

Duh, prices are going up. Why wouldn’t I stock up on Flour, Salt, Sugar, bread yeast, coffee, etc?
If I buy it and can store it easily, I save by just cutting out the inflation of the stupid trillions of dollars of stealing. Buy now and save for later just like my grandparents did.

Same here, until the commies stole the election.

You don’t need to hoard if you build cages strong enough to hold your neighbors.

No they are not

Just another Leftist lie to manufacture a scapegoat and avoid holding Biden Democrats accountable for their bad fiscal, monetary and energy polices

The supposed quotes here are almost a word for word recitation of the Biden regimes propaganda.

Intelligence and knowledge is also being hoarded, but by Christian Conservatives, while knowledge and intelligence is in short supply on the left.

Utter bullshit. If they managed under the Trump economy, they should have no problem with the limp biden/covid economy.

FJB: “What’s the plan?”

Dr. Evil: “First it’s $12/Lb bacon, then sliced ham will disappear, then we take their ice cream, soda and chicken! Then their coffee and diapers! Next their Fish Sticks and pot pies! followed by Rice Krispie Treats and finally their toilet paper! Damn the working poor!”

FJB: “Like witchraft! Excellent! Damn the working poor indeed.”
