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.
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.

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?
Noticing it in Wisconsin. It’s because we have communists writing our economics policy.
When shopping for a new car recently, the car lots had almost no inventory for new and almost new used cars. The car I bought had to be bought sight unseen and shipped to me. Apparently there is a shortage of license plates too so it will be a while before I get them.
Our local town had an article about a shortage of paint so can’t repaint the crosswalks. The food stores are having a lot of shortages too. I’m in eastern Washington state.
I was finally able to find the Johnsonville Farm Honey & Brown Sugar sausage links I like, after them being missing from the store for 6-8 weeks. The Walmart here is the only store that carries that particular flavor. I've tried the Vermont Maple, but don't care for them. There were only four packages left on the shelf, so I bought all four and threw them in my freezer. Lord only knows when they'll have them in stock again. The last time I bought them, I bought three packs, and threw them in the freezer. I ate the last two links two weeks ago. That package had a use-by date of 5/24/21, which tells you just how long ago I had bought them.
To replace the Johnsonville links, I bought two packages of Bob Evans original sausage patties, and threw them in my freezer. I didn't notice until I was down to the last four patties in the first package, that the top layer of the black styrofoam that they sat on, was sticking to the bottom of the patty. They don't put their patties on top of a protective sheet. They place the patties right on the styrofoam. I ended up having to wash the black foam off the patties before I could cook them. I wrote the company about it, and they said they are investigating it. I've never had that happen to frozen meat before, no matter what it was. When I found the Johnsonville links on Tuesday, I tossed the other package of Bob Evans patties in the garbage.
I also like to buy Bob Evans Sausage Gravy and Biscuits in their freezer section. The only store here that carries them is Tops, and they haven't had them for well over a month. I'm not starving by any means, but at 74, I don't like having to shop at three different stores in order to find what I need. If I happen to have a doctor's appointment in the city 15 miles away, I'll try to hit the Walmart that is there, or one of the other grocery stores that are just down the road from it.
I was in Walmart this morning and I was lucky enough to grab the last couple of half gallons of Vanilla Almond milk. Almond milk is becoming harder to find.
My European Cheeses were nowhere to be found and I can no longer find the large boxes of pre-sliced Tennessee Pride Sausage.
The last several trips to purchase groceries, I’ve encountered empty and almost empty shelves.
I’m becoming concerned.
All it takes to empty shelves is the idea that shelves are being emptied. This is why price controls and rationing are so dangerous:
- if shelves are being emptied and prices remain the same, the shelves will be emptied: scarcity results.
- if shelves are being emptied and prices rise, demand will drop and supply will rise: stock equilibrium will be found.
When I mention to younger shoppers that the shelves look like a Soviet grocery store they stare at me like a deer in headlights.
When I say it to guys my age and older they appreciate the humor.
I’ve noticed this for quite a while since the initial panic buying in early 2020. It seems like there are always different types of items that are missing or in short supply, but it’s very random.
