The price paid for recycling aluminum cans does not indicate any shortage. I am ready to start throwing them in the regular garbage.

I’ve seen the same thing at my local Shop Rite. Certain items available and others aren’t. Happily though there’s seems to be no shortage of Mallomars.

Probably came from China. I don’t buy chicken unless it’s labeled, “hatched, raised and processed in USA”.

Make no mistakes. While Obama couldn’t fundamentally transform America like he wanted to do, the modern day Democrats have gotten election fraud down to a science and if they take the House, Senate and White House next month, goodbye Republic and hello civil war.

You been to Chile lately? Have you?

They’re having riots regularly the likes of Portland and Seattle right now and they are on the verge of a real civil war.

My SHTF home is there and all you have to do is google some news to see the violence.

"Fortunately, for the vast majority of my readers that is just a hypothetical question."

Perhaps, but if the pro-communist, anti-American Democrats succeed in turning the USA into Venezuela, it's going to be a lot more than hypothetical.

You can believe whatever you want.

The food problem is not going to go away.

That is a very good point.
Seems like sometime in the past couple of decades that inventory became the devil and some accountants decided it was costing their businesses too much to store up products and food.

I live near two major poultry processing plants. I don’t think they can keep up with demand.
The price of chicken has gone up slightly since this “pandemic” started in my area.

The rotisserie went up over $2/chicken.

It's possible. So much does come from China and we sell them rice thanks to Trump's deals with them.

Most chicken, regardless of where it's from, is fast raised for maximum profit and fast chick to chicken to market time.

Global means nothing. Not going to happen across the entire globe. The US, alone, can produce enough food to feed the planet.

here’s the actual link, and it’s complete clickbait garbage which pretty much just rips off a cnn article (https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/27/business/grocery-stores-stockpiling-pandemic/index.html) about stocking up on paper products and cleaning supplies in case of a panic hoarding during a “second wave” (nothing about food shortages or stores “stocking up” on food):

Marxist socialism and “state capitalism” are one and the same, JFTR.

President Camacho : S..t. I know s..t’s bad right now, with all that starving bulls..t, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.

South Carolina Representative # 1 : That’s what you said last time, dips..t!

South Carolina Representative # 2 : Yeah, I got a solution, you’re a d.ck! South Carolina, what’s up!

We also had problems with milk containers. Sort of silly since they were short of one size but had plenty of other sized containers. Then there’s the ice cream, cheese, yogurt, dry milk, butter, etc. markets that could take up the difference.

I’m still having a hard time getting powdered milk. Haven’t been able to get Clorox wipes or anything Lysol since the first of Feb. No yeast, either. This is commuting distance to Austin where they aren’t lacking in anything.
