Gaslighting by the left.

There is no food shortage.

Once we had empty shelves. But we’re been fully stocked for a very long time.

Yes, we still have the pandemic. But I believe that the “second wave” is a scare tactic, perhaps designed by the Dims and their communist collaborators to keep us from voting on Nov. 3.

Take your flu and pneumonia shots, keeep social distancing, and above all, PRAY and VOTE Republican. Not too long from now, we shall have safe and effective vaccines and other treatments. Don’t let the Dims and commies (among others) keep you from taking them!!!!

This is pretty bogus:

“He couldn’t feed his family. Matilde Alonso knew it was true but couldn’t believe it. The pandemic had just hit Guatemala in full force and Alonso, a 34-year-old construction worker, was suddenly jobless.

He sat up all alone till late that night, his mind racing, and fought back tears. He had six mouths to feed, no income and no hope of receiving anything beyond the most meager of crisis-support checks — some $130 — from the cash-strapped government.”

Guatemala specifically shut down its borders to make sure COVID-19 did not cause its economy problems. A relative handful ever brought or got COVID-19 because of this. People kept their jobs and plants continued to grow bountiful amounts of food, for which the climate paradise is well-known.

A food crisis would be inevitable with the Green New Deal. There have yet to be developed any electric powered tractors, combines and heavy duty trucks that are needed to plant, harvest and transport farm commodities. Since farting cows and presumably pigs will be banned more intense cultivation will be required for an increasing vegan diet. Fertilizers and pesticides that allow large yields of course are petroleum based. Whether the high speed rail network envisioned by the GND included enough infrastructure and rolling stock to get produce to market is yet to be seen. The type of blackouts we are seeing in California would make the storage of perishable impossible. Mass starvation would be a real issue.

U.S. farm bankruptcies hit an eight-year high last year, and they are on pace to go even higher this year.

This should deeply alarm all of us, because we are going to need as much food production as possible during the years to come.

——————

And the filthy Chinese Communists are buying up most of the bankrupt farms in the US. Products then shipped straight to Communist China. Less food for the US.

Hard to starve to death in Guatemala, certainly problems with an unbalanced diet but starvation, no.

The toilet paper scare got everyone worried. Now it’s a food shortage. Can we stop this nonsense?

The author makes it sound like he knows the future is bad, simply because Clorox Wipes are missing from a store’s shelf.

The author apparently doesn’t have the brainpower to know detergents, soaps, and other cleaners like simple bleach, have NEVER been cumulatively gone from store shelves this whole time.

But Clorox Wipes, to him, are the only necessary sign that proves doom is coming.

This is a nutball.

China will find themselves in a real bind regarding food - their storage facilities are full of rotten and damaged grains, much of which has been stolen or redistributed. Provincial government managers do not dare tell the truth, or they lose their cushy jobs.

The floods and droughts in China, combined with locusts and swine flu have decimated food supply chains. Biblical proportions for their shortages possibly, can’t say as though I actually give a damn.

Play communist games, win fake prizes!!

I am angry to see such scare tactics. Yes, the supply chain was interrupted for a few weeks. But now every shelf is full and has been for several months. Aside from one or two items with special circumstances, even the One store that suffered the only significant shortages is back to full normal operations. Yes, anything might happen tomorrow. Biden might concede the election tomorrow, too. And nearly everyone has at least a few weeks of grub stored in their pantry or garage. Let’s not let these Chicken Littles cause us any unnecessary sleep loss. Stock up if you havent. And. E prepared to defend yourself from the soroznazi and the dnc mane the Burn Loot and Murder gangs or whatnot. Then, enjoy the day and if you will do try to help others as best you can.
