Real life story. Twice in the past when every bit of frozen yogurt was sold out on a sale, there was a good amount of Vanilla Bean flavor left. Twice.

Years ago I heard a visiting Soviet interviewed who complimented the news guy by saying “Your government food distribution system in the United States is far more efficient than ours is.”
He was referring to agricultural harvesting and shipment, warehouses, trucks, supermarkets and Costco type big box stores which he assumed were owned by the government here.
Now they will be.

Didn't Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson say he was going to build a chain of city-owned grocery stores that would bring groceries to residents of Chicago's "food deserts" ?
I wonder what happened to that brilliant idea ?

I wonder what happened to that brilliant idea? What happened? They probably built the grocery stores in a real desert, thinking, like most democRATS, that they are doing good.

They’re too stupid to understand. The Soviets and communism aren’t doing too badly under Putin, right?

I went to a microbiology conference where someone was discussing the challenges of food recalls. The distribution system in the US is so efficient that food can be sold in grocery stores in 13 states before anyone determines there is a problem with it. We literally cannot stop the distribution of tainted food in a timely manner, before it hits grocery shelves.
Our distribution system is great. Our recall system could use a little more work.
