Please check this Twitter thread. There are a great many comments about the shortages and pictures of empty shelves in various parts of the country.
Very interesting that so many see this as "on purpose" and a way to control us.

The public is so gullible and clueless.

I have seen other youtuber truckers where they claim to make after expenses $10,000 a month. The link above is a guy who tells you how much he makes for any delivery. He has a house, new boat, new Hellcat car, and a 18 wheeler. He is about 40 with wife and 3 kids and 1 on the way.
True. We have been using the WM grocery pick up and you can ask for anything - coffee - cereal - beef, it doesn't matter. Fully half of the page will show out of stock. Some items I was getting a month ago are no longer even offered.
The trend is evident enough that we put together a stock up order last week to lay in paper, rice, beans, water and frozen goods and I will probably increase my next order with some more staples.
Follow Ice Age Farmer on YouTube to see how it’s intentional and will only get far worse.
LOL! Hey, I don’t want to downgrade the importance of TP, but...it seems like such a First World problem!
>>> I said commie/progressive are pushing panic buying
I can see that.
>>> LARGEST INCREASE IN THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM (WAAAAY OVER THE RATE OF INFLATION) AT this time? Odd timing don’t you agree?
I have not heard about this increase (I work for a living), but it would not surprise me. I might have a different opinion on the “why” though.
Probably the same purpose, but a different approach.
The way I see it, deep state is killing 2 birds with one stone by pouring cash into the EBT system:
1. They are starving the PRODUCERS of the WORKERS they need to bring product to market. EBT recipients would much rather sit on their ass than work for their food.
2. They are devaluing the dollar to hasten the crash of the economy so that the “great reset” can commence.
NOW... once that crash happens, ALL MONEY becomes worthless overnight. Once all the EBT cards are shut off abruptly, you will have your mass panic, and there won’t be any food left to panic buy by that time.
Finding a job will be moot as well, because the producers will be forced to close anyway.
I would say that if anything, the government is WARDING OFF panic at this time, because THEY WANT TO CHOOSE THE TIMING of the chaos.
>>> Then false stories about massive empty shelves (a lie)
NO.. they ARE emptying now... very slowly.
Will do.
Same thing is happening in many of the chain drug stores, here in York.
This is mostly due to the truck shortage we have been having the last few weeks. Yes the producers are still on their heels but nothing compared to the beginning of the virus. My opinion, the large conglomerates are limiting skus and reducing their costs and making a fortune. The smaller companies, in the long term, will reap the benefits as they slide into the open spot on the shelves. Retailers are catching on.
flour, sugar,baking powder, baking soda, salt,crisco, oil of all kinds....get the essentials folks.
The coming disaster named Ida is about to begin.
There is strangely absent coverage of the humanitarian crisis of this magnitude. The ONLY photos that can be found were taken Monday on the extreme edge of storm.
Please search on favorite, most trusted source. Note time and data of all information. Then check the source you regard as slanted and agenda driven. Same feeds of info. Crickets.
Yesterday CNN had article that stated 60+ million people will be displaced. I found this only after deliberate search..
Once the Canal street Marriott was safe, all coverage ended..
The FEMA and state command hub was unable to communicate with ANYONE for 30 hours ending before Monday press conference. No further statements can be found.
Around 140 mph, structures like brick houses crumble within a short time.
Every home, building, road, utilities experienced 140+ winds for 12+ hours.
That swath of devastation is probably 50 miles wide across the entire state.
Hurricane Ida will be the greatest displacement and humanitarian crisis our nation has faced.
Please consider this warning and help open eyes and hearts.
I am making arrangements to join Red Cross for shelter duty. I called and offered service to a list local chapters of organizations that provide disaster response. They seemed surprised at my urgent concerns. It is not on anyone’s radar.
Pardon me post and running. I am preparing to be deployed and hav e much to do.
Please feel free to share my warnings at activate others.
everytime I am in town, I buy SOMETHING...something I will need at some point....
Then don’t complain when the shelves are empty
There’s a push to make the jab a mandatory addition to truckers’ Health Cards, without which they cannot drive.
if that happens, logistics nationwide will be completely hosed as maybe 1/4 of our professional drivers walk off the job in protest.
Y’ain’t seen NOTHIN’ yet.
As a prepper since 2009, I was watching everyone and I had bought my TP the week before the panic happened, when I noticed the stock was starting to get low. Even though I didn't need any, I bought a bale. Then while they were going for the TP, I was loading up on canned chicken, canned tuna, and almond butter. By the next week, that was all gone.
The people who were not paying attention were the ones who got caught blind-sided. My brother being one of them. It was hilarious when he called me up to tell me he had been to every store on the west side, but finally found two packs of toilet paper if I needed any. Me: "I'm good. You keep those."
He's the same jack-a$$ who always made fun of me for stocking supplies.

This kind of crap has been going on for a long time. We all saw the devastation of Katrina (a Cat 3 hurricane) and it's aftermath daily for weeks. This was because it hurt Bush and there were a lot of blacks that could be presented as victims. What most people never saw was that 3 weeks later my area, the gulf coast of Texas was hit by Hurricane Rita (also a Cat 3 Hurricane) which devastated our area. Because Texas is a red state, those deaths and property losses were not pushed on the nightly news. We were on our own.
A similar thing happened with Hurricane Harvey. We all saw the devastation in Houston where again they could parade the victims. But 100 miles on the east side of Houston in a very conservative part of Texas we had 5 feet of water in a 4 day span. What we had makes NY look like a kiddie pool but there was no national coverage.
I’m in MO, and the Walmart’s in my neck of the woods have markedly sparse shelves.
YES. And sometimes it’s weird stuff, like refrigerated iced tea. Is there really a run on regrigerated iced tea, or is there a shortage of plastic jugs? A shortage of drivers?
