Many of the less fun logistical jobs (like trucking stuff to stores!) are un- or under-filled. All the TP at the plant doesn’t do you any good unless someone is willing to cart it out to where you can buy it.
Even the megacorps who set this up are hurting; I drove by a digital billboard that, out of 6 ads that ran while I was waiting at a light, had 4 different Amazon job displays.
Corollary: anyone who gets the jab unwillingly under coercion from their employer is a loon.
There’s a huge logistics issue caused by a backlog unloading ships. Even if it’s not food, if the item requires packaging and that comes from overseas, they can’t send their product to market. This problem won’t be sorted until after new years 2023.
Not really seeing it. At most down 10% from pre covid
Supply chains are still definitely being disrupted. I think a lot of is it still trying to get back on track after last year.
Yes. Shopping yesterday, mid day when shelves should be restocked, there were a lot of gaps. I am a little ashamed to say I bought 2 of everything and items not on my list.
I wonder if this tracks back to companies firing people for not taking the graphene oxide injection.
I’ve noticed lots of things not being stocked. A certain brand of wipe, a propane regulator, a brand of yogurt, a type of ice cream bar. And that’s just in the last week.
I told FrogDad, we’re getting more and more like the Soviet Union.
Where are you located?
Yes my wife tells me everytime she comes back from the store.
This may or may not be related, but I have noticed disruptions in the restaurant business. Yesterday, a common and popular Asian fast food was closed without notice. The Deli-style cafe next door was closed for non-payment of rent.
I’m in Upstate NY. Starting to stock up on canned goods for winter.....soups, tuna, sauce, macaroni, gravy, mac & cheese...
Try buying Gatorade, toilet paper, paper towels, some meat (beef shoulder, pork butt, for example - and don’t get me started on the price of brisket).
Have to accept what they have, otherwise get nothing.
Employee shortage, truck driver shortage.
Not enough people want to work.
What little I’ve seen has been pretty clearly related to restocking delays, either from trucks that don’t arrive on time or workers that aren’t avaialble. Several times I’ve noticed sections that are depleted one day will be overflowing the next. That says it’s not due to a supply shortage. And it’s different stuff, lunch meat one day, the candy aisle the next.
Great, so I suppose next under the Biden illegal occupation starvation is next. Yep this is certainly better than a POTUS who Tweets a lot
Somebody supported these stupid Democrat sons of bitches.
Was a local gun store yesterday and was talking to the owner about it seems that his store started stocking up again. Display cases for the handguns were pretty much full, long gun racks full. Ammunition starting to fill the store again.
He does a very, very brisk business, talks to folks from every walk of life and he has some loyal customers from across the spectrum. His customers that are reliant on the supply chain all say the same thing.
Parts/Material-not having enough folks to get/make/mine the material or parts......Manufacturing-as in not having enough folks in the plants to make the stuff.....shipping-not enough drivers to deliver it all. And that ripple effect is across every industry.
Even throughout last year’s panic buying he never raised his prices, although he did limit how much one person could but at a time. And he always had very competitive prices. Now, his prices are starting to creep up because he’s paying more, due to a variety of issues, and the price gouging shills are having to reduce theirs as supply is starting to catch up with demand.
And right now, with kids being indoctrinated in schools they way they are, the fact they’ve been conditioned to thinking they’ll develop the next Facebook-Instagram-Snapchat, the talent pool is shrinking rapidly with those that want to go into the trades, fix sh*t or drive trucks. Lots of reasons for that, as well.
Sorry folks, I took all of it.
Everything is fine here in KC. In fact, the price of hamburger went down 1.00 per pound this week at my local grocery store. It’s usually 1.99 in the 10lb roll - rose to 3.99 for awhile and now it’s 2.99. Also, 10lb pack of chicken legs for .49 per lb.
One of my kids works for a wholesale food distributor. The company - and the companies they do business with - are facing critical labor shortages. People (younger Americans) simply do not want to work. They can’t fill warehouse, inventory, or delivery jobs. And they are using the coof as an excuse.
As a direct result orders are being delayed, scheduled deliveries are stacking up or being missed. Often the deliverymen are arriving at the stores only to find the doors shuttered because there was no one on duty to receive the delivery. Same with inbound deliveries. Massive and all~too~common interruptions to deliveries are being experienced.
A huge, extremely complex, and utterly critical ecosystem supporting the food market has been compromised by the architects of the Plandemic.
And it is only going to get worse.
