“As long as President Trump can keep the supply chain moving,”
When did that become a Federal responsibility?
L
One would think so, but some free traitors are behaving like Greta Thunberg and her fellow climate change cultists.
Actually as long as people hadn’t been terrified selfish slobs there wouldn’t be a shortage.
But hey this is 2020 :-) selfishness is in
Grocery stores buy very little from China. No real problem restocking.
It’s a madhouse everywhere. Just a few months ago I was marveling at the bounty at supermarkets. But I had a vision that it could end. I’m sure this is temporary but we have to ask God for forgiveness and give thanks when times are good. Pray America. It would be a good idea for Trump to ask for a day of prayer.
Went at 0900 yesterday. Lot packed. No thanks.
Went at 0600 this morning. many more people there than usual for the time, but no craziness. Lines were short after the first rush cleared through. Extra checkers were on duty.
Found corned beef brisket — but no cabbage. 8-(
As an employee of FedEx I’d like to thank everybody for depleting store shelves.
Our busy season has started early this year as stores are running out of product. Yesterday was our busiest so far.
My bonus should be pretty good in a few months.
Local Publix was stocked normally of most food items. TP was low and they were rationing tissue to 2 boxes per customer. Otherwise business as usual. This is nothing but hype.
Yesterday, I stopped by the Wal-Mart in Geneva, AL. A few more shoppers than usual. All the alcohol and peroxide shelves were bare but nothing else unusual as far as I could tell.
A few minutes later stopped at a grocery store which was having a sale. Nothing unusual at all. Even had plenty of peroxide.
I haven’t personally witnessed it but two of my kids in the Dallas area say that it is a madhouse. Empty shelves, long lines, etc. We are traveling back from Spring Break and the few stores that we have been were fine. The Dollar General yesterday was out of toilet paper. I think the hoarders are more of the urban squalor types.
My wife had a Kroger coupon from months ago and stashed a boatload of tp and paper towel as a matter of frugality. Glad she did that.
Stores could curb this stupid behavior by greedy shoppers by posting large signs saying NO RETURNS!!! The hoarders will want to bring their beat up cartons & packages back after this madness is over, but stores should have an “all sales final” policy so kooks can’t bring back their 500 rolls of TP.
Good! Keep the economy humming...farmers will make a killing!! Good for them! There’s always an upside to every downside!!
Good point and well said.
So why doesn't the US free market induce American manufacturers to rev up the supply, satisfy the demand, and make a profit?
Local schools here in Indiana are making up 5 day grub packs of breakfast and lunch and distributing them to needy youts on the federal lunch program. Delivery by school bus drivers or pick up at school.
OUTSTANDING post/thread for citizen reporters/truth seekers. My very good friend Kris W was in the KZOO Mich Costco yesterday and he said shoppers with their carts were lined up around the interior of the store waiting to check out. Many shelves were empty. He sent a pic to my phone. WOW. I’m a tech caveman.
BUMP for preparedness considerations.
Effing grocery store updates ?

Went to my local store a bit run down store that never has high traffi and everything was fine. Yesterday they closed schools in the state until the end of the month at least. Stopped in the more upscale large store that I never go to since I was close by and needed something and it litereallly looked like a bomb had gone off is some sections.
I done know if it was the school closing announcement that made the difference as folks prepared for 2-3 weeks of their kids being home all day every day or just different behaviors for this with more discretionary spending ability vs those with less.. but the difference was striking
